I founded Heart in Hands in 2014 after many years of practicing in diverse clinical settings, hospitals, a spa and various locum positions throughout the Lower Mainland. Since opening our doors, I have maintained this thriving home based clinic, all the while my husband and I have grown a small family. These experiences shaped the foundation of my practice and solidified my commitment to offering compassionate, patient centred care.
While I have a well rounded education of manual therapy modalities, I've found that my hands lean towards slow, very specific fascial work in all of its forms, and unwinding the connective tissue matrix. With a treatment centred on slowing, easing and unwinding - there is a real opportunity for your nervous system to feel safe enough to disengage. And in that - an openness for your muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments, fascia and other soft tissues (that are all intertwined with nerves) to be gently guided towards optimal function and alignment. My approach to massage therapy is deeply tuned in, with a focus on creating a quiet, calming environment that allows me to listen & connect with the body. I employ gentle, confident, variable pressure and regularly micro-assess tissue while I am working on it to ensure the compatibility of technique & depth of pressure at any given time. At the moment I have a fascination with the ears and auditory system. And I am currently being educated in the world of audiology! Whether you require a single session or ongoing care, I am here to support you on your path to wellness. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out anytime. Email is the best & quickest way to get ahold of me =) |

Personal Interests
- The creation of all things from scratch. This is absolutely my favourite hobby. Whether it be making kids crafts, cooking / baking, or making my own natural body products and household products.
- Fun fact! I invented a bath product and call it The Soapbomb.
- Sounds cliche but it gives me joy to help others. Fills my cup, recharges my batteries. Love it.
- Making websites! It fosters my creativity in a way that feels efficient and productive.
