I graduated from VCMT with a background working at high end spa’s bodyworking previous to graduation. I enjoy my free time mountain biking, rockclimbing and being outdoors. I also travel often - most recent japan, bali, mexico, peru. Withstanding many minor injuries throughout my adventurous life I found decreasing tension in the nervous system can be a great start to healing and getting better and is where i found massage. I have a big shephard dog and we can be found at the river or in the mountains daily.
