Attuned Acupuncture and Physiotherapy

About

I love integrating craniosacral therapy into my acupuncturist and my physiotherapist practices as I try to help people feel, move and function better.  I like working with individuals who are ready to explore how craniosacral therapy fits with physiotherapy or acupuncture.  I have worked with people who have acute or persistent concussion dysfunction, whiplash and headache, women ages 30 to 65 with complex medical problems, pain, hormonal imbalances and stress, and cancer survivors (i.e. breast cancer with trunk and arm stiffness and hot flushes, tumors, lymphoma).

One to one client care is provided with an attitude of loving kindness and compassion.

I volunteer as a medical classifier for parasport competition for Swim Canada or for Boccia Canada and as a teaching assistant for the International Alliance of Healthcare Educators Craniosacral Therapy 1 course.
