While completing my Naturopathy qualifications, I set up my first massage clinic in a medical center. Working out of a medical clinic, with referrals from several of the doctors, gave me an invaluable start in my massage/ bodywork career. Patients came to me with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Tourett's Syndrome, Rheumatoid Arthritis,  medically diagnosed stress, and many more complex health presentations. Some patients actually experienced so much relief that they were able to reduce their dosages of medications. I was encouraged!

I lived and worked in London as a Naturopath for a stint, as well as Sydney however, life in a city was never for me and I left home on a round-the-world ticket and never got further than Costa Rica- home now, since 2003. 

Over the years, I have grown more and more grateful for the chance to work with people on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual plane. It didn't all happen at once, but as the years pass by, the more I learn, and the more I realize I do not know!! Still, my hunger, curiosity, and desire to help heal people has never diminished and I continue to give my very best to each and every client. 

If you like a deeply nurturing, firm/ deep massage, with a mix of myofacial release, active release, trigger point work, and don't mind participating a little- then I might be the right massage therapist for you! Over recent years, I have studied Visceral Manipulation, and craniosacral therapy, so am beginning to incorporate this work into my sessions.  

I surf, work out, swim, play tennis, grew up horseback riding/ competing, have played water polo, practiced a little yoga, hiked, paddleboarded and more- so know what feels good to muscles that work hard... and have a good grasp of what movements/ activities cause issues and where.
