“Rather, transformation happens from the ground up: when we have a new experience of ourselves and hold our attention on it long enough for it to sink.”
— Hillary L. McBride

I know how impactful a massage treatment can be, not only for our body, but for our overall well being. My belief is that much of what massage does is present the body with a different sensation — perhaps ease where there usually is tension, warmth where there is usually pain, or a full breath where it usually feels shallow— and this new sensation sticks. This might give us a new pathway of feeling to experience, which may be beneficial for our injury recovery, our experience with chronic pain, or helping us shift into the present moment of our bodies.

My intention is to always be curious and adaptable in my approach, and to find the treatment that bests suits you. This means I recognize that needs and goals may change from treatment to treatment. Creating space for clients to arrive exactly as they are and feel safe is my utmost priority.

I am deeply grateful for the work I do, and to be able to provide a space for people to care for their own wellness. As co-owner of The Ucluelet Wellness Collective, fostering space for self care is a daily routine, and I am so thankful for the opportunity to continue on the legacy of community driven wellness for our local communities.

If you cannot find a treatment time that works for you but are interested in working with me, please contact me via email as I may be able to find a treatment time that is unavailable online.
