Before I started massage school here in Halifax, I was living out of my 30L backpack & exploring many countries throughout South East Asia.

I often found myself back in Thailand, sometimes only for a few days while I waited for a Visa for another country and other times, for a few weeks to explore it’s many beautiful islands.

Since studying Thai Massage, with my teachers in Montreal, I have had a dream of returning to this beautiful country to further my education and connect deeper to the culture and medicines that have changed my life.

I am so grateful for this ancient practice, as it was the reason I wanted to study massage and bodywork. Offering this style of massage has connected my own mind body and spirit in a way I can’t explain.
I have the whole tripped planned out and will leave it up to timing and the universe to guide the way.
Posting this is a way to strengthen the dream and I hope someday soon I’ll be on a plane to make this a reality!

There was a time in my life where I didn’t know where I would be traveling the next day. But some how I always ended up exactly where I needed to be.
At this time in my life, I still love to give up control and go with the wind, but have become more in tune with knowing what I need.
I will be taking most of March off work to travel home to New Brunswick.
It’s been a while since I’ve sat with my mother drinking my morning coffee while she knits her latest project & mid month I will be welcoming my sisters first babe into the world. (Something I cannot miss)

For all my regular clients-> February is just around the corner! If you know you want to get in before I take leave- get your spot!
When you are given a chance to take pause- be grateful! I can’t wait to fill my cup up with the love of my family!

Peace & Joy

Yes, sometimes an elbow is needed when working out the tension & a deep pressure is applied.
But I have felt tension points melt away with the gentlest of touch. How magical and mysterious!

Whether doing hands on, barefoot or Thai massage- I love a full body approach.
Even when doing a focus treatment on the knee or shoulder I will take a moment to connect into the rest of the body.
Why? Because tension is tricky and the pathways between can be unclear.
A check in with the whole body activates your healing energies and when it flows steady you are able to release.
What is behind your tension?
