I began my RMT journey at Ability 13 years ago, graduating from Everest college. I had the privilege to learn from fantastic RMTs with different treatment and clinic styles. My mentors here have guided me well! Alot is from real life. You! …and navigating my pirate ship as a solo mom to 3 young boys!! If you know.. you know!! 😂

My treatment style is Therapeutic Relaxation. Your body has its own unique tune, which noone uses the same, everyone has a different method to madness! Following the lines of stress; with a slow, rhythmical application of techniques to activate and release the build up of adhesive trigger points, a circulatory flush to wake even inert tissues, and a mental break from your dependent responsibilities for even a short while.

It’s a beautiful trifecta.

It is not a light and fluffy pampering, but a break from your reality with a strong, yet gentle focus on how you can feel your best, and optimize your body.

COVID has been a learning curve, now post pandemic, we all have a story. You are heard and so inspirational!

Treat yourself! You deserve it!
