Welcome. I am glad that you are here.
I offer registered massage therapy for all ages and stages of life at my home clinic, located near the intersection of Lerwick Road and Malahat Drive in Courtenay. Mobile appointments, within the municipalities of Courtenay and Comox, are also available for those who find it challenging to leave home for health care appointments.
New families are welcome. Please call 250-207-9217 to book an appointment. Information about appointments, scheduling, and fees can be found here.
about my practice
I’m here to support you as you recover and maintain your well-being, so that you can get back to doing, and continue doing, the things that you love. I have a general practice and all are welcome, and my preferred area of practice is working with people who live with long-term physical or mental health conditions. I also thoroughly enjoy supporting families as they move through pregnancy, the postpartum period, and the months and years that follow.
As an RMT (registered massage therapist) in BC, I am trained to use hands-on methods to assess and treat soft tissues and joints. In brief terms, my scope of practice includes minimizing the impact of unpleasant sensations such as pain, maximizing physical function, and promoting health and well-being.
Please expect a discussion and some form of hands-on assessment at every appointment; the duration of these depends on your needs. They allow us to ensure safe and effective massages, to set treatment goals together, and to monitor the impact your appointments are having on your day-to-day life.
My massages are centred around moderate pressure soft tissue techniques using a small amount of oil or lotion. I include lighter or deeper pressure techniques, techniques without oil or lotion, joint-focused techniques and movement-based techniques as appropriate for you. This allows me to address a variety of tissue types such as skin, muscle, connective tissues, nerves, etc. It also allows me to address a variety of body systems in addition to the musculoskeletal system, such as the nervous system, circulatory system, lymphatic system, etc.
I am always willing to offer simple options for home care so that you have more tools to help yourself feel better.
about me
I graduated from Victoria BC’s West Coast College of Massage Therapy (WCCMT) in 2018. I worked in Victoria for several years and I also taught for just over three years at WCCMT, instructing orthopaedic assessment classes and spending time as a teaching assistant and clinical practicum supervisor. In 2025 I focused all my energy on my family and on relocating to the beautiful Comox Valley. In 2026 I look forward to practising again. (Click here to confirm my registration with the College of Complementary Health Professionals of British Columbia (CCHPBC).)
In previous chapters of my life, I spent many years competing at a high level of rhythmic gymnastics, performing Ukrainian folk dance and contemporary theatre dance on stages big and small, and practising as well as teaching postural yoga. In this chapter, you will most often find me enjoying busy days with my two children and exploring the Comox Valley with family and friends. I acknowledge with gratitude that I now live, work and play on the traditional lands of the K’ómoks First Nation.
