As a kid, I never would have thought that I’d wind up doing massage for so many years!  I was an intellectual and I thought that being a librarian would be a good fit.  Due to life experiences, I was introduced to the world of massage and, after doing a degree in English Literature and Philosophy at the University of Victoria, I decided to get trained at Sutherland-Chan in Toronto.

I’ve been thinking recently about the experience of seeing someone who’s been doing something for decades.  It results in fine-tuning of the environment – customizing it with light, temperature etc. and also customizing the massage according to each client’s needs for depth of pressure, pace of the massage etc.  I like to think that I bring my training in communication and coaching to each session as well.  Establishing trust with my clients is very important and I do my best!

 I like to think that I offer a more intuitive, almost meditative treatment, which my regulars love.  For people who are looking for deep, treatment-oriented massage, what I do probably won’t be a good fit.
