I quit an unfulfilling government job in Ottawa many years ago to attend the only massage school in Canada at the time, in Toronto. It was 1978. There were no spas, no wellness centers. The word wellness hadn't even been conjured yet and massage was - well frankly - thought of only in connection with the sex trade active in the 'parlors' along Yonge Street. On graduation, my one option was to start my own practice. So I did. There began the journey that continues to inspire and teach me. I love being a part of the changes clients make for the better. For some, their lives are set on a different course that they've longed for and - wow - do I love watching them go! I was fortunate early in my career to know a few brilliant teachers with whom I recognized the far reaching effects of various forms of touch therapies, beyond just the body, into all the layers and aspects of who we are. Since all expression manifests in the body, taking care of the body is the best channel to any change, healing or self-discovery. I'm always happy to answer questions and discuss your situation before coming to see me, to ensure we are a good fit. My classes, workshops, speaking and writing have consistently been about more than massage but massage has always been at the core of it all. Try it for yourself? You can book online or call me. I hope to see you soon.
