Work With Me
Through heart-centered presence, I hold space for individuals in situations of chronic illness who are ready to re-evaluate their relationship to health and change. In collaboration with my clients, I help each person on their own path towards wholeness.
I am currently not accepting any new clients. To be notified when availability opens up, sign up via email here:
Welcome to a space of healing and personal discovery. In these 1-on-1 sessions, I offer my presence as a supportive companion on your journey toward personal healing.
Individual sessions focus on bodywork for deep rest, connection, release and renewal. They can respond to specific needs or requests, or simply be a place to receive a safe, caring and intuitive touch.
After 20 years of chronic auto-immunity, with the help of healers encountered along the way, I found my path to remission. You can read more about my journey here. I believe healing is perpetual, a daily practice. In my work I use Tuina, a therapeutic form of massage deeply rooted in the principles of Chinese medicine, and Craniosacral Therapy, soft touch aimed at stress reduction and nervous system regulation, to help individuals find their own path.
I am a dedicated Tuina practitioner committed to holistic health. In addition to being a massage therapist, I am continuing my studies in Chinese medicine and gongfu at the Montreal Gongfu Research Centre.
My background as a dancer and somatics facilitator informs my approach to bodywork therapy and the sense of presence I bring to each session. As a certified massage therapist, I combine Tuina techniques with CranioSacral Therapy in an approach inspired by Eugene Gendlin's Focusing, to promote holistic harmony.
Our time together is centered around you—your experiences, your insights, and your path to wellness.
Each consultation is unique and may include:
- Focused, compassionate listening to understand your perspective and experiences.
- Thoughtful questions that encourage reflection and self-awareness.
- Sharing of insights and suggestions drawn from my research and personal experiences.
- Somatic coaching techniques that support embodiment and connection to your physical presence.
It's important to note that I join you as a fellow traveler on the path of healing, not as an expert. You are the authority on your own life, and this is not a formal client-therapist relationship. Our sessions are collaborative, and we will decide together how to best use our time to support your healing goals.
If you seek a compassionate ear and a supportive heart to accompany you as you navigate your healing, I invite you to book a session. Together, we can cultivate a space for growth and healing.
