Providing You with Pain Free Therapeutic Solutions
MY TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY
I am a Registered Massage Therapist practicing in Vernon, British Columbia.
I believe that the body has an innate ability to self-heal, and I allow this philosophy to guide my practice. I provide each of my patients with a thorough assessment, while listening and taking note of their body’s own priorities for change.
​
I work with a variety of gentle yet effective techniques working with muscle, bone & joint mechanics, visceral mobility and fascial function. I treat patients of all ages and in all stages of life.
My treatments are focused on restoring physiological relationships with respect to the nervous system using pain-free treatment modalities.

TREATMENT TECHNIQUES
Visceral Manipulation
​
This gentle technique assesses the structural relationships between the viscera (our organs) and their connective tissue attachments to the muscles and bones. Adhesions can form in the connective tissue around the organs for a number of reasons such as after trauma, illness or post-surgery. The effects of the visceral manipulation treatment methods are often quite systemic, affecting many areas of bodily function.
​
Muscle Energy Technique
Muscle energy technique is based in osteopathic theory, which relies on the principle of reciprocal inhibition. This theory states that when you contract the muscles on one side of a joint, the muscles on the other side automatically relax. With this technique, gentle muscular contraction will be used in a specific position against a gentle resisting force applied by the therapist. This technique is used to increase range of motion and functional ability of various joints in the body.
​
Craniosacral Therapy
​
Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the function of the craniosacral system. This system is comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid which surround the brain and spinal cord. By enhancing the natural rhythm of this system, these treatment techniques have profound effects on the whole body.
