I have been drawn to healthcare for as long as I can remember. I began my career in medicine, working as a general practitioner and later specializing in pediatrics. After moving to Canada, I spent seven years as a research associate in virology at Western University, working in vaccine research and development. Although I valued the science, I realized how much I missed the personal connection of working directly with patients.
My longstanding interest in anatomy, muscles, joints, and rehabilitation eventually led me to Massage Therapy at Fanshawe College. During my training, I discovered how meaningful I find one-on-one patient care—listening to someone’s concerns, working toward their goals, and seeing them feel more comfortable or move more freely.
I enjoy general and therapeutic massage, with interests in rehabilitation, post-surgical care, pediatric massage, sport massage and women’s health. I am especially interested in supporting people following breast cancer and breast surgery, as well as fascial and lymphatic approaches, including lymphedema care.
Most importantly, I believe that every person comes with their own story, needs, and goals. I want my patients to feel listened to and comfortable, and I take the time to understand what they need from their treatment. For me, massage therapy is not simply about treating muscles—it is about caring for the person as a whole.
