all of you is welcome here

trauma-sensitive, nervous-system-focused manual therapy for all your body’s aches, pains, and stressors

a quiet, private retreat to focus on your individual rest and recovery in residential downtown Barrie, ON

I envisioned my space years ago when I first ditched corporate culture for a healing and helping profession - a place to erase outside distractions, allowing us to co-create a safe, therapeutic space for your treatment. a retreat of the mind, body, and entire self. regardless of what’s going on in the world you can leave it at the door for an hour and tend to your inner self.

every body deserves trauma-informed care

trauma is everywhere. from major life incidents to chronic stressors to world societal events: you deserve a place that focuses on trauma-reducing care, avoiding retraumatization, and teaching your body safety so you can rest.

VALUES

TRAUMA SENSITIVE

whether from burnout, chronic stress, anxiety, or PTSD, recovery is a long and complex road. I’m here to help work with you to alleviate the physical symptoms of whatever you’re going through and make life even 1% easier.

BLENDED

I balance many tools, from intense nerdy neuroanatomy to traditional treatments that have been showing results for millennia. you are an individual, and I aim to find what works for you.

UNIQUE

there is no ranking in my practice. your wants and needs will vary day-to-day. your body is worthy. your emotions are valid. you are the expert in your life, and all sensations and experiences are personal. this is a judgement free space.

HUMBLE

I believe strongly that we should all have expanded circles of holistic care. I support seeing multiple manual therapists (including other RMTs), I support taking medication, I support a meditation practice, and I will refer out to professionals outside my scope of practice.

please note: manual treatments can be incredibly beneficial adjunct therapies but are not a substitute for medical and psychological care.

SAFE

I prioritize the safety and rest of all my patients in a gender affirming, body positive, mental health focused and stigma free space. come exactly as you are, right now. I will follow your lead. you always have choice, agency, and autonomy in my practice.
