Over the years, I’ve developed a special interest in perinatal care, and I understand that pregnancy feels different for every body and requires an individualized approach. I’m here to support you from bump to birth and beyond!

Pregnancy brings some incredible changes to the body as it prepares for labour, and I’m here to help you navigate them. Massage therapy during this time can help ease tension in weight-bearing joints, support circulation, calm the nervous system, and relieve common discomforts like muscle cramping or breast tenderness — all while infusing a little self love in each session.

I’m happy to offer a pregnancy pillow specifically designed to allow you to be face down during your session. My number priority is for you to receive a comfortable, safe and effective treatment and I welcome any modification requests you may have to make to most of our time together.

Postpartum treatments are a wonderful way to reconnect with your body while feeling nurtured. Common goals include easing tension from labour and delivery, supporting recovery from extended periods of carrying your newborn, and promoting body awareness as you adjust to breastfeeding and life with your little one. I also have experience working with cesarean section scars, which can help reduce discomfort, improve mobility and address compensations that may develop along the way.

I provide care at any stage of pregnancy, and when life allows, I’m happy to offer guidance on stretching, strengthening and hydrotherapy exercises between treatments to help you maintain the benefits of manual therapy.

The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers.
