Thanks for all your support and interest in RMT treatments with me. Online booking is open to current patients for the rest of 2020. I am not accepting new patients at this time but will be again in January 2021 :)

Thank you to @knot.and.feather.creative for this gorgeous plant ladder! I absolutely love it. It makes my massage room even more welcoming and beautiful. #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantladder #myfriendsareawesome

I don’t know where I first saw this quote but I think it’s a great reminder. #minimalism #simplicity #stressreduction #vancouverhealth

It's true! Massage Therapy is part of Phase 2 of BC's Restart Plan! While the plan starts on May 19th, that does not mean businesses can automatically reopen that day.... for RMT's, the BC government must approve a plan submitted to them by our governing organization (The CMTBC). This will help ensure the safety and peace of mind of everyone :)

1 year ago today I opened my own massage studio! Thank you to everyone that has supported me from the start. Ive missed massaging in this healing space the past few months but Ive been watering the plants and Im excited to open again when the time is right. #massagetherapy #healthyliving #safetyfirst

This little nugget is wedged between 2 quilts made by my mom. Her hobbies include napping, shedding on things, and eating hair elastics. I love her to bits. #quarantinecats #isolationbuddy

It takes a village 2019 was a banner year for me. Life is full of curveballs and I know a year like this is so rare. It seems right to share my appreciation and give it a social media shout out Adventures and excellent conversations with family and friends, opening my own massage studio (with help from sooo many wonderful and supportive people), performing and watching live performances of all types, and experiencing good health (myself and those I love.)... My goal for the year was to get out of my comfort zone and that I did. Polar bear swimming, tap dancing, fishing with @steve_moore77 , opening a business, hiking with people way more sporty than myself, driving the coquihalla... I am a very lucky person. Thank you #2019recap #yvrlife #yearinreview

I kept a New Years resolution!! I decided to run a marathons worth of races for 2019. Here is the swag. 5 5ks & 2 10ks. #yvrrunning #vancouverrunners #tryevents #runnersofinsta

Meet the plants of my massage studio! This is Daenerys Targaryen named so for its cascading vines. This philodendron is strong and persistent. Thanks for the plant V & J Plant Shop! #breakthewheel #granvilleislandmarket #plantmom #pothos... #vancouvermassagetherapy See more

Meet the plants of my massage studio! This is Lord Tyrion, named so as it has lasted much longer than I originally anticipated. It was a gift from a client and I was worried it would die due to my lack of a green thumb. But no- going strong! I have no idea what the actual plant name is though. #plantmom #vancouvermassage #gameofthrones

Tis true! If youre in need of a little self care time, this could be your opportunity. #massagetherapy #vancouverwellness #yvrhealth #selfcare

After being very sick last weekend, ( repeat) I felt well enough to do my first 10k in a few years! Such a fun and beautiful course. I highly recommend the Ultra Night Run. Plus there was beer and burritos at the finish line Thanks to the peeps who helped me run this far without my foot going numb @kikibirdi @coastperformancerehab @marshaclarkermt @wendychenrmt And to @bettyb13 and @steve_moore77 for taking care of my last weekend ... #liveultra #ultranightrun #10k #yvrrunning #runnersofinstagram @ Stanley Park in Vancouver

Its a bit ridiculous how beautiful this province is. So grateful for great friends, great weather and my body for letting me do this uphill climb! (Shout our to the gondola for the ride down) #seatoskygondola #squamish #seatosummit #beautifulbc #shannonfalls #vancouverrmt @ Sea To Sky Gondola

I'm super excited to take this course in the Fall :) https://ericpurves.com//science-based-manual-and-movement/

To quote Nick Tumminello, unless youre dead or have major nerve damage/paralysis, no muscles in your body are off.

Posted @withrepost @broadwaychorus I joined in 2016. No matter what kind of day Im having, I always feel better after a Broadway Chorus meet up. Its an excellent group of people and we get to sing and dance together! What more could a person want? Favourite role hands down was in Deja Voodoo. It was set in the 80s so the costumes were spectacular and the story was so touching. Whats a fun fact about you? I dont know if this is a fun fact or a dark secret but... I... have a spoon collection. #castspotlight #broadwaychorus #thebandmaidstale #vancouvertheatre #communitytheatre #musicaltheatre See more

On the left: Stock photo expectations of Chia seed pudding. On the right: reality of Chia seed pudding. This proves how social media creates unrealistic expectations of how our lives should be. Yet it also drives home the importance of stirring the chia seeds as you prepare the pudding.

To date, all the research has shown that there is no relationship between any postural factors, including the shape and curves of the back, asymmetries and even the way we use our spine, to that of developing back pain." https://www.theguardian.com//are-you-sitting-comfortably-t
