Practitioner
Student Holistic Nutritionist
I started in the health industry 20 years ago. My journey began as a first aid responder at sporting events. This quickly turned into a fascination in the body; how it works and recovers. I was lucky enough to be working with physiotherapists one-on-one at the age of 14 and this catapulted me into an early working career as a rehab therapist in many dif
ferent settings. I have been fortunate to work in teams alongside many health care professionals: Orthopedic surgeons, Chiropractors, Physiotherapists, Return to work Physicians, Nurses, Occupational Therapists, Kinesiologists, Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctors, Massage Therapists, Personal Trainers, Yoga Teachers, Nutritionists, Alternative Therapists, and more. I owned and managed a holistic health clinic with 22 therapists, collaborating with other health businesses in Calgary. I have had the privilege to travel and meet amazing practitioners in the health field, and this has given me a greater respect and understanding of the capabilities of the body. Through all of my experience and education, I have come to an understanding that I love to learn. The body has a lot to teach and I am willing to continue understanding how it reacts to the different stresses placed on it. Recently, I have shifted my education to what mind and body connection means. This starts with an understanding on how the body communicates with itself. I am now developing my education and experience into B.E.S.T, a gentle, energy healing approach to reducing stress, pain, and injury. It combines energy work, mind/body communication, and trigger pressure points in the body to support the body in healing itself. As one of my great teachers once said, the body will always heal from the inside out, so let's start to heal from there.
