I am beginning to work again! As I ease through this transition I will be taking appointments by request so that I can work around my baby’s schedule and determine the most sought after appointment times. Please reach out if you’re looking for a session and we can work out the when together. I am so looking forward to seeing you again!
*Note: online booking will not be available for the time being.
Talk soon ♥️

I am finally ready and able to share my big news! It is my honour to introduce Maverick who came earth-side yesterday and blessed my little family to completion.

Accidentally (but perfectly) free-birthed as things escalated much quicker than anticipated and neither dad nor our wonderful midwife made it in time, he was born at home with and by my side. I couldn’t be happier or more in love.

If you’ve been meaning to book an appointment or wanting to work with me now is the time to get started!

The holidays are approaching quickly and for many that means massage/osteopath benefits reset and for all of us that means balancing winter stresses and many celebrations. There’s just enough time left to optimize your mind and body or to address any lingering maladies before rolling into the most wonderful time of the year!

I will be closing my books on December 15th for a few weeks to take some much needed time off with my family (IYKYK) so don’t wait to get those appointments booked!

Seven years after being gifted Healing Ancient Wounds by John Barnes I have finally landed in a space where I got to both witness and participate in the art of myofascial unwinding during my CranioSacral 2 training this past weekend and I was not disappointed. My mind is blown and my words are limited but feels like my whole career and obsession with fascia has been leading me here and I can’t wait till May when I get to learn more.

Big thank you to Steve Heinrich PT and Seminars for Health as well as my fellow students for such an excellent experience- for the safety I felt and the vulnerability I was trusted to hold, it truly is an incredible honour.

Had another fantastic CST II class in Whitefish, Montana this weekend sponsored by Seminars for Health - Such a great group of students! Looking forward to the rest of the teaching schedule for 2024 and spring 2025!

📣 The news many of you have been waiting for! 📣

I am slowly crawling out of the hole I’ve been hiding in and am getting the outside-of-the-treatment-room business I’ve been neglecting taken care of! Always humbly grateful for your understanding that although I have earned merit as a bodyworker, I have next to no business management skills..

With that said, the actual news:

MOT sessions can now be submitted to most insurance companies! Direct billing is available already for some and pending approval for others. This is great news for those with health benefits as you may now have twice the access to treatment! Check your policy to see if you’ve got osteopathy benefits to utilize!

I took a trip down to Montana this week to learn how to do weird stuff with heads with the amazing Steve Heinrich PT.

We laughed, we cried, we shared, we learned, we grew. The profound healing and connection that unfolds naturally when I find myself in the right learning environments never ceases to amaze me and this one was one of my favourites so far.

Taking CranioSacral Therapy 1 has greatly deepened my understanding and passion for this incredible modality and I can’t wait till the end of September when I can return for level two!

After being the best boy for his mom’s whole treatment, Hershey decided it was his turn for some bodywork! How could I say no to that sweet face?

The response from you all has been huge and I am almost at capacity, thank you!! Being able to practice so much has really helped to solidify my confidence with this work and I feel great about my upcoming final practical exam, I can’t say how impactful of a gift this experience has been for me already. Now it’s time to study up for the final theory exam!

Today I am taking a moment to reflect on the past year and I hope you guys aren’t sick of my sappy posts and even sappier captions yet cause this is gonna be another one of those.

Today marks one year since the universe ripped off the proverbial bandaid and forcibly YEETED me onto my own two feet, onto the path to my highest good, into a more abundant timeline, and away from those who would try to dismantle me out of what I can only assume was fear and intimidation. I stepped forward with nothing but my reputation in my community and blind faith known only by The Fool.

And it was more than enough.

A year later I can hardly begin to take account of the blessings I have received. From the initial loyalty and support from my clients as I transitioned to working from home rippling all the way outwards to the opportunity I had last summer to spend more time with my kids than I’ve ever been able to before and everything in between, my life is blooming and showing no signs of stopping or slowing down any time soon.

After a lifetime of challenging consequences, it’s a uniquely rewarding experience to be able to sit back and look around at all that has grown from my own integral actions and good choices. Of course I couldn’t have gotten here without the immense support I have received and continue to receive from my people, but today I make a point of acknowledging that I am one of my people too and I owe myself some gratitude too. I feel like I finally have the skills and tools I need in order to do my work and live out my purpose in this lifetime. To make my difference. And in the midst of all of this, the fact that this point in my life is another beginning and there’s oodles more space for me to grow into absolutely blows my mind. Bring it all on.

The universe is on my side. ♥️

There’s only two months left until I graduate and I am so excited! I have officially completed the course content and will be spending the remainder of my time in the Manual Osteopathic Therapy program preparing for my final exams and presentation.

I have grown so much this year and I couldn’t have done it without you! Thank you for patiently letting me practice and graciously letting me stumble as I have journeyed through this latest learning adventure.

As a way to both share my gratitude with my community and get lots of practice in before finals, I am offering an additional 33% discount on Manual Osteopathic Therapy appointments scheduled between now and March 15th!

This is an amazing opportunity whether you know and love manual osteopathic therapy, are curious to try it, or have no idea what I’m talking about! Hit the book now button in my bio to grab your spot and send me a comment or message if you have any questions.

These sessions will go up to the industry standard after I graduate, if you act now there’s more than enough time to make significant improvements to your wellness at a fraction of the typical cost.

Our initial session together will include an intake interview, full body structural and functional assessment, treatment plan, and first treatment. These sessions are 90-minutes.

Follow up appointments may vary in length depending on the treatment plan and which protocols are to be utilized at each session.

Manual Osteopathic Therapy sessions are $50 and can be submitted under your massage benefits while I am still a student and as always, direct billing is available.

I can’t wait to get started!
