People ask me this all the time and I don’t have an answer, other than it’s where I was meant to be...
I began my massage therapy career training at around the age of three! My dad, being a wise man, had me walking on his back as soon as I could balance and then upgraded his ‘treatments’ to include techniques employed by my brother on his left side and myself on his right side; ‘scratching’, ‘finger twists’, ‘karate chops’ to name a few. The “working on Dad’s back” times were interconnected to touch play with my dad and usually ended with us two kids being tickled into laughing hysterics! The dog often got in on the action as well. To this day, my dad is my easiest and most favourite person to treat. He and my mum have always valued manual therapy for both injury and injury prevention, including chiropractics and physical therapy.
So, while it took me a while to take the plunge, pay the money and invest the time, I finally began my schooling at the West Coast College of Massage Therapy (WCCMT) in September 2003. After 3000 hours, countless sleepless nights, a lot of laughs, way too many Starbucks visits and maybe a breakdown or two, I graduated the program in December 2005. After successfully completing my provincial registration, I began working with the amazing Robert Libbey, RMT and remained his “work wife” for a fantastic 12 years. In 2008, he merged his massage therapy practice with physiotherapy, chiropractics and naturopathic medicine. From that point on, I have continuously integrated a multi-modality approach to all of my patient treatment plans.
