Today is my last day at Sorespots... the summer has flown by so fast. I will be around for a week -ish before I get on the road, to relax with family. I'm so glad I finally got to do this.

This has been my space the last few months.
So grateful to Sore Spots Massage Therapy for having me back again. 💕

Hard to believe I've been home working in NS for a month and a half already - still the rest of the month to go. I feel like I've both been here so long, and yet the time is flying by. Trying not to think about how fast September will go.

Working Mon-Thurs 12-8pm at Sorespots until the end of the month. If you're looking for results oriented massage therapy, to get to the root cause of an issue and are seeking lasting change... massage is more than just a potential time out.

You don't have to choose between relaxation or 'working on something'... it can be both.

Hey everyone!
Been in town for a week today. Settling in being home in Dartmouth and have had a couple shifts at Sorespots already, getting reacquainted with the flow of the clinic. So good to be back.

If you're looking for a massage this summer, Sorespots has some amazing practitioners and services, in an established location downtown Dartmouth.

Choose from hot stone, cupping, and barefoot massages to our classic hands-on signature deep tissue massage - all creatively delivered to address your sore spots.

With the support of my current Calgary location, am heading to Nova Scotia for the summer, will be arriving early July. Getting on the road this week!

So grateful and excited to finally achieve this long standing goal to be home for the summer, huge humble thanks to Sorespots for welcoming me back.

My approach is client-centered and trauma-informed. I create a space where you are in control of your session — every step is guided by your comfort, preferences, and consent. Whether you're looking for relaxation, pain relief, or therapeutic treatment, you’ll be supported in a way that feels safe and empowering to you.

Your comfort and sense of safety are my priority. In our sessions, you’re always welcome to:

Keep on as much clothing as you wish — treatment can be adapted to what feels right for you.

Pause, stop, or change any part of the treatment at any time.

Communicate your preferences about pressure, areas of focus, and draping — your voice guides the session."

If you ever feel uncertain or have special requests, I’m happy to discuss them before we begin.

Thanks for having me ISAW Podcast. This was a huge step out of my comfort zone and I hope that despite my nervousness I was able to share some helpful information about the body, massage therapy and self care.

Did I miss anything you'd like to know?

Had an amazing time home in Nova Scotia this past summer. I took an unprecedented 2 months off... drove across Canada from Calgary to head out on holidays. Arrived late July.

For the first time ever, crossed over into the US from Quebec to go to Maine for a course with Tom Myers of Anatomy Trains. (Actually ended up taking the Anatomy Trains Structure In Function course on the way back in September - which was AWESOME)

Worked at Sorespots Dartmouth for the month of August, which felt amazing and so grateful for the Sorespots crew for making me feel so welcome - so good to offer massage therapy in NS which I had never officially done before - it allowed me to double my time home for 6 weeks, instead of 3. The goal is to eventually be home for the summer... we shall see!

I have been evolving my services to also include those that can be done via distance online... so even if I'm not in NS might still be able to work together on your goals. DM me for more info on services.

Back in Calgary since mid-September just working away and enjoying a beautiful fall. Be well everyone!
