As a past nurse, I am passionate about helping others. I achieved my certification at the West Coast College of Massage Therapy & Hydrotherapy in Victoria, BC.
 

My therapeutic touch incorporates Swedish Massage, Deep tissue, Myofascial Release Techniques with different types of pressure but may also provide a gentle and relaxing treatment if preferred. I’m also well versed in pregnancy & paediatric massage.  As a 

lifelong learner with an innate curiosity about the mind-body connection, learning about the nervous system and its direct correlation to our pain perception was very insightful. As a result, I aim to calm the nervous system in every treatment to facilitate the balance needed for healing the body.

I am here to provide support to you, the patient, and it starts with a great experience. My hope is to create a warm and welcoming environment where you can feel comfortable enough to heal. I try to help by personalizing treatment plans - taking into account symptoms, medical history and anything else you might find important.

I look forward to furthering my knowledge and incorporating mindfulness into my practice to help you meet your wellness goals. I hope to provide you with some well-deserved relaxation, healing, and rejuvenation.

Calgary Massage & Osteopathy Healing is personal—not prescriptive.

With a decade of experience as a registered nurse in China, I witnessed how deeply people benefit from support that goes beyond medical treatment. After moving to Canada, this inspired me to become a

Registered Massage Therapist, with a focus on relaxation, balance, and whole-person wellness. I strive to support clients in feeling their best through every stage of life.

I am a fully insured Registered Massage Therapist, trained to the highest standard accredited by the Canadian Massage Therapy Council for Accreditation (CMTCA). Over time, I have developed skills in a wide

range of massage techniques — including Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue, Acupressure, RAPID Neurofascial Reset, Hot Stone Therapy, Cupping, Joint Mobilization, and Aromatherapy — which allows me to provide safe, effective, and personalized treatments for every client.

In every treatment, my goal is to create a therapeutic and caring environment where stress can soften, balance can be restored, and the body’s natural healing potential can be awakened — so that clients can leave with a greater sense of ease, balance, and well-being.

I have always held a strong passion for supporting others to achieve their health and wellness goals. CranioSacral therapy is the foundation on which I work with my clients to access their own healing resources. Prior to becoming a Registered Massage therapist, I have worked in the counselling profession – helping others to heal from emotional and physical traumas (sexual abuse, domestic violence, and addiction). I am a graduate of the Foothills College of Massage Therapy, the Northwestern College of Orthopaedic Massage, and have been in practice since 2001.

I am an Upledger Certified CranioSacral Therapist with Advanced level training and have specialized training for Pediatrics, Pregnancy, Obstetrics, and Birthing. My diverse areas of practice include working with clients with chronic pain concerns, post-MVA, Trauma, TMJ dysfunction, and post-concussion recovery. I have additional training in Myofascial Release, SomatoEmotional Release, Reiki, and Visceral Manipulation.

In addition, I am a Registered Nurse with experience in Labor and Delivery, Postpartum, Psychiatry, and Peri-Operative Nursing. In 2023, I completed my diploma in Manual Osteopathy as well. I bring my blended background and experience to treatment sessions, and I strive to facilitate clients attain mind, body, and emotional balance. I continue to take ongoing training in CranioSacral Therapy and diverse body-centred therapies to grow and expand my offerings to clients of all ages and backgrounds. In my spare time I enjoy Qi Gong, reading, travelling, and spending time with my family and pets.
