Other modalities I’m certified and utilize in my practice.

Licensed Holistic Practitioner - Thai Massage

Functional Bodywork (formerly called Active Fascial Release™) Practitioner

Functional Bodywork (formerly called Active Fascial Release™) Practitioner

Thai massage or Thai Yoga Massage is an ancient and dynamic bodywork therapy in which the practitioner skillfully places the client into a series of yoga-like postures and stretches. The body is compressed, pulled, stretched and rocked. The legs and feet of the practitioner can be used to position the body or limbs of the client. In other positions, hands fix the body, while the feet do the massaging. The client wears loose comfortable clothing and lies on a mat. There’s no use of oils or lotion. 


By restoring the flow of energy through the body, it can increase flexibility, range of motion, athletic performance, mental clarity and energy levels.  Most clients immediately feel more physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually balanced.  The nervous system, blood flow and relaxation response are all stimulated while simultaneously relaxing the mind and body.

Neuro-Movement practitioner

Fascia is a multidirectional connective tissue made partially of collagenous fibres which envelopes the body hence supports and gives us our shape. It plays an important role in health, wellbeing and mobility as it transforms mechanical forces throughout the body, communicates to our nervous system  and is a sensory organ. 

Neuro-Movement practitioner

Professional Fletcher Pilates® Teacher

Neuro-Movement practitioner

Our bodies are made out of sensors that have an amazing ability to absorb environmental information all around us. This information travels through our nervous system to the brain, where the information is prioritized, decisions are made and communicated back to the body’s mechanics. So, what happens when there are gaps in these sensory systems and the communication channels are not working efficiently? It can interfere with the bodies ability to react, focus, coordinate, balance and move efficiently. The dominant sensory systems (visual, vestibular and proprioception) work together to help the body move well. Neuro-movement will assess for gaps, apply tools and strategies to strengthen the three sensory input systems and improve your movement.
