Medical Conditions That I've Treated As A Registered Massage Therapist

As an RMT in British Columbia for over thirty years, I have treated clients with a wide variety of medical conditions and experiencing widely divergent symptoms. Clients regularly express experiencing a reduction in their symptoms, improvement in their overall well-being and functioning, and a higher quality of life as a result of my treatments.

In my experience, the keys to affecting positive change are being inquisitive, remaining open-minded, believing in oneself, and doing the work. I have been fortunate to have clients who are just as committed to their success as I am and who have paid me the greatest compliment by allowing me to play a part in their journey.

Although I have experience treating clients who had or were recovering from the conditions/procedures listed below, I have the training and practical experience to help so many others. If your situation isn't represented below, there's still hope. Please reach out to me so we can discuss how Craniosacral Therapy, Neurovascular Release, Somatic Therapy, Structural Integration, and Visceral Manipulation might help you get your life back and/or unlock your full potential.
