WELCOME
As a former competitive athlete, I am determined to improve health and mobility. Over the past 25 years I have worked in health & wellness: personal training, teaching yoga, pilates, meditation, and now Manual Osteopathy and Massage therapy. I have lived in Asia and worked with Ayurvedic practitioners, Shamans, and Yogis. I studied Thai Massage and Reflexology. In 2006, I was introduced to Vipassana Meditation and have continued a daily meditation practice since then. I have enjoyed working in the community, leading workshops, and currently have a home based clinical practice called Thousand Islands Osteopathy.

​MOVEMENT

Throughout life, movement has always felt like medicine. I have competed in a variety of sport and loved learning about biomechanics, physiology, and neurology. Later in life I gravitated to cycling. After 6 months of sport-specific cycling training and my first International event, I met National Standards cycling at 38.5k/hour for the 25km Time Trial). Due to injuries my para-cycling career was cut short but I am grateful for the experience and the coaches and athletes I met along the way. While training at an elite level, I learned first hand about the importance of food as fuel for performance, and the importance of recovery and sport psychology for a competitive edge.

​

My goal as therapist is to help patients identify sensations in the body from a neutral place and uncover deeper sensations, more motion, and whole body health.
