Upon completion of massage therapy school in 2005 I knew that my learning had just begun. I have actively advanced my knowledge and skill set as a manual therapist. The more I learn, the more I realize that the pursuit of knowledge is continuous.
Over the last five years I have explored the part of me that desires to share the wisdom and teachings that I have worked so hard to implement in the role of a teacher. I truly believe that teaching has been one of my biggest catalysts for learning and inspiration.
I am currently instructing the Cranial Sacral therapy course for the students in their last year of training to become a RMT. These intensives are hosted at the Vancouver College of Massage Therapy (VCMT) and Langara College. I also have past experience supervising in the student clinic at VCMT and as a teachers assistant instructing continuing education for RMT's.
Below is a summary of courses I have taken. I also take part in monthly study groups and learn from some of the leading practitioners in the field of manual therapy.
