2010 I received my RMT in Calgary. I learned techniques such as Deep Tissue and Active Release and proceeded to massage for the next three years.

2013 I received my certification in Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) from Denver, Colorado. From Strengthening, injury prevention, injury recovery, pre/post surgery, post joint replacement's, and any other category involving your muscular system. I have had the privilege of working with people from all kinds of backgrounds in exercise like athletes, office workers, gym training, to stay at home mothers. I am grateful for all the skills I have learned, I can help people improve their quality of life so they can get back to enjoying the things they love
