my story
I first discovered complementary and alternative healing therapies while searching for ways to ease my own anxiety-related symptoms. In 2011, I fell in love with reflexology, and what began as personal exploration became a calling.
Over the years, my dedication to holistic wellness has guided me to earn a wide range of credentials, including:
- Registered Canadian Reflexology Teacher®
- Registered Canadian Reflexology Therapist®
- Registered Clinical Aromatherapy Teacher
- Certified Aromatherapy Health Professional®
- Level 3 NAHA Certified Clinical Aromatherapist®
- Reiki Master
- Certified Culinary Nutrition Expert
I currently serve as President of the Canadian Federation of Aromatherapists and as a Treasurer and Membership Director of the Reflexology Association of Canada – Ontario Chapter.
When I'm not practicing or teaching, you'll find me kayaking, hiking, reading, and spending time with family and friends, including my rescue dogs Kona and Kaila.
The Scented Thread on Substack
Alongside my teaching and practice, I write The Scented Thread -- a gentle, seasonal space for essays, sensory prompts, and slow practice. Each issue offers seasonal reflections and sensory pauses to help you cultivate balance and connection.
