* NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS*

I was raised in the Kootenays, and in my early twenties, moved to Vernon to complete my schooling at the ​Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy (OVCMT) in 2010. Right after graduating, I moved to Chilliwack, where I opened my very first clinic.

I spent five successful years living and running my business in Chilliwack, The Healing Oak, but I missed the Okanagan lifestyle. I sold my clinic and moved back to Vernon in 2016.

In January 2018, my dear friend and colleague Josie Teitge, moved to Vernon, and we found the perfect space to open a business together: our beautiful clinic, Okanagan Sage.

I have a son, daughter and a golden retriever that keep me very busy when I am not in the clinic, as well as running my home based clinic from Falkland, BC.

I love to work with a wide variety of people with a tendency to gravitate towards pre and post natal clients as well as infants. I truly love what I do and feel so grateful to be able to work in such great communities.
