Massage & Somatic Informed Coaching in Montreal — Summer Availability Now Open









About Me
Who I Am
​
I am a massage therapist, somatic‑informed coach, and holistic practitioner with 17 years of experience in natural and complementary therapies. My work blends bodywork, nervous system regulation, breathwork, and mindfulness to support deep restoration, emotional clarity, and embodied transformation.
​
My Journey
​
I arrived in Canada at the age of three as a first‑generation immigrant, growing up in the quiet resilience of transition, adaptation, and rebuilding a sense of home. These early experiences shaped my sensitivity to the body, belonging, and the subtle ways we carry our stories within us.
​
Much of my work is informed by my own healing path. My experiences with depression, anxiety, ADHD, chronic pain, and the transition into menopause have been some of my greatest teachers — guiding me toward embodiment, nervous system awareness, and the practices I now share with others. These lived experiences shape the grounded, compassionate way I hold space for clients.
​
Before entering the world of holistic therapies, I completed a Bachelor’s degree in Leisure Sciences at Concordia University and began my career as an event coordinator. Even then, I was drawn to community, wellbeing, and creating meaningful human experiences — threads that continue to weave through my work today.
​
Seventeen years ago, I was introduced to holistic and natural therapies, a path that reshaped my understanding of the body and inspired me to pursue massage therapy. My curiosity led me to explore breathwork, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and a wide range of integrative practices that now inform my approach.
​
My Training & Approach
​
To support lasting change through embodied awareness, I completed two coaching programs accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). While my training was not somatic‑specific, my coaching is deeply somatic‑informed. I guide clients back to the wisdom of their bodies, sensations, breath, and inner landscape to support clarity, regulation, and self‑reflection.
My approach integrates:
-
Massage therapy
-
Somatic‑informed coaching
-
Nervous system regulation
-
Breathwork
-
Mindfulness
-
Embodiment practices
This combination allows clients to reconnect with their bodies, shift emotional and physical patterns, and cultivate a deeper sense of presence.

​
My Values
​
I am passionate about the intelligence of the human mind, body, and spirit. I believe in the simplicity of mindful movement, breath, sensation, and intentional awareness as pathways to greater potential.
​
A central part of my work is supporting personal empowerment — helping clients reconnect with their inner authority, their body’s wisdom, and their capacity to make choices that support their wellbeing. I help guide people toward greater self‑trust, clarity, and embodied confidence so they can navigate life with more agency and ease.
​
My work is rooted in:
-
Authenticity
-
Presence
-
Compassion
-
Curiosity
-
Embodied wisdom

My Coaching Philosophy
​

​
Community Involvement
​
I stay connected to my community by offering hands‑on adjustments in restorative yin yoga classes and volunteering as a guide and mentor for the Canadian Massage Championship and the Canadian Thai Massage Eastern Championship , happening October 13-15 2026 in Montreal. She will be participating in the Routes to Roots Culture camp the last week-end of August 2026, an event that celebrates embodiment, culture, and community connection
​
These roles allow me to share my knowledge, support events close to my heart, and stay engaged with the evolving field of bodywork and somatics.

I believe we always arrive where we’re meant to be—led by curiosity, healing, and the quiet pull of the soul. My journey has been shaped by a longing to self‑heal and a deep fascination with how mind, body, and spirit intertwine. I’ve gathered many titles—massage therapist, breathwork facilitator, naturotherapist—but I mostly identify as a free spirit with an affinity for human behavior.
Rumi said, “We are all mirrors of each other.” I hold space for that reflection—meeting each person as they are, and helping them see the part of themselves ready to emerge. Healing is not separate. It’s a web of heart, body, and soul done in connection through feeling, witnessing and being witnessed while gathering the tools for a desired now and more aligned tomorrow. Let’s walk each other home.
A Holistic Process
Years ago, I graduated as a Swedish massage therapist, unaware that aiding clients in alleviating pain and finding grounding would become my passion. Moreso my journey evolved from spa to a deeper exploration of the body's interconnectedness through various modalities, including Swedish massage, shiatsu, thai and craniosacral therapy. I'm committed to fostering self-awareness and empowerment in my clients by identifying core challenges and guiding them through their personal journeys. With training in coaching and a focus on mindful awareness and nervous system regulation, I personalize plans to help clients achieve their self-actualization goals. I invite you to book a free 45-minute Exploring Clarity call on the sessions page. Limit to 1 per customer

My Approach
Educator
If you have ever come for a visit, you know that my goal is to give you tools and ressources that help explain sensations and situations so you understand what is going on in your body and heart in hopes of making enlightened choices and gain insight through your experience. The body is an incredible piece of machinery. So many systems and subsystems work together for us to stay balanced in body and mind. As we all learn differently, I use touch, movement, visuals, videos, music, podcasts, somatic practices, mindfulness exercises, books, podcasts and many other references to make sure that you learn the best way for you to take the lead to your well being.
