I graduated from the Massage Therapy program at Humber College, and have always had a fascination with the human body with all it has to offer. With many structures and systems working together it is truly amazing. I have been passionate about sports for the majority of my life and I love to be able to transfer that into my work.

Before I began my journey as an RMT, I spent two years solo travelling around the UK, Europe, New Zealand and Australia. I enjoy exploring new places and finding new restaurants to try.

I am thrilled to be a part of the Strive team and working toward helping clients reach their individual goals.
