Integrity. Compassion. Results.

I am a licensed Acupuncturist and Manual Osteopath.

I grew up in a home that believed in the power of Chinese Medicine, my earliest memories as a child was going to a Chinese herbal pharmacy and the doctor would look at my tongue and weigh raw herbs on his scale. He would then wrap it carefully in newspaper, so we can prepare it at home. The aroma of steeped medicinal tea was pretty common in our house.

When I was young, my grandmother and I were close. She taught me the importance of self-care through massage therapy, herbal medicine, Chinese plasters/linaments for cuts/sprains, and even face reading. She always said that you can tell a lot about someone by examining their face. I didn’t know it at the time but face reading can be used as a powerful tool for diagnosing disease in the body also.

I use needles and my hands to unlock your body’s ability to heal itself. These help to increase blood flow, decrease inflammation + pain, and regulate your body’s immune response.

I also guide clients on what steps they need to take in order to allow for healing to happen. These steps may include lifestyle and dietary modifications or meditation to re-establish the mind-body connection.

I provide solutions to relieve discomfort, so that my clients are able to live a more fruitful life.

I help patients who are struggling to heal or function from:

• traumatic accidents
• injuries from living an active lifestyle
• repetitive stress (computer or physical work, prolonged standing/sitting)
• stress

I am a big believer that our bodies are resilient and I’ve devoted myself to helping people uncover their healing potential.

I use a gentle and holistic (whole body) approach to care.

I help my patients realize their power to pull themselves out of disease, so they can transform their lives. I am here to guide and empower them.

As a cheerleader, my very first coach was in the process of writing her massage therapy board exams and during practice she noticed that as a I was moving more to one side. She did an assessment and it appeared I had some muscles that were so tight that were pulling the curvature of my spine to one side!

With her being able to identify this just by watching my movements was enlightening, and I wanted to be able to see or feel and identify an issue that will help others.

I originally went to University for theatre studies to pursue my passion of acting and storytelling. Through this 4-year experience along with 1-year studying abroad in South Korea, I realized I was nurturing my soul but not my body or mind. I made a career change to Massage Therapy to better connect with my body and challenge my mind with Anatomy and Science. It was the best decision I ever made. Now, I want to help and encourage others to care for themselves holistically – mind, body, and soul.

Massage is the manipulation of your body’s soft tissues. I use my hands and arms to relieve your pain and stress, while also building your self-esteem so you can care for yourself. You are capable of change at any point in your life.

When the pandemic started, I knew I needed to alter my life and decided to make a career change. I decided to study at Medix College in Toronto and had an amazing experience from the start.

Massage was always something that was in the back of my mind, since I grew up but never thought I could pursue it as a career. I was always giving massages to my friends or family as a child doing my best to promote relaxation. My efforts were well received, and it provided tremendous joy to be able to help.

Through my university training, it has shown me the importance of caring for your mind, body and spirit. A love of yoga and healthy cooking has helped me create a foundation of wellness. I believed that once I helped myself first, then it allowed me to be more capable in helping others.

Everyone’s journey is unique and I can’t wait to be a part of yours.

Kelly is a mother of two and a Psychology graduate with a life long attraction to the helping and healing professions. She was previously employed for twelve years in the field of Substance Abuse Treatment. After a lengthy sabbatical, devoted to full time motherhood, Natural Medicine seemed to be a logical fit. Her interest in Natural Medicine informed much of her parenting; using gentle methods, how to handle illness, and feeding her family.

Her interests include cooking, gardening, camping, and art. She love discovering the stories and histories of people from their art and how they cook.

Her interest in Natural Medicine began in 2002 when she had gallbladder issues. Seeking relief she began to research what dietary modifications could be made to relieve her symptoms. During her first pregnancy, wishing for a holistic birth, she began to work with a Doula who helped her realize ways to manage labor pain. She was very enlightened by this experience and shaped the type of mother she became.
