My Story

My interest in bodywork began at age 14. I was first attracted to energy work, Swedish massage, and Reflexology. I quickly developed a passion for anatomy. During my career as a university professor (Linguistics and Speech Pathology), i offered massage on a part-time basis to people in my family and among friends. 

​

In the last 12 years, i’ve received training in the following modalities: Craniosacral, Structural/Myofascial, Neurokinetic Therapy, Chi Nei Tsang, Karsai Nei Tsang, Thai Massage, Stretching Therapy (AIS & Ki-Hara), Foot Reflexology, Tantric Yoni Massage, and Reiki. I also completed a 200-hour Yoga Alignment teacher training in 2017 and partook the Compassionate Inquiry training with Gabor Mate. 

​

My work is at the moment in a legal grey zone. I occasionally use pleasure to move organs or stimulate the production of specific hormones; different pleasure areas brings different contractions and stimulate specific glands. When i work on sexual issues, the work sometimes involve pleasure, but only with very clear request from the client, and with the goal of healing and growth; I don't do pleasure for pleasure without a goal. I works exclusively with my hands, energy and breath. 

​

Since leaving from my university position, i’ve divided my time between Thailand, Korea, Sri Lanka, Berlin, Spain, Bali, and Vancouver, BC. Outside of my work, i enjoy practicing yoga, conservation diving, hiking, and traveling.  I have two amazing grown up children.

I now live in Vancouver, BC with my wonderful partner Ashley Rose (ashleyelisabethrose.ca).
