Completed a 3-year Diploma in Experiential Psychotherapy and Therapeutic Counselling and is Registered with ACCT (Association of Cooperative Counseling Therapists of Canada). Experiential therapy blends talk, movement, and mindfulness to help you process emotions through the body—not just the brain. As a therapist trained in Experiential Psychotherapy and Therapeutic Counselling (ACCT Registered), I guide clients through practices like breathwork, visualization, and somatic techniques to reconnect with their inner resources, release stored stress, and build nervous system resilience. It's less ‘fix yourself’ and more ‘feel what’s real, and move from there.

Developed by world-renowned musculoskeletal expert Dr. Andreo Spina, Functional Range Conditioning® is a comprehensive joint training system based in scientific principals and research.

There are 3 main training-goals when utilizing the FRC® system which are all closely interrelated, and acquired simultaneously:

1. Mobility Development

   Mobility refers to the amount of active, usable motion that one possesses. The more mobile a person is, the more they are able to maximize their movement potential safely, efficiently, and effectively.

2. Joint Strength

   While improving mobility and movement potential, the FRC® system also acts to ‘bullet proof’ (or safe-guard) your joints so that movement can be executed safely.

3. Body Control

   Training with FRC® improves the function of your nervous system. This leads to a reduction of pain and injury, joint health and longevity, as well as an increased ability to move freely and easily.
