Working with you to live a more capable life

Treatments

A global approach.

Massage therapy is the assessment and treatment of the body’s soft tissues—muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia—to support physical function and nervous system well-being. Whether you're recovering from injury, surgery, or simply navigating the stress of modern life, massage can help restore balance and promote healing.

My approach isn’t about rigid techniques or labels. I take a global approach—blending techniques intuitively and tailoring each session to what your body needs in the moment. My goal is to work closely with you to support your natural healing and help you live a more capable life.

About

Growing up on a farm, movement and physical activity were a natural part of life. From working and playing with animals to climbing trees, I was always on the go—and fascinated by how bodies work. That curiosity eventually led me to study Sports and Remedial Massage Therapy in 1999, and I’ve been helping people feel and move better ever since. My career has taken me from clinic rooms to the world stage, working with elite athletes at major events including the Olympics, where I learned that performance—at any level—starts with self-care.

While much of my background is in sport, my approach is grounded in empathy, listening, and supporting each individual—whether you're an Olympian or simply navigating everyday life.  I take a global, intuitive approach to treatment, blending different methods to meet the needs of the moment.

 

In 2023, I completed certification in Massage Classique, allowing me to work within the Swiss complementary insurance system.
