I’ve had a life-long desire to understand the meaning of life and how things work, because growing up life didn’t quite make sense. So out of high school, I went travelling looking for the answer out there. The first year I travelled to Australia, New Zealand and 13 of the South Pacific Islands.  I didn’t find the answer in Tonga, Tahiti or Ayers Rock. In the second year of travelling, I cycled 14,000 miles on a bicycle. Six months in the Orient and Asia and six months in Europe. Travelling was a terrific experience and an education all on its own, but it was on the beaches of Bail that I found my career path and part of what I was looking for. In Bali, every day while lying on the beach the locals would come and you could get a massage for a dollar. I got a massage every day. I remember the moment during one massage when I felt a deep inner connection with myself.  I got up and said that’s it, when I return to Canada I’m going to study massage therapy. Inner connection was what I was looking for and I couldn’t find it in Turkey, Scotland, the Philippines or anywhere in the world.

Today, I feel very lucky because I followed my passion from a young age.  For 40 years now, I’ve worked in the wholistic health field loving what I do. Since beginning my massage therapy studies in 1983 I have had a deep fascination with learning about the wisdom within the body, especially understanding the psychology of our physiology and the body’s many holographic maps.  It’s been a wonderful journey through many latitudes of learning and depths of self-discovery.

My other hobbies and interests are travelling, photography, gardening, pickleball, golf, and quality time with family and friends.
