THIS IS NO ORDINARY MASSAGE.

SPECIALTY INTEGRATIVE ORTHOPAEDIC MYOFASCIAL RELEASE IN OKOTOKS, AB.

WELCOME TO A DIFFERENT KIND OF MASSAGE THERAPY.

This is not a spa. This is not routine.

This is specialized, assessment-driven massage therapy that’s built to solve problems — not just soothe them.

With over 24 years of clinical experience and a reputation for tackling complex cases, I offer personalized, orthopaedic-test-based treatment for those navigating injury, surgery, disability, performance demands, and more — whether human or canine. If you’re looking for clarity, collaboration, and true resolution, you’ve come to the right place.

My Philosophy

Clinical Insight.

Tailored Care.

Real Results.

Every body has a story. Every symptom has a reason. My job is to listen, assess, and respond with treatment that makes a measurable difference.

I believe in:

Detailed intake and orthopaedic assessment
Individualized, consent-based treatment plans
Collaboration with other healthcare providers when needed
Strategic discharge once goals are achieved

Whether you’re facing post-surgical recovery, complex pain, functional limitations, or performance strain, I work with you to create results-driven, achievable progress.

My Approach

Thoughtful Assessment.

Purposeful Treatment.

Results That Matter.

I don’t treat a body part — I treat a person. From intake to discharge, every element of care is deliberate:

45–60 minute initial intake including full orthopaedic testing
60-90 minute treatment sessions that prioritize safety, comfort, and clinical relevance
Dolphin Neurostim Microcurrent for scar release and/or pain may also be used if indicated at no additional charge
Home care exercise that fits into your life — with progress we can track
Optional tools like far infrared sauna and vibration therapy included each visit

This isn’t “grease and go” massage. It’s intelligent, invested care that evolves with your needs.

Why I Do This Work

In 2008, a motor vehicle accident left me with spinal fractures, nerve damage, and a long road through Alberta’s medical and disability systems. I’ve lived the confusion, the dismissal, and the slow return to function.

That journey changed my practice.

I rebuilt my career not just as a therapist — but as an advocate. I know what it’s like to be told you might never recover. And I know what it takes to prove them wrong.

This is more than a profession. It’s personal.

And it’s why I fight so hard for my clients.

Testimonials

What I Offer

Over the years, I’ve built a reputation for attracting what I fondly call “the weird and wonderful” — individuals with complex, stubborn issues that haven’t responded to typical approaches. Many of my clients come to me after seeing multiple providers with little to no progress.

With more than two decades of experience, including hands-on work with the Canadian Pro Rodeo Sport Medicine Team, I’ve supported athletes with injuries so unique they aren’t found in textbooks. I’ve helped clarify puzzling long-term disability cases and uncovered overlooked root causes in clients misdiagnosed or treated ineffectively elsewhere.

Today, my practice is centered around results-driven, specialty care with a focus on helping those who feel stuck. I offer targeted clinical support in four key areas — each designed to deliver insight, direction, and lasting relief for complex or unresolved conditions.

Surgical Preparation & Rehabilitation

Tailored protocols to prepare your body before surgery and accelerate recovery afterward. Includes a post-surgical home visit, guided rehab, and close collaboration with your medical team.

Long-Term Disability Case Support

For complex or unresolved cases, I provide in-depth assessment, treatment, progress tracking, and optional reports to help clients, insurers, and legal teams find clarity and movement forward.

Injury Recovery Protocol

Designed for motivated clients dealing with acute injuries, repetitive strain, chronic dysfunction, or performance setbacks. This is structured care with a timeline and treatment goals — not indefinite maintenance.

Canine Massage Therapy

Certified K-9 Myo-Manipulative Functional Therapy for sport dogs, seniors, neonates, and post-surgical dogs. As a seasoned breeder, trainer, and dog sport competitor, I understand the biomechanics, investment, and goals that drive dog care at every stage.
