Mara Massage
I combine different massage certifications from various countries and incorporate them to best suit your needs. I am certified for:
- Deep tissue/Swedish massages (completed in Paris and Verbier Switzerland)
- Relaxation (completed in Paris),
- Sports massage (in Verbier, Switzerland),
- Acupressure and polarity (Hasting ,New Zealand),
- Traditional Thai massage ( Chiang Mai, Thailand)
- Dynamic cupping and hot stones (Canada)
- on going course with Myoskeletal alignment techniques (by Erik Dalton, USA).
- Tuning Forks with Acutonics levels 1 completed at the Sounds Healing center in Crawford Bay, BC.
I am also learning and exploring herbalism and apply it to my practice with home herbal-infused massage oils.
My goal: to reinstall the importance of the sense of touch that our modern culture and lifestyle have unknowingly neglected, by making massage therapy more accessible for everyone. I am passionate about the body's self healing power and believe that massage therapy is part of this "little push" we all need from time to time.

Deep Tissue or relaxation
Don't stress about choosing between relaxation, deep tissue or sport massage. I usually combine different techniques depending on which is most relevant to you. My priority is to listen to you and your body!
Cupping Massage
Silicone cups are placed on the skin where the air within the cup has been removed to cause a vacuum effect. This negative pressure stimulates blood circulation, stretches the fascia and muscles. I like to use them in movement or with muscle activation.
Hot stones
Hot stones help your muscles warm faster and therefore easily going deeper for the rest of the treatment. Their enveloping heat will soothe your entire body. It feels even better in winter time!
Traditional Thai Massage
This ancient bodywork serves as a full body activation by combining pressure applied with hands, elbows and feet along the 10 meridians. It is like passive stretching and is performed fully clothed on a floor mat. Trained and certified in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
You can purchase my organic handcrafted products after your massage sessions (hand creams, face oils, body oils...)
