Welcome to my Web Site!

Did you know, there are over 20,000 transformative practices offered around  the world. 20,000 approaches that claim to "shift something" about you -  to improve your tennis game, or your financial affairs, to reduce back pain, get you in touch with your anger, or your prostate.  Or   that promise you'll have a six pack for abs. We live in an embarrassment of riches in a way, even though not everything delivers what is says it will fulfill. However, by investing in  individual or group sessions,  you can ‘experience’  and assess the validity of   some of these cutting edge transformative practices for yourself.

When I take on a new client, I do an intake process, where I will ask you “What are the goals of your session, short and long term?  This helps to concretize the therapeutic direction of the work, so that the work itself remains focused.  While a client may present one complaint, ( i.e. a sore back), the origins of their back pain, might in-fact be affected not just by prolonged sitting, or a sedentary lifestyle, but by repressed anger - resolvable through psychotherapy, etc. So, if all you do is receive massage, for years and years, - you’ll not receive the “integral” benefits of connecting the emotional or childhood components to back issues later in life.

This season, enjoy receiving customized massage from the convenience of your own home. If you live within the downtown radius of Toronto, and purchase a $600 package from me, (for 8 sessions, prepaid) I will provide you with a 'loaner' massage table for the duration of our working relationship. If you book multiple sessions at the same booking time, for a significant other, partner, spouse, or friend, you can anticipate other savings.

This offer is subject to an availability of tables, and subject to a brief interview process to determine suitability. Payment is required in full in order to finance the cost of the purchase of the 'loaner' table. DVDs on how to practice basic Swedish and deep tissue massage will also be offered, as complimentary. If you would like to practice massage or stress management techniques on your own time, this is a great introduction to a new activity.
