ABOUT

I am a graduate of Sutherland-Chan School and Teaching Clinic and I am registered and in good standing with the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario.  I am also Dr. Vodder certified in Manual Lymph Drainage and Combined Decongestive Therapy.  Prior to my training in massage therapy, I received a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Western Ontario.  

 

Through my training and clinic experience, I have experience in treating the following conditions: Lymphedema, Headaches/Migraines, Post Surgery Scar Work, Cording (axillary web syndrome), Fat necrosis, Post operative edema, to name a few.

 

I have a special interest in women’s health specifically, Breast Health and Breast Massage.  I believe that It is an area that often gets overlooked and I ensure that my patients are provided with an open and comfortable environment to discuss their breast health.  This can be anything from dealing with premenstrual breast pain, pregnancy and discomforts with breastfeeding, to patients who have had a lumpectomy/mastectomy/breast reconstruction due to a breast cancer diagnosis.  As a breast cancer survivor myself, I have first hand knowledge of how breast massage can help in the recovery process after a mastectomy and/or breast reconstruction.

 

In my free time you can find me traveling to exotic countries, scuba diving, camping and paddling away on a SUP.
