Let's Get Started.
Imagine you are standing at the bottom of a flight of stairs.
The first step is a fairly big one, and that makes the rest of the staircase look insurmountable even though you can see most of the steps are pretty easy.
​
Don't let that first big step deter you.
Let me help you on those first few steps.
​
My specialty is helping those with chronic pain issues.
We'll look at the big picture.
Pain isn't just a body part. Pain is complex, and in learning just a few key things, you can make changes that will help you build your path back to wellness.
Upcoming Training

Practicing on the Traditional Lands of Treaty 7
I would like to acknowledge the traditional, ancestral, unceded Treaty 7 territory, as well as, the historical regional homeland of the Métis, which includes the Battle River Territory on which we are learning today.
I believe it’s important to acknowledge the land because Indigenous people were talked about in the past tense and all the struggles they faced were in the past tense as well. It is easier to deny Indigenous people their rights if we historicize their struggles and simply pretend they don’t exist.
The Bottom Line. Literally.
Pain is complex and exhausting. You are looking for the 'fix'. The one thing that someone can do for you to get rid of your pain. I totally get it.
​
Here is the deal, I am not going to guarantee you anything. Why?
Because you need to do the work. I am here to be your coach, your support team and help you build your staircase.
​
I've taken courses not only in how chronic pain works and can be treated, but also in behaviour change so I can do everything possible to help you build the habits you need to live your best life!
