About Me
Hey there, I'm Kelsey.
​
I’m a creator, facilitator & educator.
...I'm also a massage therapist, feminine embodiment coach and somatic movement facilitator with a keen interest in women's wellness.
​
I create the container. From the moment you walk into my space, the experience begins. My office has been curated as a beautiful, relaxing, healing space. I’ve created a way of working with people that invites a shift in the nervous system. From this place, your healing starts. When you walk in to my space, expect a comfy chair, beautiful music and a delicious scent in the air that says, “It’s okay. You can let your day go now.” You’ll sense a general energy of calm.
​
​
I facilitate your healing experience through massage therapy and various embodiment coaching containers. I show up with an extensive background in anatomy, somatics & the healing arts. From this rich foundation, you are guided through your healing journey with a sense of safety and support. I meet you where you’re at. There’s no pushing past resistance, rather a softening into what is. From the softening, you have space to explore different ways of being in your beautiful body.
​
​
I absolutely love learning about the body and I love to share what I know even more. Empowering people through shared knowledge is key. The more you know about your body, the more you can make powerful decisions. This is the gift of education. Our relationship is co-creative. This means you are an active participant. Transformation often takes place in the little moments between treatments. If you commit to showing up for yourself enough to listen to your body, you will have the gift of witnessing these beautiful transformations as your journey progresses.
​
​
I take a bio-psycho-social approach to my work. What does this mean? I treat you as a whole person – not just your current symptoms. We are dynamic beings constantly responding to our inner and outer environments. Through this relationship with our environments, our tissues begin to tell our story. Tension is rarely a coincidence.
​
​
My massage therapy and embodiment career started in 2012 and it's taken me all over the world. I learned about psychosomatic connection on the beach of El Salvador & I ran a successful luxury spa at the northernmost tip of Haida Gwaii.
​
​
When I’m not in the treatment room, you'll find me out in nature, cooking a plant based meal, dancing, or best of all, spending time with my family.
​
​
I’m looking forward to co-creating your container for healing and transformation.
​
Welcome.​
