I am a dedicated student of Aikido and Iaido. My teacher is Joshua Layton, at Montérégie Aikikai on the south-shore of Montréal. I also practice CrossFit at CrossFit Capop with Mathieu Dumontet.
My touch is a reflection of my compassionate life and as a martial artist: gentle but firm, strong but sensitive. I respect and admire nature in all its forms, and my practice has a strong emphasis on harmonizing the body and the mind using breathing, touching, appreciation of the present moment and loving kindness. My life is dedicated to exploring the body in movement, and its forms of healing.
I sincerely believe in the healing and preventive powers of massage therapy, and I strongly encourage everyone to integrate it in their lifestyle for a balanced, healthy, and enjoyable life.
Metta,
