Certified Massage Therapist
7 years of experience

Throughout the 17 years of my professional career as a figure skater, I have observed fellow athletes go through career-ending injuries.

While my interest initially was in helping athletes learn about injury prevention and management, working at a busy physical therapy office for five years has shifted my passion towards helping everyone, regardless of their athletic background.

other techniques

  • Healy device

    Healy

    Healy is a wearable device that uses Individualised Microcurrent Frequencies (IMF) to harmonise various imbalances in your Bioernergetic Field.

    The imbalances (dysfunction) can result from many conditions and circumstances in our day to day lives - everything from stress to injuries! Healy programs have been specifically created to address each area of dysfunction to help get your Bioenergetic Field back in balance.

  • Pain and recovery specialist holding the Renew Gel

    Renu Gel & Redox Molecules

    The healthy upkeep of the body depends on communication between cells in every tissue, organ, and system.

    Redox signaling molecules are responsible for keeping our cells healthy, and if our body doesn’t produce enough of them, the healing process slows down. Renu gel provides those molecules to the body topically, helping speed up healing and reducing inflammation.

Treatment session process

01

Evaluation

Regardless of the complaint or injury, each treatment will begin with a brief evaluation: movement analysis to determine potential compensation patterns, questions regarding injury history, sleep, nutrition, etc.

02

treatment

Once the evaluation is done I start with the manual treatment to address muscle tightness, trigger points, increase range of motion, and reduce pain.

03

recommendations

At the end of the session I give suggestions of basic movement correction exercises. You’ll receive the list of videos that are recommended.

"Hi Aly! Sorry for the late response I did receive your text. It's been a busy week. I feel good. The pain is still there but not nearly as intense as before. And I feel like the bandage on my back really really helped me out especially because I had way more people in my chair this week. I've been conscious about how I walk and pinning my belly button it's made a big difference. I'd love to schedule another appointment with you."

"No words to how impactful today was. Thank you again for your kindness and holding space for me to heal."

"Hi Aly! Definitely feel so much better. It's been like two months of back pain so it might take a tim or two more of seeing you to feel fully better but wow you did some magic on me!"

"Omg seriously that was life changing. I can definitely do Wednesday afternoon or evening. So just let me know. Thank you again"

"Hi Aly! I'm noticed a huge improvement these pass weeks since I saw you. My back has been doing well and the pain is only on my lower left side of my back. I was finally able to clean my entire apartment without having to stop in between but I did spread it out two days. I'm currently recovering from a surgery I had yesterday, but hopefully I can schedule an appointment with you as soon as I'm ready."
