I graduated from Makami in 2012 with my 3000 Hour Advanced Massage Diploma, and from MOCC in 2020 as a Manual Osteopathic Therapist. My passion is working with chronic pain and repetitive strain patterns. I have held various roles as a practitioner from owner operator, to management, spa settings and clinical. I currently work to increase client education in regards to fascia and functional movement.

I graduated from the Advanced Clinical Massage Therapy program at MaKami College in 2014. I also have a Childcare Provider certificate and a bachelor’s degree in English Language & Literature from MacEwan University.

My passion is person-centred care to help people manage their pain and injuries so they can pursue their wellness goals. I hope to bring my perspective and creativity to the board and contribute to its work to elevate our professions.

As a massage therapist, I graduated from SESMT (South Edmonton School of Massage Therapy), an accredited massage school owned and directed by two well-reputed professional physiotherapists in Edmonton, Alberta. The school holds its massage students to high therapeutic standards and professionalism.

I have always had a passion for learning more about the human body’s physiology and chemistry. I hold a degree in Medical Laboratory Sciences from overseas and have worked in hospitals in Lebanon and at a government hospital in Dubai.

I have a proven work history focused on customer service and operations management prior to becoming a massage therapist. I am currently working at a reputable transport company as an Operations Manager, in addition to working at Adam Physio Clinic in Edmonton, AB, as a massage therapist.

I joined CMMOTA as a full active massage therapist in 2020 and now serve as a Board of Directors member (Treasurer). I hope to serve CMMOTA’s massage therapists and osteopathic therapist members to my full potential by providing strong financial planning and stability to the Association, allowing it to continue delivering the best possible services to its members.
