MY STORY

Allow me to introduce myself. I am an occupational therapist with 34 years of experience working with a wide variety of diagnoses. In 2006 I expanded my clinical skills by becoming trained in myofascial release for pain relief. September 2021 I was fortunate to complete John Barnes MFR I and am enjoying the many more success stories of individuals being able to return to completing daily activities with less pain or no pain and resume participation in leisure activities that they had to stop because of pain.

In 2012, I sustained an injury that resulted in severe daily pain.  It was at that time that I fully began to understand what it meant to live in pain and the difficulty in finding relief and someone to listen to me.  After navigating through the traditional health system I turned to alternative treatments including myofascial release.

This injury was a turning point in my clinical practice.  At that time I made a commitment to help as many individuals who were living in pain that I could. I have had great success incorporating myofascial release into my clinical practice for the past 15 years. These rewarding and successful experiences have led me to opening this business to serve individuals living in pain . 

Through A Handful of Hope my mission is to relieve your pain to allow you to live a fulfilling life again doing what you love to do.
