I am a dedicated healthcare professional based in Squamish, BC, with over two decades of experience helping individuals navigate the complex interdependence of physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual well-being. My approach is rooted in a person-centred, anti-oppressive stance that honours the unique needs of every individual I serve. Currently, I am expanding my clinical reach as a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology candidate at Yorkville University, with an expected graduation in August 2027.
My fascination with health began in 2000, when I first pursued training in fitness, functional movement, and exercise psychology. This journey evolved into becoming a certified Yoga Therapist, where I supported diverse clients through somatic and mindfulness-based practices. In 2011, I graduated with honours from the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy, and I have been practicing as a Registered Massage Therapist for the past 14 years.
Over time, I began to notice a common theme among my clients: a deep-seated feeling of being unsafe in expressing themselves authentically, and a fear of stepping outside the familiar—even when the familiar was no longer helpful. When I recognized this as a reflection of my own journey with medical trauma, chronic pain, and perfectionism and people-pleasing behaviours, I realized there is so much more to health than just the physical. My own experience with recovering from chronic neuroplastic symptoms now allows me to bring deep compassion to the process of nervous system regulation and calming pain signals.
This insight sparked my desire to learn more about myself and the diverse, complex human experience, so I can help others holistically, leading me toward the field of counselling. To support this intention, I have pursued advanced certifications in Pain Reprocessing Therapy and pain education, and I offer an online program, Empowered Pain Mastery, to help clients find a more active, empowered approach to their well-being. My commitment to my community also includes five years as a volunteer firefighter in Tofino, where I offered emotional support and first aid during high-stress emergencies.
Today, I am a student member of the BCACC and a long-standing member of the RMTBC. Whether I am facilitating a clinical treatment plan or holding space for self-reflection, I approach my work with honest curiosity, warmth, and a deep respect for the resilience of the human spirit. When I'm not with clients, you can find me mountain biking, hiking, or enjoying my love for playing music and reading.

What patients said about Amy

“From the moment I met Amy she made me feel I was in good hands. Just by standing talking to her she could see from my stance some of my issues which was very impressive. I love the relaxing atmosphere in the studio, even when my appointment is ending I never feel like she is rushing to the next customer. Amy takes her time explains everything she is going to do and is extremely professional but with a warm friendly touch. I seem to seeing her more and more due to always injuring myself which can also affect my emotions but Amy always puts my mind at ease and my body. Thanks Amy!!”Read moreShow less

“I'm so grateful for Amy's exceptional skill and knowledge. I've just moved to the area and have been looking for a massage therapist who could deal with my many sporting related injuries. I'm so used to slow, minimal progress, so was elated when each time I left her office that I was more like myself, and ready to get back to activity.
Amy is amazing. She knows her anatomy, and fixes you while you're relaxed, having good conversation, in a calm, comfortable atmosphere. I honestly could write a book about how amazing, kind and skilled she is, but there's not enough space on this page! Thank you Amy!”Read moreShow less

“Eaglewind is a very welcoming and relaxing environment. I took my daughter to see Amy after a sports injury. She was very gentle with her easing her into the idea of RMT, explaining everything to her but also getting to the source of the problem with confidence. Amy is very thorough and knowledgeable and took the time to communicate with me and the other professionals involved in her care. Other members of our family have seen Maya and Monita and I would highly recommend all the practitioners there for any member of the family.”Read moreShow less

She's very knowledgeable, intuitive and extremely caring. Amy's own fitness level and determination to help people keep moving at their best level keeps me coming back! I highly recommend Amy!”Read moreShow less

“Amy is an amazing Practitioner! I have been seeing her for about 4 years now and I will continue to follow her wherever she practices. She is extremely skilled at massage but offers so much more. She provides preventative education and practical advice on things I can do to keep myself healthy. She has made a positive impact to my life and I highly recommend her services!”Read moreShow less

“A friend pointed me in Amy's direction about a year ago. I couldn't have been more satisfied with the care I received. Amy took the time to explain the chosen treatment and ways I could improve my own personal well being. I enjoyed her professionalism and easy going manner. I would highly recommend Amy to anyone wanting to feel better in their body. This holds especially true for highly active people looking to achieve new levels of enjoyment and recovery from a variety of simultaneous sports and pastimes. I am sad to see her leave the Vally but happy see has found a home in Squamish. Your community is deepened by her.”Read moreShow less
