Jasmine is a feel-good advocate, and nothing excites her more than others taking steps and changes to a better life, which can look different for everyone. As a new resident of Calgary, she’s blown away by the city’s culture and emphasis on incorporating and valuing activity and hopes to be able to support that culture down to an individual basis, everyone should be able to do what they love, comfortably and confidently.

She’s a firm believer that small consistent practices make big changes – movement, strength and good habit being major players. She also knows how frustrating the journey can be sometimes and is always happy to support the mental and physical challenges along the way.

Areas of Passion:

1. Low Back/Hips: Arguably one of the most common complaints across all populations, often can be well managed with proper assessment, treatment, and movement. There’s a lot that goes on in the lumbar/hip complex and even more that we demand from it. Jasmine can help investigate the “why”, treat targeted areas near or far, encourage proper movement patterns to minimize discomfort and progress to increasing strength.

2. Strength/Mobility: A fantastic preventative approach is to incorporate strength and mobility into our daily routines and can truly be the greatest form of “medication.” It not only allows for our tissues to be more resilient but improves our bodily awareness as well. It’s important to keep our goals in mind, but it’s just as important to know your starting point, and progress accordingly. Jasmine can help you navigate through how to do just that! Safely and effectively.

3. Chronic Stress/Injuries: “You’re only as strong as your weakest link.” Having been through a few injuries herself, Jasmine understands how pain or discomfort (no matter how big or small) that a person has become accustomed to could lead to dramatic changes in their lives. This is including but not limited to levels and types of activity, compensation patterns, mood and overall wellbeing. Although this typically requires a lot of patience and effort on and off the treatment table, the outcome often FAR exceeds all the effort.

Treatment Techniques:

• Steady, gradually deep, and focused

• Trigger point release

• Myofascial cupping
