About Lynn

I'm a West Coast gal, born and raised in Victoria. After studying English Literature and Philosophy (and all kinds of other interesting subjects) at the University of Victoria, I went to Sutherland-Chan School and Teaching Clinic in Toronto and became a Registered Massage Therapist in 1985. I worked in Toronto for a while, but came back to Victoria in 1986.

I took my first Jin Shin Do acupressure course in 1990 and have been dabbling in it ever since. I continue to study the art of acupressure and my most recent course was the Acupressure Facial. My clients love this! I offer a session in which I do half massage therapy and half acupressure facial points. It's an energizing combination!

As well as bodywork, I have a great interest in communication and counselling skills. I have been studying Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communication since 2002. This has really helped me to be more empathic and has contributed to my excellent listening skills. Other interests include singing; I belong to a women's sextet here in Sooke called Grace~Notes, which performs a wide variety of music, but with an emphasis on pieces from the Medieval and Renaissance periods.

In September 2009 I started the Sooke Consciousness Cafe, a discussion group that meets monthly at the Reading Room Cafe in Sooke. Our members talk informally about topics that matter to us. I enjoy being in a community of fellow truth seekers who value personal and spiritual growth.
