At LIFT, we all entered the world of physiotherapy from different backgrounds.
But what brings us together is our passion for continuous learning and our mission to deliver the best possible results to our clients.
Once upon a time, when I was 12 years old and competing as a provincial-level gymnast, I broke both arms from a fall off the uneven bars. Gymnastics was my life at the time, and I had to endure a gruelling recovery to get back to the sport I loved.
Physiotherapy was naturally a huge part of my life for a while and is almost wholly responsible for the full recovery I was able to make. At some point amidst all the physio appointments, I realized that I too wanted to help people get back to the things they loved, just the way my physiotherapist helped me.
Today, I help clients with general orthopedics, pelvic floor conditions, post-concussion syndrome, and post-surgery complications like ACL reconstruction and fracture recovery. I can relate to what my clients are going through since I had to endure it all myself all those years ago.
As a busy mom of two young children, I can also empathize with the numerous demands placed on new moms. Aside from helping moms with the complications preceding and following childbirth, I’m passionate about helping new mothers strike a balance between taking care of themselves and taking care of their kids.
Whether my client is coming to me for a concussion, a pelvic floor condition, or something else, I’m always amazed by how well the human body can respond to adversity, given the proper program, a little hard work, and the right mindset.
My passion for understanding how the human body moves started when I was a child athlete. Today, that passion fuels my work as a physiotherapist and my mission to help my clients make the most of their bodies.
Many of my clients have awkward body mechanics and often complain of pains they’ve carried around with them for years or even decades. I’m dedicated to showing my clients how they can manage their pain so that they can live better lives. I believe that no one should be constrained by their physical limitations.
Today, I love providing customized fitness programs to my clients to bridge the gap between where they are and where they’d like to be. I especially enjoy using a combination of manual therapy and exercise programs to help my clients get stronger.
I believe life is about enjoying the journey but also looking forward to the destination.

Even in high school, I knew I wanted to become a physiotherapist.
Over the years, I’ve experienced several concussions, sprains, and strains through multiple car accidents and while playing soccer and practising gymnastics. Needless to say, I was a frequent flyer in the rehab clinics.
Surprisingly, I actually looked forward to going to physio. I loved learning the science behind my injuries, and I was constantly bombarding my therapists with questions so I could understand more.
During that time, I decided that one day, I would be the person that my patients would look forward to seeing. I’d be the one helping them with their injuries and empowering them to achieve their health and wellness goals.
Today, I’m especially passionate about helping soccer and hockey players with injuries, along with the pre- and postnatal community. With enough family members to fill a small town, I’m surrounded by births, and I have my pulse on the many challenges that new moms struggle with. That’s why I took additional training in pregnancy, labour, and delivery alongside my pelvic floor physiotherapy training.
Whether my patient is an expecting mother, an athlete, or someone just trying to feel better and achieve their goals, my mission is to be their biggest supporter.
Do you remember when you were a kid, and you genuinely believed you had unlimited potential? Well, my motivation for becoming a physiotherapist is to help people overcome their injuries and other physical limitations so they can actually reach that potential (or at least come close).
As both a physio and athletic therapist, I’m passionate about helping my clients achieve their unique goals, whether they’re around taking the dog for a walk or returning to a high-impact pro sport.
As an athletic therapist, my goal is to accelerate my client’s healing process, no matter what the injury is, so that they can return to their pre-injury level of fitness as quickly and safely as possible.
Athletic therapy specializes in the prevention, emergency care, assessment, and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal injuries. After taking my clients through a detailed movement assessment, I use a combination of manual therapy, taping, bracing, and numerous other therapeutic modalities to help my clients achieve their fitness goals as efficiently as possible.
Today, I am committed to helping my clients achieve their fitness goals, whether they’re looking to perform better at home, at work, or in their favourite sport.
