Physiotherapist, MScPT, BKin, Owner at LIFT

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.

Physiotherapist, MScPT, BAS-Kin, CSEP CPT

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.
