When you are injured, the impact on your life is not just physical, but can prevent participation in important areas of your life – such as your job or sport. Without a comprehensive plan for rehabilitation it can be challenging to find a way back to health and activity. It was the dedication, patience, and skill of my team physiotherapist that ultimately allowed me to compete and achieve my goal of swimming in an Olympic final. This experience was the inspiration for my decision to pursue a career helping others to overcome their own physical limitations and achieve their own goals. My unique academic background, clinical experience, and life experience give me a distinct perspective on injury and rehabilitation, particularly with athletes, as well as the impact physiotherapy can have upon my clients’ everyday lives. I use evidence-based practice to optimize physical function and return people to healthy lifestyles and the activities that are meaningful to them.

Life is about change and growth, to me, that means improved health is about consistent learning. I believe the best I can do for my clients is to reinforce our sessions by providing tools that will help them create change in their daily lives. I am committed to working alongside my clients to develop a healthier balanced life!
I became passionate about learning and sharing knowledge while completing my 200-hour yoga teacher training in Baja, Mexico. The experience inspired me to become a massage therapist, so I could help people develop better movement and understanding of their own bodies.
As a massage therapist, my intentions are to educate and support individuals of all ages in achieving their health and wellness goals. I make use of both assessment and current research to improve function based on both a client’s current level of mobility and what they need to reach their rehabilitation and fitness objectives.
