After completing my degree in Human Kinetics at St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia, my passion for restoring movement and enhancing physical resilience was further ignited as I returned to my hometown to pursue a Master’s in Physiotherapy at the University of Ottawa.
Throughout my academic journey, I gained valuable experience in a variety of settings such as in acute hospital care, neurological and musculoskeletal rehabilitation at specialized centers, and the treatment of orthopedic and sports injuries in private clinics.
Building on this broad foundation, I completed the Advanced Integrated Musculoskeletal (AIM) Physiotherapy Level 1 and Level 2 Upper Courses, which have sharpened my skills in the assessment and treatment of orthopedic conditions. I love helping clients break through their pain, overcome obstacles and find joy in movement and exercise.
Along the way, I discovered a passion for helping individuals with dizziness and balance disorders, leading me to earn a postgraduate Vestibular Rehabilitation Certification. I also enjoy creating exercise programs for older adults aimed at reducing falls and enhancing their overall health as they age. It’s been incredibly rewarding helping clients with dizziness, vertigo, and balance issues regain control of their lives and confidently manage their conditions.
My diverse experiences have shaped a holistic approach to physiotherapy, one that focuses on delivering personalized, compassionate care. Whether you're recovering from surgery, healing from an injury, or managing acute or chronic dizziness/vertigo, I am committed to providing treatment that not only supports physical recovery but also fosters a lasting sense of confidence and well-being.
Outside of work, I stay active through running, cycling, skiing, weight training, and playing ringette. I also love spending time outdoors camping, traveling, and enjoying moments with family and friends.
