She is an evidence based practitioner and has a passion for educating and empowering her clients through active rehabilitation, strength, and mobility training. Her passion for movement comes from a background in dance and she gained specialized experience while working with high level performance artists during her time on clinical placement with Canada's Royal Winnipeg Ballet Company and the Professional Division School. She has extensive experience with Post Surgical Rehabilitation for lower extremity joint replacement surgeries (hip and knee), experience in Neuro Rehabilitation, Concussion Rehabilitation, as well as in general Orthopaedic and Sport Rehabilitation. She loves working with people of all ages and fitness levels, and believes that one of the most important parts of rehabilitation is to try to make it fun! Her rehab approach is patient guided, and she tries to make each individual's Physiotherapy experience work to suit their own unique goals and lifestyle factors.

This treatment is available only for patients who have been previously assessed by Physio and who require only a quick follow up for Jaw IMS treatment (Dry Needling) or who need a single joint taped by the Physio. If you have never had IMS before you must book in for a longer session to go over consent forms. The Clinic reserves the right to cancel, rebook, or refuse service to inappropriately booked 15 minute sessions.
This 1 hour session is for Acute Concussion Assessment/ Post Concussion Disorder Assessment. It includes a comprehensive history, symptom review, creation of a management plan, as well as take home education, and resources.
Welcome! We are excited to meet you. Physiotherapy initial assessments are booked for your very first visit to our Physiotherapist. These sessions are 1 hour in length and will entail a comprehensive medical history, personal history, review your mechanism of injury and your injury history. We will review your goals and your expectations related to treatment, as well as review your current level of activity and vocational demands. We will conduct a mobility screen as well as perform a physical assessment during this session. We will help to explain your diagnosis (if relevant), educate you on the management of your injury, and discuss the expectations/outcome for recovery. Together, we will decide on which approach for treatment will work best for you and create a plan of action. After your session, the Physio will create and email your personalized Home Exercise Program to you within 12 -24 hours.
Follow up sessions are for patients on a current plan of care. 60 minute sessions allow for more time with the PT and are booked for patients who desire hands on treatment + exercise review or progression in one session. These sessions also allow for more in depth health education and management + activity planning, or training plan creation and progressions. These sessions are booked ongoing as needed according to your plan of care, as well as for maintenance needs. They are helpful for those travelling from out of town or for patients who may not be able to attend more frequently. If you have not been in to see the Physiotherapist within the past 3 months or if you have a new injury, please book a Reassessment.
