not miss today while looking for tomorrow.

Hockey is a passion for me and I have met so many of the amazing people in my life through

sport. As a student-athlete with the University of Lethbridge Women's Hockey team, I thrived on

the team atmosphere and community of athletes, coaches and support staff. This has translated

into a passion for connecting with other professionals with similar interests and trying to be

involved with young female athletes whenever possible.

My journey in women's health has come about through my lived experience with pelvic health

dysfunction, and my unexpected career in mental health. I am an anatomy and movement geek

at heart, so employment in mental health was never a goal of mine, until it happened. The years

I have spent in mental health have been the most rewarding time of my career thus far and has

prepared me to work with women from all walks of life, with all different issues and solutions.

E-Motion Therapy was created out a recognition of a gap in services, not only regarding

women's health in rural Alberta, but within women's health services as a whole.

As an occupational therapist, I am equipped to address the vast majority of the factors that

impact a woman's pelvic health and daily life, such as physical function, psychological factors

and environmental influences. This enables a holistic and individual approach. It has also

allowed me to become comfortable asking the hard questions around topics that often carry

stigma or are not talked about such as sexual function or maternal mental health.

In short, I want to be the resource that I wish I had access to or had known about in my time of

need. This is my way of providing hope and encouragement for women in my community in

seeking quality whole-person care regarding women's health and pelvic health in rural Alberta.
