PT, BSKin(H)
PELVIC FLOOR PHYSIOTHERAPY
Maria is a physiotherapist and co-founder of Pelvico Health Centre who focuses on treatment of pelvic floor disorders.
She completed her Bachelor of Kinesiology (Honours) at Acadia University before earning her Master of Science in Physiotherapy from Dalhousie University.
As a former elite soccer player, Maria developed an early appreciation for injury rehabilitation and performance optimization after navigating her own injuries. She has worked with elite athletes across numerous sports, including soccer, hockey, rugby, football, volleyball, ultimate frisbee, CrossFit, running, and strength sports.
Her passion lies in helping active individuals overcome injury, optimize performance, and confidently return to the activities they love.
Maria's career took a unique direction after completing a clinical placement in pelvic health physiotherapy, where she recognized the important connection between athletic performance and the pelvic floor. Since then, she has completed extensive post-graduate training in pelvic health, orthopaedics, acupuncture, dry needling, pregnancy and postpartum rehabilitation, allowing her to bridge the gap between sports medicine and pelvic health.
Today, Maria has a special interest in helping athletes, pregnant and postpartum individuals, and active adults safely return to sport, exercise, and high-level performance. Since becoming a mother herself, she has developed an even deeper appreciation for the physical and emotional challenges that accompany pregnancy, birth, and parenthood.
She is passionate about empowering new parents with evidence-based rehabilitation that helps them regain confidence, strength, and trust in their bodies.
Whether someone is training for a marathon, returning to CrossFit after having a baby, managing persistent pelvic pain, recovering from surgery, or simply wanting to move without limitations, Maria believes everyone deserves individualized care that supports their goals, not asks them to give up the activities they love.
Maria is also the Clinical Director for the Nova Scotia Healthy Athletes Program in FunFitness and is committed to improving access to healthcare for individuals with intellectual disabilities. She is passionate about advancing inclusive, evidence-based physiotherapy throughout the province.
Maria's treatment approach combines education, hands-on therapy, exercise prescription, acupuncture, dry needling, and functional rehabilitation to create personalized treatment plans that help patients build resilience and achieve lasting results.
