Registered Physiotherapist, Pelvic Health Physiotherapist

Diploma of Manual and Manipulative Therapy, Certified in Acupuncture, Dry Needling and Reformer Pilates

My interest in pursuing a career as a Physiotherapist began at a young age while I was training at the National Ballet School of Canada, and often found myself seeking treatment from physiotherapists for various injuries over the 9 years I studied at the school. Today, I use my comprehensive dance knowledge to bring a unique perspective to the assessment and treatment of dancers I see in my clinical practice.

Following the time I spent at the National Ballet School, I attended the University of British Columbia where I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Human Kinetics in 2005. From there, I returned home to Toronto to complete my Master of Science in Physical Therapy from the University of Toronto in 2007. I have continued to challenge myself through extensive continuing education. In 2011, I achieved my CAFCI designation, a certification in acupuncture training. In 2013, I completed my Advanced Manual and Manipulative Therapy exam to receive my FCAMPT (Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Therapy) designation, which is the highest accreditation for orthopaedic physiotherapy in Canada.

Since becoming a mom to 2 girls, I have pursued an interest in women’s health, and have become a passionate pelvic health physiotherapist. I love working with both the pregnant and post-partum populations, as well as those dealing with issues related to menopause. I have also achieved my CIDN designation, a certification in integrated dry needling. And most recently, I have completed my Reformer Pilates training which allows me to incorporate Pilates into my clinical practice.
