I truly believe movement is medicine and exercise is for everyone. I am most passionate about helping people rehab from injury or returning to activity after time away for any reason. I have several years experience with ICBC claims and return to work protocols, but I love to work with athletes and others trying to reach their personal goals.

Since finishing my Bachelor of Kinesiology from the University of Alberta in 2017, I have worked in several areas including primary health care, concussion rehab, and general recreation and training.

Outside of work I am a national level ringette athlete and I enjoy cycling, hiking, and bad television! Come chat with me about any of it while you train to be your best self.

What I love most about physiotherapy is seeing people get back to the activities that bring them joy, whether that’s playing sports, chasing after their kids, or just feeling good in their own bodies again. I see rehab as a team effort, and I really enjoy working alongside my clients to find what helps their body feel and perform its best.

I completed my Master’s Degree in Physical Therapy at the University of British Columbia and have been working in private practice ever since. I treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including athletic injuries, post-surgical rehab, repetitive strain issues, and chronic pain. My approach always begins with a detailed, personalized assessment to identify the root cause of pain and how factors like dysfunctional movement patterns, training habits, or strength and mobility imbalances contribute to injury.

My treatments combine exercise, education, and manual therapy, with Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) often used as an additional tool. My goal is to make physiotherapy an empowering experience and to help people understand their bodies so they can take an active role in their own recovery.

I grew up playing just about every sport I could, which meant I also became very familiar with injuries and the rehabilitation process. These experiences taught me resilience, patience, and the value of movement in recovery (along with trying to keep a good sense of humor). Staying active has always been a big part of who I am, and it’s what inspires me to help others move better, feel great, and get back to doing the things that make life fun. When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll find me spending time with my family, enjoying the outdoors, and attempting to learn the art of sailing the beautiful waters around Vancouver Island.

Special interests: active/athletic injuries, return to activity, sport treatments, deep pressure incorporating movement into the massage.

Movement and positivity has played a huge role in my patient’s road to recovery; massage can be a great catalyst to improving both of those aspects. My goal is to make you feel better during and post-treatment. I find that is best accomplished with a deep (but manageable) pressure with some movement incorporated during and post massage.

My therapist and coaching career has exposed me to many different demographics and made me realize that anyone with a positive attitude is someone I want to help! If you’re injured or feeling sore and tight and want to feel better then I want to help you return to a healthier state of being.

After completing my Kinesiology degree from the University of the Fraser Valley I worked as a kinesiologist and fitness coach for 5 years. I returned to school at the West Coast College of Massage Therapy and have been an RMT since 2018. I have been lucky enough to work with different sports and athletes from the Vancouver Whitecaps Youth Residency team to skateboarders. Most of my post-school training has been with therapeutic exercise and Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) tools. I have a lot of experience with skateboarding, CrossFit, weightlifting,football, baseball, and soccer; but I do have love and appreciation for all sports and activities.

Special interests: tension headaches, migraines, relaxation, and lower body treatments with a focus on enhancing leg mobility, strength, and recovery.

I’ve always been passionate about health and wellness, and my interest in how the body works naturally led me to massage therapy—a career that brings both together. Through a blend of deep tissue and relaxation massage, I use effective techniques with a calming touch to ease tension, alleviate discomfort, and promote relaxation and overall wellness.

Graduating from West Coast College of Massage Therapy gave me a strong foundation in Swedish Massage, Trigger Point Therapy, and Myofascial Release—all of which I incorporate into my treatments to create a personalized experience for each client.

Outside of the clinic, you’ll often find me cooking, spending time with friends and family, or planning my next adventure. I look forward to working with new clients and helping them achieve their wellness goals through effective and restorative massage care.

Special interests: women’s health (pre/post natal), headaches, jaw pain

 I’m a Registered Massage Therapist with a special interest in women’s health, particularly during pregnancy and the postpartum period.

Along with my passion of treating women’s health, I enjoy treating headaches, neck pain and jaw pain (TMJ).

When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll likely find me out in my big veggie garden, cooking up something delicious, or exploring local trails on long walks. I love spending time in nature and believe strongly in its healing power—something I try to bring into both my personal life and my approach to massage therapy.

special interests: running/lifting/performance injuries, TMJ/TMD, postpartum return to performance/c-section recovery

My biggest passion is getting people moving again, and feeling in control of their bodies. Physiotherapy and rehab/strength and conditioning is super important to me, because it can make or break someones pain or injury experience. I work with all different types of levels, ages and abilities, and nothing gives me greater fulfilment than helping people find joy in being active.

I have guided numerous athletes to return to sport, particularly in post op rehab of achilles ruptures, rotator cuff repair, ACL, meniscal, joint replacement, etc. I thoroughly enjoy bridging the gap between rehab and performance and focusing on strength and conditioning.

I completed my Bachelors of Kinesiology at University of the Fraser Valley, and my Master’s in Physiotherapy at UBC. My post graduate training has focused on, orthopaedic manual therapy, strength and conditioning, olympic lifting, biomechanics, TMJ, clinical pilates, women’s health (c-section rehab, pelvic floor) and functional dry needling/IMS. Further university/graduate certificates include Orthopaedic Manual Therapy, and Clinical Physiotherapy - Musculoskeletal Specialization at Curtin University in Perth, Australia.
