As a kinesiologist, my goal is to help people feel capable and in control of their bodies. Kinesiology goes beyond “just exercise”—it’s the science of using movement to prevent injury, recover from setbacks, and support lifelong health. Whether you’re navigating postpartum changes, improving strength and balance as you age, or working toward new fitness goals, I design safe, personalized programs that make movement both effective and sustainable.

Within this broad scope, I have a special passion for supporting postpartum women and older adults. These groups are often overlooked when it comes to tailored exercise, and my practice focuses on helping them rebuild strength, restore function, and feel confident in their movement. My published research on postpartum exercise and my dedication to active aging continue to guide much of my approach.

I completed my Bachelor of Kinesiology with a specialization in Exercise Science at the University of the Fraser Valley, alongside a certificate in Professional Communications. My sessions combine assessment, progressive exercise prescription, and education to help you reach your goals and maintain long-term strength.

I’ve been passionate about sports and physical activity for as long as I can remember. Growing up playing a variety of sports sparked a deep interest in the human body. That passion led me to pursue a Bachelor of Kinesiology at the University of the Fraser Valley, where I gained a strong foundation in movement science, rehabilitation, and human performance. After graduating, I worked as a Kinesiologist for five years, helping clients recover from injuries and reach their physical goals.

During that time, I noticed a recurring need for hands-on soft tissue work as part of the recovery process. That realization inspired me to become a Registered Massage Therapist. I went on to study at the West Coast College of Massage Therapy and graduated in 2018. I was also lucky enough to teach an Orthopaedic class and run the athletic massage outreach from 2019 - 2024.

My treatment style is deep, hands-on, and often includes active components. I am passionate about injury rehabilitation (whether from trauma, overuse, or sports-related issues) and I’ve seen first-hand how effective massage therapy can be in accelerating recovery and improving performance.

Hi I’m Nadine! I’m excited to join Novo as a Registered Nurse proving breastfeeding/ lactation and bottle feeding support services!I’ve been a registered nurse in the neonatal intensive care unit for 18 years and am a mom of five. I have specialized training and years of experience helping parents and babies in their feeding journeys. The benefits of breast/ chest feeding are widely known for both parent and baby but what I’m most passionate about empowering parents with skills and knowledge to best feed and confidently care for their baby. I will be providing prenatal breastfeeding classes, private consultations on feeding/latching challenges and other feeding support (pumping, increasing or decreasing supply, and bottle feeding). Outside of my passion for caring for families, you can usually find me trying to decode my kids slang, trying new recipes or jumping in puddles my little ones. I’m looking forward to supporting you!

Nadine is typically available on short notice and for emergency appointments.

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.
