Physiotherapist
She/Her
What are your top skills as a physiotherapist?
I have a great capacity to problem solve the root cause of one’s problem whether it be mechanical, emotional, spiritual, trauma based and/or a combination of the aforementioned. I am able to create a safe space for clients to feel heard, seen, and valued and am always open to honest communication about boundaries, expectations and the like.
What kind of approach do you take with clients?
I take an honest approach with my clients and often what my clients appreciate about working with me is my capacity for them to feel heard, seen, and safe. I take people as they are without judgement.
How would a friend describe you?
A friend would describe me as quirky, funny, honest, and kind. They would say I am reliable and consistent.
What drew you to this profession?
I knew I wanted to help people but I also knew I would grow queasy of a profession requiring me to work with human excrements such as in doctoral and/or nursing studies. Thus, physiotherapy studies presented as a solid option.
What lights you up about the work you do?
The moments that bring me the most joy or meaning in my day are when I can bring hope and joy into one’s life by being present, an active listener, and a skilled problem solver in helping them achieve their goals.
What motivates you in patient care?
The heart of why I do what I do has always been based on helping people. I am a born healer; and I have been put on this earth to help people do just that, heal.
Can you share some highlights in your background or training?
Connect Therapy & The Thoracic Ring Approach as well as the CranioSacral Therapy training have provided me with the skills in achieving success in holistic and whole body evaluation. It has helped me connect the dots between one’s story and how it presents itself in their body.
What's something people might not expect about you?
I won a singing competition and the prize was a Mitsubishi Eclipse sports car.
Where can we find you when you're not at the clinic?
When not at the clinic, I enjoy being outdoors, and with friends and family.
What are your non-negotiable heath/wellness practices or rituals?
Finding time to have solitude to reflect, meditate, and be with myself as a means to restore my spiritual and physical energetic cups.
