I was drawn to athletic therapy by my desire to help people stay active and optimize performance. While playing varsity sports at UVic, an injury impacted my life on and off the field. This experience, including the role my athletic therapist and exercise played in my recovery, fuelled my passion for injury prevention and active rehabilitation.
Before becoming an athletic therapist, I worked as a personal trainer and competed in Olympic weightlifting and the CrossFit Games. Through athletic therapy, I have treated high-performance athletes with the Vancouver Whitecaps and the UVic Vikes, and completed internships in spinal care, pelvic health, and vestibular rehabilitation.
I listen and assess to uncover the root of your symptoms, combining manual therapy and exercise to achieve lasting results. I enjoy working with motivated people of all ages and abilities, with special interests in sports injuries, dynamic posture, fall prevention, and running.
Outside the clinic, I enjoy travelling, beaches, coffee shops, and staying active with family and friends.
