About Us

Years of treating complex spinal issues of my clients has allowed me to recognize patterns. Pattern recognition allows for more efficient diagnosis of problems and then to treating them effectively. It has also allowed me to assess and treat the whole individual to discover the source of the problem and not just “what hurts”.

Through my years of working as a physiotherapist and educator I have learned to identify the patterns in which some injuries present themselves and become more attuned to my clients' concerns. I have developed techniques to apply my skills in a customized way for each individual to advance their recovery from injury.

With over 25 years of clinical practice I have helped many people rehabilitate from a wide variety of injuries. Patients play an active role in their recovery and my job is to make sure they stay on course. My experience has allowed me to develop exceptional clinical reasoning and manual therapy skills that benefit all of my patients.

I have over 20 years of clinical experience, treating the spectrum of musculoskeletal issues. I have also taught physiotherapy clinical skills, both as an adjunct lecturer at the University of Toronto’s Department of Physical Therapy, and as an instructor in post graduate courses. This extensive combination of academic foundations and practical application has allowed me to develop comprehensive, individualized treatment programs for my clients, helping them to successfully achieve their goals.

In my 20+ years of being a Physiotherapist, and in obtaining my Diploma of Advanced Integrated Musculoskeletal physiotherapy, I have become a much more skilled and focused clinician who can think more critically and identify different patterns of injuries. My hands have become much more sensitive, which helps in identifying specific joint and tissue restrictions. I look forward to continuing to learn from my clients and using both my experience and education in helping them achieve their goals.

I am completing advanced training in musculoskeletal physiotherapy at Western University, building on my experience in sports medicine and treating athletes at various levels. I have provided field-side coverage for national and varsity teams, including Football Canada and the Western Mustangs, and bring additional insight from my background in Olympic weightlifting. By combining manual therapy, individualized exercise programs, and patient education, I help clients recover effectively, move with confidence, and return to the activities that matter most to them.

With over 20 years of experience as a personal trainer and movement specialist, I help clients improve strength, mobility, and confidence through personalized, whole-body programs. I focus on identifying movement patterns and compensations that may contribute to pain or limit performance, tailoring sessions to each client’s needs and goals. My approach is collaborative and practical, emphasizing consistency and small wins. I’m committed to making movement sustainable, and I continue to learn from every client I work with.
