Helping you reach your goals and get back to doing the activities you love is what I strive for! I am a Saskatchewan girl at heart who fell in love with the mountains when I moved to Alberta for the winter nearly 2 decades ago, and never left. That year, I discovered what physiotherapy was by visiting a clinic in Canmore. I fell in love with the idea of helping people return to their activities and sport, and decided that summer that this was what I truly was meant to do!

I graduated from the University of Alberta with my MScPT in 2013, following my BKin in 2008 from the University of Calgary. Practicing as a registered physiotherapist, I have worked extensively in private practice working with various musculoskeletal conditions. My experience ranges from motor vehicle accidents, work-related injuries and preventative work injury management, post-operative rehab, general sprains and sprains, and sport-related injuries, most recently specific to climbing related injuries.

I have a special interest in climbing related injuries and injury prevention, being an avid climber over the past decade, both competitive and recreational, and experiencing injury myself.

Since graduating, I have continued to take courses to advance my orthopaedic skills, including certification in anatomical acupuncture and biomedical dry needling. I have also completed my level 3 manual therapy course through the orthopaedic division of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association. Other advanced manual therapy courses include ART for the upper extremity, sacra-iliac and pelvic complex, and Mulligan technique. I am currently completing a post graduate course in Diagnostic imaging, and have a strong interest in continuing to pursue additional advanced manual therapy courses.

My approach to rehab is centred around active participation and movement and includes patient education as the foundation for everything else, including progressive functional exercises, as well as manual therapy. I believe in empowering my patients through education and supporting them with the evidence-based tools they need to help themselves get stronger, and reach their goals.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my family, running, climbing at the local gym or going on bouldering trips, snowboarding, water sports, and watching supercross!
