The Path That Shaped My Practice

My path to physiotherapy began through personal experience. While playing competitive soccer and studying Kinesiology at McMaster University, I suffered significant injuries including disc herniations that required extensive rehabilitation. That challenging recovery journey gave me firsthand insight into what patients truly go through - the frustration, the setbacks, and ultimately the triumphs. Now serving Burlington, Waterdown, and surrounding areas, I combine professional expertise with genuine empathy born from my own recovery experience.

This experience shaped my approach when I pursued my Master's in Physiotherapy at Robert Gordon University. Having been through the recovery process myself, I understand the importance of clear communication, realistic expectations, and genuine support throughout Halton Region and beyond.

Personal Insight
From Patient to Practitioner
"Having sat on both sides of the treatment table, I recognize the profound difference between being processed through a system and being truly understood."
— K.H.

Philosophy of Practice

Root Cause Resolution

I don't just treat symptoms; I investigate underlying movement patterns to address what's truly driving your pain.

Collaborative Partnership

Your input is key. I listen, explain clearly, and involve you in every treatment decision.

Personalized Progression

Recovery isn't linear. Your treatment evolves with you, adapting to optimize your unique healing journey.

What Drives My Practice

Lived Experience

My practice is grounded in firsthand experience, both as a clinician and as someone who has personally worked through recovery. That perspective gives me a deep understanding of what meaningful care requires: attentiveness, respect, and a commitment to walking beside you every step of the way.

Thoughtful, Individualized Care

Every treatment plan is shaped by close observation, clinical insight, and a deep appreciation for your unique needs. I combine advanced manual therapy and movement science with precision and care, ensuring your progress is always intentional, responsive, and clearly guided.

Your Healthcare Advocate

I approach care with the same rigour I would expect for myself or my loved ones. Whether it's explaining options, coordinating next steps, or thinking beyond the treatment table, I work to ensure you feel supported, informed, and genuinely cared for at every stage of the process.
