The Path That Shaped My Practice

My journey into physiotherapy wasn't merely academic—it was forged through personal experience. From competitive soccer and pursuing a Kinesiology degree at McMaster University to navigating my own significant injuries including debilitating disc herniations, I've experienced both sides of rehabilitation. This deep understanding, enriched by years of serving diverse communities including Burlington, Waterdown, and surrounding areas, shapes my empathetic and effective approach to care.

These moments of vulnerability transformed my professional purpose, leading me to complete a Master's in Physiotherapy from Robert Gordon University with distinction. My education, combined with firsthand experience as a patient, has deeply informed my approach to care, particularly in delivering personalized treatment to those I've had the privilege to work with in 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."

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.
