My journey into pelvic floor physiotherapy started with a curiosity about the powerhouse of stability and function – the pelvic floor! I strive to empower clients with the knowledge and tools needed to optimize their health and well-being, and am continually drawn to the challenge of helping individuals reach their goals, overcome discomfort, and improve their quality of life.
My passion lies in caring for those throughout their perinatal and post-partum journeys, as well as working with those with issues pertaining to sexual health and pelvic pain. Employing a client-centred approach to care, my goal is to educate my clients on how components of their physical anatomy, life experiences, and lifestyle are intertwined, ultimately impacting their pelvic health.
Seeing individuals reclaim their confidence, resume their daily activities without fear, and embrace life with renewed vigor is my ultimate goal.
Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, baking, volunteering in the community, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and spending time with my wonderful circle of family and friends.

I received my M.Sc in Physiotherapy from the University of Toronto in 2010. Early on in my career, I was lucky enough to experience a variety of different work environments, including orthopaedics, paediatrics, geriatrics and home based care. I first became interested in pelvic floor physiotherapy after experiencing my own pelvic health challenges following the birth of my first child in 2015. Experiencing the positive impact of pelvic floor rehab first hand, made me want to be able to help other people in my community who might also be struggling with their pelvic health. Since then, I have extended my training to allow me to work with children with bowel and bladder challenges (including bed wetting, encopresis and more) and breast/chest feeding families struggling with blocked ducts, mastitis and latch struggles (secondary to tongue tie etc). This has allowed me to combine my love for pelvic floor rehab with my love of working with children! I strive to provide inclusive, compassionate and client centred care, as well as practicing through a Health at Every Size ®️ (HAES®️) lens.
Outside of my practice, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two young children, being in nature, crocheting, sewing (or any kind of craft, really!) and practicing yoga and meditation.
