Greetings! Here’s my bio to learn a little bit more about me.

I am a strong believer of compassionate client centered care and working with my clients in a way that resonates with you and your life. I take a whole person approach to my physiotherapy practice as a client led, humanist, trauma informed therapist.

I have a specific passion in birth preparation & post partum rehab, high level strength training, pediatric care, as well as guiding those experiencing persistent pain conditions. I am also passionate about supporting families through the transition into parenthood as a birth doula.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my two children and husband, cycling, hiking, Olympic and power lifting, yoga, meditation, and reading.

Hello! I’m Eliza. I’m a registered physiotherapist with a special interest in women’s health and pelvic health physiotherapy. My foray into Pelvic health physiotherapy began not as a therapist but as a patient. My firsthand experience of the benefits of Pelvic health physiotherapy and the positive influence it had on my quality of life motivated me to pursue further training in Pelvic health physiotherapy.

I graduated with a Masters in Physiotherapy degree in 2009 and started practicing in Canada in 2011 with a diverse orthopaedic caseload. Since 2015, I gradually transitioned to Pelvic health physiotherapy, focusing on treating women.

I have completed numerous courses over the past decade (see below). I have experience working with women of all ages, assisting them to overcome sexual health-related challenges, prepare for childbirth, return to exercise and activity after pregnancy and to age gracefully from peri to post menopause.

I strongly believe that optimal health is a combination of a healthy body, and a resilient spirit and mind. I use a whole person treatment approach that involves sensitive communication, education, manual therapy and individualized exercise prescription.

When I’m not practicing, I like traveling with my partner to off the beaten path destinations. I also enjoy all things artsy and craftsy.

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.
