A passion for health and wellness led me down the paths of both kinesiology & osteopathy. 

​

I studied kinesiology at the University of Windsor and was fortunate to be accepted into their co-op program where I had many hands-on learning experiences during clinical placements in various rehabilitation centres across Ontario.  I graduated the 4 2/3 year program with honours, with a major in Movement Science.  After more than 10 years of amazing experiences helping people recover from many conditions, I decided to fulfill my inner passions and return to school.  After completing the accelerated Diploma in Manual Osteopathy for health care professionals, I wanted to dive deeper into this fascinating field and enrolled in the Doctor of Osteopathy (Euro) program.  These full-time programs allowed me to meet the World Health Organization's requirement of 1000 hours of practical experience.  I completed my thesis on the Sacroiliac Joint - arguably the most common site of back pain.

I believe having a thorough understanding of the many aspects of dysfunction or pain helps me to best help my patients.  My repertoire of continuing education includes:

Advanced Cranial Osteopathy

Concussion/ Post Concussion

Visceral (Organs) Manipulation

Lymphatic Restoration Therapy, Cranial Lympathac Balancing

Neurostim Therapy (acupuncture with microcurrent)

Scar Release Therapy

Photobiomodulation ~ Low Level Laser Therapy

 

 My ambitions also led me to complete:

200-hour Yoga Teacher Certification

Health Coach Certification (American Council on Exercise)  

​

After seeing the incredible ability of the BioFlex Laser to accelerate healing and reduce or even eliminate pain, I decided to add this to my practice. I am a Certified Laser Therapist with Master Class and also a Certified Neurostim/ MPS Therapy Clinician.  This incredible tool combines the ancient science of acupuncture with modern technology, and I've seen it stop pain in it's tracks.

​

In my practice, I combine my knowledge of anatomy and function to encourage the body to self-regulate. Finding a balance point will allow the body to function optimally. This is where the body is equipped to heal. Ending pain is a top priority, which is why I’ve put so much time and effort into advancing my education, practice and techniques.
