A little about me:

I was born and raised in North Vancouver. At age 13, I was diagnosed with scoliosis. With my curve already quite advanced at the time of diagnosis, I was advised to wait for surgical intervention, with no bracing or other conservative management options offered in the meantime. At age 15, I underwent spinal fusion surgery.

The physiotherapists who guided me through my hospital recovery left a lasting impression on me and sparked my interest in becoming a physiotherapist. However, when I returned home, I found myself struggling with unanswered questions about my changed body, its potential for movement, and what my life would look like going forward.

Years later, I discovered The ScoliClinic, where I experienced first-hand how scoliosis-specific treatment could enhance both my quality of life and my confidence in my own body. Until then, I had believed that fusion surgery marked the end of my scoliosis journey. However, after learning what I did at TSC, I came to realize there was still so much more that I could do to optimize my health and wellbeing. This shift in perspective not only highlighted how I could play an active role in my treatment but also solidified my passion for supporting others with spinal conditions, ultimately inspiring me to join the team!

When not at work, you’ll often find me outside playing sports (volleyball, pickleball, running, swimming, weightlifting), spending time with my dog, going to concerts and movies, or reading a good book. Feel free to ask me how my yearly Goodreads reading challenge is going!

What to expect in a session with me:

Living with scoliosis, hyperkyphosis, and other spinal conditions can impact how we move and feel in our bodies. Although these conditions may share similarities, every person’s experience is unique, which is why I strive to personalize treatment to your specific needs and goals – whether it’s building strength, improving posture and mobility, increasing participation, or reducing pain, we will work together to determine a plan that is best for you.

My goal is to empower you with knowledge and tools needed to better understand and manage your condition, while helping you move with greater confidence. I am committed to creating an inclusive space where clients from all walks of life feel welcome.

I look forward to being a part of your health and wellness journey!

A little bit about me:

I was raised amidst the natural beauty of Langley, BC, where my passion for knowledge began early. Before the days of Google, I would frequently subject the adults around me to my questions, which often led to me being sent to the library to complete my own research.

This early curiosity sparked my journey into the Sciences. After completing my Bachelor of Kinesiology, I pursued a Master of Science in Neuromuscular Physiology. My research in this field was truly fulfilling, but it lacked the human connection that I was craving. This is why I chose to become a Physiotherapist.

I am beyond excited to be working at The ScoliClinic with people who have scoliosis, hyperkyphosis and/or postural asymmetries. Having grown up with a minor curve myself, I find comfort being able to work in a space where people of all ages can learn about their curve(s) and engage in treatment options to optimize their health and well-being.

What to expect in a treatment session with me:

Scoliosis and hyperkyphosis involve more than just our spine or even our body, which is why I take a holistic approach in my sessions. I prioritize taking the time to learn about your goals, experiences, needs, and concerns, so that we can work together to develop a treatment approach that best suits you and your lifestyle.

I enjoy working with folks from diverse backgrounds and see individuals in all age groups, including young children and older adults. As an energetic and caring practitioner, I am eager to support, encourage, and empower you in your life’s journey with scoliosis.

A little bit about me:

I was born and raised in the lower mainland of BC, and was diagnosed with scoliosis at age nine. I wore a brace for three years until I was told I would require corrective spinal fusion surgery at age 13. After two years on the surgical waitlist, I finally received the operation at age 15. While I remained active and healthy throughout the course of my treatment, I wasn’t ever aware of options for me to actively participate in my treatment.

I first discovered TSC while in Physio School – They taught me more about my scoliosis in 1 hour than I had learned in the 13 years since my initial diagnosis. I immediately felt empowered in my ability to understand and care for my own body and health. I wanted to pass this along to others living with spinal conditions, so decided to join the team!

In my first 3 years working at The ScoliClinic I have been inspired by the resilience of this community and the positive change they have been able to make in their lives when equipped with the necessary tools. Working with TSC allows me to utilize education, exercise prescription, manual therapy, and dry needling to support others along their journey.

What to expect in a session with me:

I utilize both my formal training and personal experience to support clients in reaching their goals and independently managing their health & well-being. My practice is largely movement-based, and I develop exercise plans to be unique to each person, their curve/spine, and their personal needs. I consider myself to be energetic yet calm, and you’ll likely receive a lot of encouragement from me as I want to empower you to actively care for yourself.

I strive to create an inclusive practice so that each client and their family members feel welcomed, seen, and heard. Your opinions and preferences about your treatment really matter, as your level of emotional comfort and safety are important to me.
