A little bit about me:

Growing up in a developing country taught me the importance of keeping therapy practical, affordable, and flexible because every client’s situation is different. I’m all about making each session count while staying focused on what matters most to the families I work with. I really value the time, trust, and effort my clients put into physiotherapy, and my goal is to give them the tools and support they need to feel confident managing their curves.

I’m here to grow with my clients and be there for them through the wins, the setbacks, and everything in between.

What to expect in a session with me:

I strive for collaborative connections with my clients, working to understand each curve together, find what’s valuable to each person, and breaking down the complexities and factors of each curve.

I’m committed to learning together with and from my clients, and applying my experiences to create a holistic approach to health management. I appreciate treating clients who already find value in what they do, and am passionate about supporting and encouraging others to also see their own value.

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.

• Barcelona Scoliosis Physical Therapy School – Basic Course – November 2020
• UBC Master of Physical Therapy, 2020

A little bit about me:

I am the 4th generation of my family born & raised in small North West Coastal city of Prince Rupert – a notoriously wet and friendly community! I felt deeply rooted and connected to the people there growing up but always wanted to explore the diverse opportunities and learnings of a bigger city. I am grateful that TSC has offered me the opportunity create a connected community in “the big city”, across the country, and even the world that feels like home! My family always had strong matriarchal figures whom I looked up to for many reasons. I think about them often and it makes me very proud now to be a leader in our TSC family.

My interest in scoliosis and initial drive to join The ScoliClinic came from personal experience. I was diagnosed with scoliosis when I was nine, wore a brace for the majority of my pre-teen/teenage years, and had a surgery related to my scoliosis at age ten. Though this created a number of struggles that were at the times overwhelming for myself and my family, I can now look back on it with gratitude as it is what has brought me to such a meaningful career.

Whether it be in my role as a physiotherapist or Director of Education, I have the opportunity to have an impact on other with shared experiences every day. Each massive or tiny win I am privileged to share with my clients and team members shows me the positive ripples turned tidal waves my scoliosis offered. I hope to share this with everyone I touch with in my work at The ScoliClinic!

What to expect in a session with me:

I value collaboration – I may be formally educated on scoliosis but believe each client is the expert on themselves and their life, so I ask for a lot of input when creating treatment plans.

My sessions are education-focused – I’ve found that many past “failures” with treatments come from a mis-match in understanding the “why” behind exercises or recommendations. Most people don’t do something just because someone told them to! This is reflected in all the time spent learning and exploring in treatment sessions, not just exercising or doing manual therapy. This goes both ways – we’ll have a lot more success (however that looks for you) if I can understand your “why” when it comes to getting connected with TSC.

I’m authentic – I love what I do, even when there are tricky days, I hope people who interact with me can feel that.
