About

I’m a Certified Athletic Therapist with a passion for helping people recover from injury, get out of pain and live the active lifestyle they strive for – whether that’s returning to competitive sport or keeping up with the grandkids.

I first found out about Athletic Therapy while completing a degree in Human Kinetics at the University of Ottawa. I was competing on the Cross Country and Track and Field team and, after sustaining my own series of injuries, I went to our varsity clinic for treatment and met an Athletic Therapist for the first time.

I was blown away. For the first time in years as a competitive athlete I felt someone finally took the time to find the cause and treat the cause of my injury – instead of yet another band aid solution. I learned that Athletic Therapists work in the clinic helping people recover from injury, in the field responding to sport medical emergencies and in the gym working on getting people moving and feeling their best.

I went on to complete a degree in Athletic Therapy at Sheridan College, and have since had the chance to work with people of all ages and abilities, from pediatrics to pro sports. This includes the Ottawa CFL Redblacks, Guelph women’s hockey and varsity clinic, University of Ottawa football, and Athlete Institute basketball academy.

My clinical practice is centered mostly on hands on therapy, exercise and mobility drills and patient education. I will work with you to create a treatment plan that fits your individual needs and lifestyle. If you’re curious about what a one on one session with me looks like, you can find more info here.

You can also find me on the sidelines of all sorts of sports games, tournaments and meets assisting athletes and keeping everyone safe. Find more info about sports event medical coverage here.

I currently operate out of Optimum Health in Smiths Falls, ON and offer First Responder and sports medical emergency coverage in Lanark, Ottawa and surrounding area.
