I have been a registered massage therapist since 2019, starting my career in Southern Ontario.
Growing up, I used to train as a competitive artistic swimmer and suffered various injuries ranging from a torn meniscus to several spinal strains, and eventually retired from the sport. Massage therapy was a huge part of my rehabilitation program. When it came time to choose my career, I decided to pursue massage therapy and I couldn’t be happier with my choice.
My practice focuses on perinatal care and pelvic health but I still enjoy treating a wide variety of conditions. I use various techniques including stretching, passive movements, trigger point release, and joint mobilizations during my treatments. I’ve also been known to be a “jack of all trades” when it comes to my practice as I prefer to tailor my client’s treatments to their individual goals. I am now offering cupping treatments for those that would like and benefit from this modality.

My goal as a chiropractor and health mentor is to provide you with education and encouragement on your journey to movement. It is my ultimate goal to get you ACTIVE and FUNCTIONAL. The biggest detriment to people’s health that I see on a daily basis is a lack of movement, and the plethora of negative health effects that go along with a sedentary lifestyle. My excitement to guide your movement journey and keep you living your best life is what drives me to wake up every day and treat the wonderful residents of Cochrane and surrounding area.
The scope of musculoskeletal practice is broad: jaw pain, headaches, spinal pain, body asymmetries, rotator cuff injuries, knee/hand/wrist/ /foot and ankle injuries, running and gait assessment, breath work, strength and mobility guidance, I can help with it all, and that’s why a patient’s goals are always of paramount importance with every individualized treatment offered.
At our Cochrane clinic, treatment will NOT just consist of a spinal adjustment. Going to school for over 7 years and completing numerous post-graduate courses since, I have so much more to offer you than an adjustment. An adjustment is just one tool (one input) of so many options we have as manual practitioners to aid your body in recovery and optimal performance. I am dedicated to assessing and diagnosing your issue, providing your nervous system with diversified hands on inputs, and then giving you guidance to solidify these inputs with strength, mobility, and movement practice.
I grew up as an elite athlete, and appreciate the unfailing dedication, work ethic, time management, and passion that it takes to continue in a chosen sport or fine art. I hope to give back to the athletic and fine arts community with my ever growing and expanding expertise in the musculoskeletal system, injury prevention and management, and rehabilitation
One of my other passions as a Chiropractor is pregnancy care. Cochrane has so many new young families that require a solid team of health practitioners to promote a comfortable, caring, and knowledgeable space for unanswered questions and health support. My goal is to safely and effectively prepare a woman’s musculoskeletal system for pregnancy, labor, and postpartum, and to be a continued base of knowledge and support throughout a woman’s pregnancy and postpartum journey. Whether you are thinking of becoming a mom, or gave birth years ago, there are likely some lingering issues that could use improvement; from C-section scarring, pelvic floor and core weakness, sacral and low back irritation, or bladder incontinence.
A born and raised Albertan, I enjoy a multitude of indoor and outdoor athletics, specifically in the areas of triathlon and trail running. My goal is to continue pushing my limits in these activities, while still enjoying the complimentary movement practices of barre, yoga, hiking and cross country skiing. I am currently accepting new patients and welcome you!
