Cynara offers compassionate, evidence-based care for female and pediatric pelvic health clients, as well as rehabilitation-focused Clinical Pilates for clients of all genders. She completed her Physiotherapy degree in Brazil in 2002, followed by post-baccalaureate training in gynecology, urogynecology, and urinary incontinence. Since moving to Canada in 2016, she has continued to expand her training in pelvic health, orthopaedics, pain management, and rehabilitation, including a Graduate Certificate in Bridging to Canadian Physical Therapy from the University of Alberta. Her areas of special interest include urinary and bowel incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse and pessary management, chronic pelvic pain and sexual pain, pregnancy and postpartum recovery, pediatric pelvic health, and pre- and post-operative pelvic care.

Her care may incorporate education, movement-based rehabilitation, biofeedback, Clinical Pilates, hypopressive exercise, and visceral mobilization, depending on each client’s needs and goals. Warm, respectful, and highly collaborative, Cynara is passionate about helping clients better understand their bodies, feel heard in their concerns, and gain confidence in their recovery.
