Hi! First things first, my name is pronounced "Keeva". My family is from Northern Ireland and my name is Gaelic. This is always the first question I receive when I meet someone new so I thought we would get that out of the way first. From a young age I knew I wanted to be a Physiotherapist because I was enamoured by the way these professionals knew how to fix me when I was injured from playing sports. I spent my childhood competing at an elite level both in soccer and figure skating. It wasn't until my nineteenth year that I gave up the dream to be in the Olympics to pursue a university education. I studied Biology in New Hampshire while on a soccer scholarship and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Biology Magna Cum Laude. From there I went on to Daemen College in Amherst, NY to study Physiotherapy. I graduated in 2010 with a Doctorate of Physical Therapy. Since then, I have been assisting people in their journeys to recovery and honing my skill set along the way. From relieving someone of their pain, to facilitating their return to sport/exercise, to reaching a goal they never thought possible, is by far the most rewarding aspect of my job, I would say I have a special interest in shoulder injuries and cervical spine injuries, however I treat everything. I share my life with my partner and our 4 beautiful girls. We spend a lot of our time with our extended family and dancing in the kitchen!
