I don’t just understand sports injuries from a textbook. I understand the psychological toll of being sidelined. I played collegiate football, competing at the junior level on Vancouver Island and the CIS level for the University of Alberta. During my career, I suffered an Achilles rupture. If you’ve ever had a severe injury, you know the exact feeling: your body betrays you, and you lose a piece of your identity. Discovering chiropractic care during my intense Achilles rehab wasn’t just about pain relief - it was about getting my life back. My chiropractor helped me rebuild my mechanics so I could return to the field and play at a high level. That specific feeling, the profound relief of returning to your authentic self, is exactly why I became a chiropractor. I want every patient who walks into my office to feel the same way. To understand the human body, you have to understand how it moves. I graduated with a Bachelor of Kinesiology from the University of Alberta and then attended the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto, where I graduated Cum Laude. My passion for this work drives me to innovate and expand my understanding of human biomechanics continually. My approach to care is to find the root cause of the gridlock in your body. I have extensive experience fixing structural issues from the ground up. I don’t just adjust; I look at the entire musculoskeletal system. In addition to precise chiropractic adjustments, I specialize in Western Needling with Electrical Stimulation; this isn’t a spa treatment. It is a highly targeted intervention designed to release chronic muscle tension, reset neurological pathways, and accelerate the healing of stubborn injuries. Whether you are a tradesman grinding through a heavy week, a desk worker with chronic neck tension, or an athlete looking to optimize performance, my goal is to rebuild your structural integrity. When I am not in the clinic, you won’t find me sitting still. Fitness and a healthy lifestyle have always been my foundation. Whether I am pushing limits in the gym or running outdoors, I believe the absolute most important thing you can do is move your body every single day. I am always striving to improve myself, from dialling in my weekly meal prep to spending quality time with my family and my brother’s dog, Remi. An active body is a resilient body, and I am always looking for the next challenge. Pain is just a signal that something is out of alignment. Don’t let it dictate your life. Let’s find the source, fix the mechanics, and get you back to doing what you love.
