Hi, I’m Carla! – Registered Physiotherapist When I was first introduced to the world of pelvic health in 2004, I was immediately drawn to the compassionate nature of this specialized area of physiotherapy, along with the concept of treating the whole person, rather than simply treating one problem or symptom. I graduated from the University of Western Ontario with a Bachelor of Health Sciences Degree (Honours) in 2004. I obtained my Masters of Science in Physical Therapy from the University of Alberta in 2009. After completing my Masters of Physiotherapy, I spent a year treating orthopedic and athletic injuries before giving birth to my beautiful daughter in 2010. This first pregnancy and labour and delivery experience was profoundly different from that of my subsequent two babies. While not all my memories around this time are positive, I am grateful for these experiences for many reasons. Not only has my pregnancy/postpartum journey shaped me as a person, but I believe it has made me a more compassionate and empathetic physiotherapist. In 2011, I completed the McMaster University Medical Acupuncture Program and pursued my first specialized Pelvic Health Training. Since then, I have taken numerous courses to further my understanding of (and fuel my passion for) treating various pelvic health conditions. My clinical interests include women’s health, pelvic health, medical acupuncture, orthopedics, and sports rehabilitation. I am registered with the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario. I am also a member of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association (CPA), Ontario Physiotherapy Association, and the Women’s Health Division of the CPA. The thing that I love most about my job is getting to know my clients and their stories, and then helping them to achieve meaningful quality-of-life improvements. Each person is unique, and I am constantly learning from my clients. When I’m not at work, you’ll find me at the rink watching my kids, playing volleyball, drinking a good cup of coffee (hopefully still hot!), or snuggled up at home reading a book.
