As long as I can remember, I’ve always been fascinated by the human body's mechanics. Growing up, I was not just intrigued by science but also deeply moved by the possibility of alleviating pain and helping people feel their best. This curiosity laid the foundation for my future journey as a physiotherapist. My experience spans over 15 enriching years, in which I’ve sharpened my understanding of the human body and nurtured my empathetic approach to patient care. My commitment to helping a person feel whole or overcome a health challenge is stronger than ever. Driven by the need to always give the best to my patients, I pursued an M.Sc in Human Kinetics specializing in Biomechanics at the University of Ottawa and I have also done studies in Global Postural Re-education, Neuro-musculoskeletal Manual Therapy, Myofascial Induction, and Functional Dry Needling, among others
