Email: [email protected] FOR NEW PATIENTS : when booking a new assessment, it is highly recommended that you book at least one follow up appt approx 7-10 days after your initial session. If it turns out that this is not needed, adjustments can be made. This will help ensure continuity of care. **ALL PATIENTS** : Please note that I only open my schedule for booking approximately 2 months in advance. If you do not see appts available beyond a specific date it is likely because I am fully booked for the next two months and have not yet opened up my schedule beyond this. I encourage you to keep checking back regularly for new spots. In addition, you can add your name to my wait list. ABOUT ME : My passion is helping people learn how to move better and to be able to do the activities they love freely. I strongly believe in empowering my clients and providing them with the knowledge and tools to help manage any of their concerns. While I work with and treat a wide range of clients and conditions, my area of interest and speciality is working with runners of all levels with lower extremity and running related injuries. When not in the clinic, I can be found trail running, mountain biking or climbing with my husband throughout the North Shore/Sea to Sky corridor and beyond.
