She earned her Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from the University of Calgary before pursuing her Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree at the University of Pittsburgh. With over a year of clinical experience in the United States, Merlin has worked with a diverse patient population across various stages of rehabilitation. Her clinical background includes treating post-operative surgical patients, vestibular rehabilitation, return-to-work and workers’ compensation cases, return-to-sport rehabilitation, and supporting geriatric patients in restoring mobility and independence with activities of daily living. She is committed to delivering individualized, evidence-based care that empowers patients to achieve their functional goals, improve their overall quality of life, and promote long-term injury prevention and wellness.

Her approach to physiotherapy focuses not only on recovery, but also on education, injury prevention, and helping patients build long-term confidence in movement.
