Originally from Toronto, Natalie brings a passion for sports, exercise and rehabilitation to the clinic. Her experience working with a wide range of individuals and sports has inspired a passion for individualizing care for any patient that walks through the door. Whether you are looking to return to sport, work or get back to an activity that is meaningful to you, she would be excited to help you achieve your goals. Natalie began her undergraduate education at Oakland University (Michigan, USA) playing NCAA Division 1 soccer for two years. She then transferred to Western University and completed a Bachelor of Arts in Kinesiology and a Masters of Physiotherapy while playing for the Western Mustangs.

Additionally, she assisted other physiotherapists with coverage for Western football, soccer, wrestling, and track and field.
