I have been working in this downtown Toronto neighbourhood since 2013. Our clinic aims to complement the shared passion for active living and vitality that exists within the community. Our goal is to be able to offer a team of dedicated health professionals who can bring balance to your body and help you feel better today and in the days to come. During my youth, I actively participated in rugby and weight training, which unfortunately resulted in various injuries. It was through these experiences that I discovered the immense value of chiropractic care. Not only did my chiropractor provide me with a deep understanding of my injuries, but they also offered the necessary treatment and rehabilitation to get me back on the field. These experiences inspired me to become a chiropractor and excel in the undergraduate chiropractic program. In 2006, I furthered my education by completing the post-graduate program in the Chiropractic Clinical Sciences at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College, earning the title of Fellow of the College of Chiropractic Sciences in 2011. I have also been a personal trainer since 2005. From 2019-2023, I had been an Advanced Practice Provider for the Low Back Rapid Access Clinics for patients with long-standing low back pain who were referred by their medical doctors for a comprehensive assessment and treatment plan including education and evidence-based self-management plans. The program was designed to decrease the prevalence of unmanageable chronic low back pain, reduce unnecessary diagnostic imaging and unnecessary specialist referral. Today, I combine my expertise as a clinical chiropractic specialist and background as a personal trainer to provide a patient-centred approach. I work closely with patients, educating them on how to correct their stationary postures and movement patterns to maximize healing in the short term and prevent future recurrences of pain. Recognizing that each individual has a unique health, social, environmental, and functional history, I develop customized treatment plans tailored to their specific needs. My approach includes a functional rehabilitation-based approach with hands-on chiropractic adjustments, various forms of soft tissue therapy, acupuncture, custom foot orthotics, postural correction, and lifestyle education. My ultimate aim is to help patients return to their full potential for work, play, and activities of daily living, ultimately bringing balance back into their lives. In addition to my professional pursuits, I also lead an active and healthy lifestyle. I enjoy weight training, running, and cycling, both on roads and on trails.
