Peak Physiotherapy & Wellness

1600 King Street North, 10, St. Jacobs, ON, N0B2N0

My love of physiotherapy started at the age of 12, thanks to a severe back injury I sustained through my “career” as a competitive gymnast. I was fortunate enough to have an amazing physiotherapist—with a passion for teaching—that got me back to my sport, but also opened my eyes to the bewilderment and wonder of our incredible bodies. Since then, I have been on a path to help others through movement -as I was. This led me to pursue and complete my Bachelor of Science Honors Kinesiology with a minor in Rehabilitation Sciences in 2018 from the University of Waterloo. I then went on to earn my Master of Physical Therapy in 2020 from Western University. Since graduating I have continued my education through various post-graduate courses including, concussion management, vestibular rehabilitation, advanced manual and manipulative orthopedics, pediatric and infant gross motor development, and level 1 traditional acupuncture through Acupuncture Canada. In addition, I have completed my certification in Integrated Dry Needling Acupuncture. Due to my background as a personal trainer and artistic gymnastics coach, my first love in physiotherapy has always been orthopedics and sport specific training. However, since physiotherapy school I have had a special interest in treating pediatrics/infants and patients with neurological injuries. I have since had years of experience treating various orthopedic conditions as well as conditions such as, delay motor milestones, torticollis, plagiocephaly, toe walking, low tone, mild traumatic brain injuries, acquired brain injuries, concussion, stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, Functional Neurological Disorder, etc. I have treated a variety of patients of all ages as well as professional acrobatics, Canadian athletes and aspiring and retired professional athletes. What I love about being a physiotherapist is that I get an opportunity with each patient to teach them something new about their own body so they can be an active participant in their recovery. Using a collaborative goal-oriented approach, I will help lead you to your peak health and fitness with a combination of manual therapy, exercise, traditional acupuncture, dry needling, cupping, education and neurological facilitation (as needed). Outside of the clinic you can find me standing on my hands, hanging off a rock wall (indoors and outdoors), flipping through the air with my acrobatic partners, attending hot yoga/Pilates, making stain glass suncatchers, learning to cook (better) from my brilliant best friend, running (even in the winter), and cuddling with my dog Roscoe.
