I’ve always been fascinated by anatomy and human movement. An exercise science class in high school, along with my love of weightlifting, sparked a passion for understanding how our bodies perform, recover, and heal. This interest led me to study Human Kinetics at the University of Guelph, where I also worked as a personal trainer and became more aware of the pain many people live with day to day. Wanting to continue down the path of rehabilitation, I went on to the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy, where I spent four years learning to assess and treat the body as a whole. I love that no two patients are ever the same, and that each body is a unique puzzle to solve. Mentoring under one of the Academy’s professors helped refine my approach to care, allowing me to work more effectively with all layers of the body. I enjoy exploring each person’s unique story and identifying the root cause of their discomfort. Recently, my husband and I moved to Victoria BC with our dog, Charlie, and I’m excited to be getting to know this community. Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, weight training, and relaxing with a coffee and a good thriller. In my treatments, you can expect to gain a better understanding of what’s happening in your body, along with a clear plan for how we’ll work together to reduce strain on the structures causing discomfort. My approach is gentle, non-invasive, and focused on helping you move more freely with less pain.

Initial 60 Minute Osteopathy Appointment

For new patients. Your appointment includes reviewing your health history forms, developing a treatment plan, obtaining consent to treatment, assessing how best we can help, and then providing hands-on manual therapy. Osteopathy is a gentle, hands-on form of manual therapy that views the body as one connected system. Rather than focusing only on where pain is felt, treatment aims to understand what is contributing to it. By improving movement, relieving tension, and reducing strain throughout different tissues, osteopathy helps address the root cause of discomfort and supports the body’s natural ability to function, heal, and create lasting change. Osteopathic Practitioners treat people of all ages, from newborns to seniors. If you are experiencing pain or dysfunction, or want to take preventative measures to improve your health, Osteopathy can help you reach your health goals.
