Danielle is a Registered Physiotherapist with over 23 years of experience and a lifelong passion for human anatomy and movement. Her journey began at the University of Victoria, where a serendipitous human anatomy course sparked her fascination with the musculoskeletal system. After completing a Bachelor of Science in Biology in 1996 and spending a few years travelling, she earned her Bachelor of Science in Physiotherapy from the University of British Columbia in 2002. Her post-grad training and clinical interests are very diverse, which has given Danielle a wide lens perspective through which to assess and treat people. Her absolute favorite areas to treat are complex pelvic and low back dysfunction, pelvic pain (including coccyx, sexual, menstrual, peri-menopausal, and pregnancy-related pain), incontinence, and constipation. Danielle also has a special interest in upper cervical (neck) dysfunction and headaches and is currently completing a research-based Master’s degree (University of Otago) focused on ligamentous assessment of the upper neck. Her passion to learn and be curious influences her style of treatment which is very hands-on and education focussed, always asking “why?”, and working on big picture treatment and prevention. Danielle has worked extensively in rural and remote communities, including 12 years running her own private practice in Gold River, BC and the past decade practicing in Gisborne, New Zealand. She is a licensed Physiotherapist in Canada, New Zealand, and Australia. Outside the clinic, she enjoys travelling, yoga, hiking, mountain biking, gardening, eating dark chocolate, and planning her next adventure. Danielle is a proud mum of three amazing adult daughters, and is a new resident of Cumberland with her husband.
