What is your background and education ?

After formal education studies in Human Kinetics, Child Studies, and Gerontology,  I received my B.Sc. (Hons) in Physical Therapy from the University of Toronto in 1989.

Throughout my years of practice,  I have enjoyed my love of ongoing learning,  attending countless professional and other chosen interest courses and workshops.  An extensive toolbox is available to help my clients,  with experience gained in many areas including orthopedics,  neurology,  pain management,  bone density,  mindfulness and sleep health,  and management of special populations such as osteoporosis.

I am a Certified Yoga teacher (Hatha Alignment based yoga)  which she incorporates with patients and hopes to make more accessible to special populations such as Osteoporosis and Parkinson’s.

What inspired you to become a physiotherapist ?

Physiotherapy entered my world when I volunteered in grade 7 and 8 at a children’s centre.     I witnessed how Physiotherapy helped children gain independence in sitting, standing and walking.  The smiles of achievement and empowerment the Physiotherapist’s created inspired me to pursue it as a profession.  I wanted to help others in this way.

Why did you choose to work at InsideOut ?

Moving from Kitchener to Toronto,  leaving an established Physiotherapy practice led me to Jennifer Howey from a mutual friend.  I was looking for a clinic that valued experience and that offered patient centered care.  I found it at InsideOut.   I feel privileged to be welcomed and part of this exceptional collaborative team of dedicated,  skilled,  knowledgeable colleagues and support staff.

What are you personally passionate about ?

Beginning every day writing in my journal grounds me for the day.  I am a writer of poetry and cherish time to read.   I enjoy getting out my watercolour pencils and draw, creating expressions mostly from nature and from my cherished cottage escape with the water, rocks, trees and birds.
