"My aim is to provide a safe therapeutic space for rehabilitation to allow my patients to heal their mind, body and soul".

My Approach

I like to get to know my patients, listen to their story and learn about their lifestyle and goals. This allows me to process my patient's symptoms and concerns and understand the cause and the contributing factors relating to their symptoms. 

In my sessions, I aim to address the underlying cause of conditions and teach patients how to prevent reoccurrence of their symptoms. My goal is to teach and empower patients to understand their condition and learn how to listen and interpret messages from their body to allow self management. 

I have a special interest in holistic health, chronic pain, belief systems, pain psychology, and energy healing. I have extensive experience in the area of musculoskeletal and sports physiotherapy, dry needling, posture and biomechanics, exercise rehabilitation, acupuncture, and pain management. I frequently integrate all these elements, combining eastern and western medicine practices to treat holistically and empathetically, and meet my patient's needs during their acupuncture, physiotherapy dry needling, and movement therapy consults. 

 

l strive as a practitioner to provide kindness, positivity, understanding and compassion to help facilitate personal growth and change for my patients.

My goal is to be living a full life and teaching and inspiring others to do the same.
