Hi, I’m Mel!

I didn't come to this work from a textbook. I came to it through my own body.

In my 20s, I was overtraining for sports while quietly drowning in stress and my body started sending very loud signals. Pain. Injury. Anxiety. I spent months waiting for specialist appointments, hoping someone would finally give me an answer. No one really did. What they gave me were vague instructions, dismissive shrugs, and a growing fear that my body had become something I couldn't trust.

Then I found a trainer who changed everything. Not because she fixed me, but because she helped me understand what my body could still do. Working within my physical and mental tolerance, not against it. That shift was everything.

I became a physiotherapist because I wanted to be that person for others. Someone who explains what's actually happening, who moves at your pace, and who treats the whole picture, not just the painful part.

Today I run Terra 244 in Toronto, where I work with adults dealing with ongoing pain who feel frustrated, misunderstood, or just plain exhausted by the rehab merry-go-round. I've been in that chair. I know what it's like. And I'm here to help you find your way forward.
