No! You don’t need a referral! Please note that with some insurance companies you may need a prescription for physiotherapy.

The first assessment will include: 

• a conversation about you! (your general health, movement, previous injuries, current pains, what have you done so far etc! ) 

• a detailed assessment ( i will assess the areas of your body that are more relevant to your pains - assessing range of motion, strength, how you move, how you like to stand…) 

• Treatment (this could look like manual therapy, exercise, cranio-sacral, acupuncture) 

• Reassessment - see how your body responds 

• Discuss goals & you will receive an email regarding goals and a movement plan to start!

45 or 60 mins

Please wear clothes that you are comfortable in and can move in!

Yes, ideally we could do an in-person assessment first and then do follow ups virtually as needed.

I do not direct bill but will send you a receipt after the session that you can submit to your insurance! If you have any issues with submitting I am happy to help you for the first few times!

CST is used for headaches, neck pain, recurring pain, relaxation &  supporting your nervous system.

GUNN IMS focuses on diagnosis &  treatment of persistent myofascial pain syndromes ( chronic pain conditions in the musculoskeletal system when there is no sign of injury & inflamation) . The approach uses intramuscular dry needling, is based on the neuropathic dysfunction model developed by Dr Chan Gunn out of the University of British Columbia

This is a modern adaptation of traditional acupuncture with the nervous system in mind that uses small electrical currents passed between pairs of acupuncture needles.

Pilates is an amazing way to bring awareness into your body and truly understand how to isolate movements and target specific areas. Pilates and Eldoa to me are the power combo that helps us learn and explore movement.

First we will do a thorough initial assessment usually involving a full scan head to toe, so I can understand the main takeaways specifically for you that we need to work on. Even if it's not an area you feel pain, it may be affecting the problem areas or causing inefficient movement for you day to day. After this I will look at how you move - starting with bigger generalized movements and then getting more specific. At this point I will have a list of goals/priorities that I will plan to focus on in our following sessions.

Created by Guy Voyer - a world renowned Osteopath. ELDOA is an incredible exercise technique that creates length and strength throughout the spine and around different joints in our bodies. It is very effortful as it requires one to create tension above and below the area we want to decompress (create space in). In particular it is very effective for posture, restriction in a joint or area of the spine and hypermobility.

Our sessions will be focused! Your nervous system &  movement quality will be prioritized. I greatly care about you understanding and learning about your body as that is a key part of rehabbing from an injury. You will leave sessions with updated programs with detailed videos explaining movement concepts/exercises.

We will talk for awhile so I can better understand what has been going on for you and your body! Then we will assess your movement, strength, range of motion etc (this varies depending on what the symptoms / injury is). From there we will get into treatment - there are various options from exercise, manual therapy, acupuncture. I will make a recommendation of clinically what directions are best to go in for treatment. But for example if you prefer to not do acupuncture - all good! we have many other tools/approaches.

Definitely ! There is a lot we can do to support you on this. An assessment will be done to see how we can best treat/work on these areas. Many people come to physiotherapy for preventative care or when they feel a pain is starting up but there was no acute/ traumatic injury

Yes I do, currently I am not holding regular weekly classes. I teach 1 soundbath/mediation class every month.

I do offer workplace wellness classes as well :)

is a meditative experience where participants surrounded by sound waves produced by instruments such as crystal singing bowls, chimes, sinsula, gongs & tuning forks.

Participants usually lay down or are in a supported seated position. The faciliator will play instruments in a way that is deeply relaxing. Often people get into a deep meditative state & lose track of time/space.

Benefits can include: deep relaxation, reduced stress, better sleep, emotional release/clarity, decrease anxiety
