Biography

My passion for physiotherapy comes from a lifelong interest in movement, health, and helping people live active, fulfilling lives. For more than 15 years, I have been working in private practice, helping individuals recover from injury, manage pain, and return to the activities they love.

I believe the effective physiotherapy starts with listening. Every person has unique goals, challenges, and experiences, I enjoy partnering with my patients to create individualized treatment plans that fit their lifestyle. My approach combines hands- on therapy, therapeutic exercise, education.movement retraining, IMS, and acupuncture to help people move better, feel stronger, and build confidence in their bodies. 

I enjoy treating a wide variety of musculoskeletal conditions and have a particular interest in working with dancers, artistic athletes, and active individuals. I am also passionate about helping people with TMJ dysfunctions, headaches and neurological conditions improve their function, mobility, and quality of life. 

Over the years, I have lived in Krakow, Poland, Munster, Germany, Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Nanaimo, BC. Before working as a physiotherapist,  I worked as a Research Associate at the University of Manitoba, contributing to biochemistry and medical genetics research. That scientific foundation continues to influence my evidence- based approach to patient care today. 

Outside the clinic, I enjoy exploring different styles of dance, traveling, and spending time outdoors on long hikes with my dog Kiana. My goal is to empower people with the knowledge, tools, and support they need to move confidently and fully participate in the activities that bring them joy.
