As of January 2024, I am back from maternity leave and excited to welcome new assessments into my schedule!

I have been a practicing kinesiologist since graduating from UBC Kinesiology in 2011. I was drawn to the kinesiology program as a lifelong recreational athlete, enjoying running, volleyball, basketball, softball, and soccer in my youth. Born and raised in the lower mainland, I love everything our province has to offer for all levels of skill and competitiveness.

Upon being diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis in university, I found myself drawn towards helping others with chronic conditions and chronic pain navigate the healthcare system and their best life. The ability to return to recreational activities in a way that feels safe and meaningful is such an important part of our healing journeys.

I have three young children and love helping other parents through their pre and post-natal journey. Our bodies have an innate and remarkable capacity for healing, and helping guide other folks through their process drives me to be the best kinesiologist I can be.

I look forward to meeting you and helping you feel your best!
