About Me
With a passion for leading an active lifestyle, it was only natural that I chose to pursue a career that would allow me to help others do the same. In 2015, I completed a Bachelor of Athletic and Exercise Therapy at Camosun College and then went on to complete a Diploma of Acupuncture from Pacific Rim College in 2019.
I use a combination of acupuncture, various manual therapy techniques, exercise prescription, and client education during each of my treatments. I strive to get clients back to their pre-injury state as quickly and as safely as possible. Not only do I love treating musculoskeletal injuries but acupuncture has opened my eyes to the possibilities of helping clients with issues ranging from digestive upset to menstrual disorders.
When I'm not in the clinic, you can find me snowboarding up at Whitewater, pumping iron at the NDCC, trying to get a descent score in disc golf, or working on my squash skills.
