Over 1000 folks with acute (new) injuries assessed at our Acute Injury Clinic since its inception in Dec 2022!
This clinic was designed to provide fast and more direct access to an experienced sport medicine team for the assessment, diagnosis, and management of an acute injury.
Folks can “self-refer” to the clinic, which means a referral from a family physician or emergency room doctor is not required. Learn more about this clinic here 👉 https://banffsportmed.ca/acute-injury-clinic/

I'm passionate about two things in Physiotherapy: Evidence-based practice and my patients. My patients inspire me to provide the most comprehensive, individualized and effective treatment possible. With six years of University education, and over 20 post-graduate courses completed to date, I utilize the latest scientific evidence to diagnose musculoskeletal dysfunctions, and deliver cutting-edge treatment.
A few of my most valued credentials include:
Level 3 Diploma Of Manual Therapy - Orthopaedic Division of Canadian Physiotherapy Association
Certified Manual Therapist - Swodeam Institute
Level 2 Functional Dry Needling - Kinetacore Physical Therapy Education
Foundations of Anatomical Acupuncture - Acupuncture Canada
Selective Functional Movement Assessment & Functional Movement Screen
I provide one-on-one physiotherapy to members of the public, weekend warriors, amateur athletes, professional athletes, and Olympic athletes. While I treat many elite athletes, I welcome patients of all ages, backgrounds and conditions.
I have been involved in the rehabilitation and performance field since 2005. In addition to my career as a Physiotherapist, I have worked as a Kinesiologist, Personal Fitness Trainer, University Teaching Assistant, and an Athletic Trainer with Acadia University’s Varsity Football Team. I graduated from Acadia University with a Bachelor of Kinesiology (Specializing in Sports Rehabilitation), and Queen’s University with a Master of Science in Physical Therapy.
When not at work, eating, sleeping or reading the latest research you’re most likely to find me mountaineering, rock climbing, ice climbing, backcountry skiing, or trail running.
