I’m definitely not a night owl, nor am I an early bird.🦉💤

I am some sort of permanently exhausted pigeon. And I’m okay with that! This little depleted pigeon is listening to her body and honouring what it needs. Constantly reminding myself of the importance of self-compassion, as opposed to being such a royal, demanding jerk to myself with the guilt-trips 💟💕

This is your reminder to be gentle towards yourself today✨

This hit hard. 🤍

I’m guilty of this since… well, I guess becoming a Physio in 2013 😬😅

Quick little update 🧠

✨I miss you guys SO damn much!!! (Even those of you that curse me during treatment 😇).

✨I’m gradually starting to feel more like myself and am looking forward to slowly (baby steps 🐢) booking appointments again in the near future.

✨I can’t emphasize just how much I HATE needles and how big of a baby I’ve been with them. Which I find ironic and hilarious given what I do to you guys, ALL day, EVERY day! KARMA… is that you? 💉

✨Thank you for your patience, kindness, and thoughtful messages as I get back on my feet! I’m so freaking grateful! 👣🖤

✨ You’re allowed to admit that you’re struggling. Even if from the outside looking in, you seem to have it all.

Mental health is no joke. It’s complex and very real. 🧠

Struggling with your mental health does not make you “crazy”. Just like breaking a bone in your body does not make you “broken”.

Mental health is such an important topic, and needs to be discussed more often.

It’s NOT “attention seeking”.

The stigma around the topic of mental health has people questioning and silencing themselves, and that is not okay.

Please don’t hold your sadness inside. Sending so much love your way! ❤️❤️‍🩹

✨Advice from a 30-something year old, who doesn’t recover anything like she used to 10 years ago… as a 20-something year old 🥺😭

Gyms are officially open, and we’re all super excited to be back. So much so, that maybe we forget that we shouldn’t be lifting what we were lifting a year ago, prior to lockdown⁉️ Or maybe we forget that doing two back-to-back HIIT classes is probably not a good idea at the very beginning⁉️

Be gentle and patient with your body. If you forget to do that, you know where to find me🖤

I can’t believe it❣️🎉 WOW.

… because of YOU, I’ve won the SILVER award for Windsor’s best physiotherapist and rehab clinic🥈

How the hell am I supposed to eventually move home to Ottawa when you Windsor/Essex people keep showing me (and my new one-woman show/venture) so much love and support⁉️

Thank you. Seriously… THANK YOU! From the bottom of my heart ❤️ I’m humbled and so grateful! 🙏🏼

A huge congratulations also goes out to the other physiotherapists and rehab clinics for their nominations and wins in their categories!

✨From the outside looking in, it’s hard to understand. From the inside looking out, it’s hard to explain 🧠💜

How often do you feel guilty about taking care of yourself? ALL. THE. TIME. 🙋🏼‍♀️

Self-care guilt shows up in different ways...
By apologizing for taking time for yourself, by feeling like you’re being selfish, or putting it off because you feel you have others more important to care for.

Whatever the reason, there’s always a nagging voice in the back of your mind that makes you feel guilty about taking care of yourself. Even selfish!

What you need is to start asking yourself how well you can take care of others when you’re not taking care of yourself. 🤔

RANDOM FACTS ABOUT ME 💁🏼‍♀️💫

Here are 5 random things about me that most people may not know...

✨ I’m a physiotherapist from Ottawa who was originally only supposed to be in Windsor short-term. But, here we are 5 years later and my patients still won’t let me leave🖤

✨ I played varsity rugby. This crazy sport is the reason behind the complex fracture of my left shoulder, the bionic hardware left inside of it and the badass scar🦾

✨ I am VERY easy to startle and/or scare.

✨ I am guilty of watching and listening to true crime series. Then I end up being too chicken s**t at night to let the dogs out in the backyard, or to go down to the basement for laundry. ⚠️

✨ I’m a pretty tiny person. I round up and say 5’4 when asked my height, but I’m definitely closer to 5’3.

BONUS FACT✨ I probably say “I’m sorry” during a single treatment about 20 times 😳 I am a BIG empath!

✨Acupuncture is NOT the same as Myofascial trigger point dry needling‼️

✨The word “myofascial” is made up of the roots “myo” (which refers to muscle) and “fascia” (which refers to the tissue that connects muscle)

✨ Acupuncture is an ancient traditional Chinese technique that utilizes the knowledge of meridians

✨ Dry needling relies on the practitioners expanded knowledge of skeletal and neuroanatomy.  This knowledge allows one to identify damaged and sensitive tissues, taut bands, and trigger points as well as injured and overused tissues

✨ Dry Needling utilizes a thin filiform needle to pe*****te skin, fascia and muscles. Often, patients will experience a mild, dull ache during treatment and up to 24 hours post treatment

✨ Dry Needling is an extremely effective treatment for acute and chronic pain, decreased flexibility, joint dysfunction, and recovery from physical activity

Nature is not on the internet 🌳🌺🌈🦋🌷

Do you suffer from “text neck” or “texter’s thumb”?? I sure do.

How do we get rid of it you ask? Well, easy fix!

1- Get off your phone
2- Get outside
3- Seek out a physiotherapist to help with your pain

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU 🙏🏼♥️😇

To all my nurse friends, family and patients... you are amazing human beings and you deserve the world! To do what NOBODY else will do, day after day, in spite of ALL that you are going through in your own life is one of the many reasons I truly consider you all superheroes 🩺🦸 A big thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of you nurses who go 12+ hours without food, rest or washroom breaks... in your N95 masks, goggles, face shields and full PPE to take care of our community and loved ones. You have personally taken care of my loved ones; shown them compassion, empathy, kindness, understanding and strength during the hardest and worst times of their lives. You have impacted the lives of SO many and I will be forever grateful!

I know that you are tired, frustrated and burning out. Please know that I see you, I appreciate you, and I’m here to take care of you in any way that I can! ♥️✨
