Happy New Year!

To those of you that I haven't met, my name is Kaeleigh Brown. I live in Yellowknife with my partner and daughter. I'm a pelvic health physiotherapist, and also a student researcher. One of the projects I'm working on is about pelvic health conditions (like bladder leaks, pain in the pelvis, prolapse).

I will be travelling to Nunavut this month to host a couple of information nights, and to work on the research project. Keep an eye on this page for updates!

For those that are interested, the Nunavut research license number for the project is 04 003 25R-M, and the NWT license number is 17646.
