I provide top-tier individualized pelvic physiotherapy and sexual health care in Findlay Creek, Ottawa and virtually across Ontario.
My care is rooted in these pillars to ensure you receive the highest standard of treatment, attention and privacy.
Education
The more we know about how our bodies work, the less mystery there is around the symptoms we may feel. This is also a VERY important component to patient care that helps you maintain your autonomy.
Trauma-Informed
Although not everyone is going to get this right 100% of the time (me included!) providing care using a trauma informed lens helps you progress in your pelvic journey with more comfort, ease, and overall support. This helps us understand your symptoms better and treat them appropriately.
Wellness
The goal is always wellness - not just the absence of a symptom but an overall optimal functioning and well being. This means that we want to get to a point where you feel like you are thriving and not just surviving!
Empowerment
Oftentimes our medical or general life experiences can make us feel like we are not worthy of care, or we feel invalidated. There should always be a part of care that makes you feel empowered to not only take on your symptoms, but also helps you be able to navigate your health with better confidence and awareness.
Patient Centered
I may be an expert in pelvic health care, but you are an expert in YOU! the goals that are important to you, the purpose of your sessions, everything is driven by you. We may work as a team, but the project is you; so without keeping your wishes at the center of care, we likely will miss important breadcrumbs that helps us work together better.
Holistic Approach
Your health is about more than your physical body alone. It is important to take this into consideration and approach healthcare from a biopsychosocial framework - this means we want to consider how our symptoms can change based on our body, how we interact with the world, and how we think.
I will always be steadfast in these values - they’re the core of my practise.
Respect
Compassionate Care
Life-long Learning
Synergy
Social Justice
As a rostered pelvic health physiotherapist with additional sexual health education certification, I work with people having sexual health concerns or symptoms by building meaningful connections and providing personalized physiotherapy care designed collaboratively to achieve sexual health wellness.
Additionally, I use my healthcare experience and sexual health training to develop community centred comprehensive sexual health workshops to achieve proactive and inclusive sexual health care.
To create a pelvic and sexual health network that connects people with personalized education and inclusive healthcare because people deserve to have access to knowledge and resources as they take control of their pelvic and sexual health.
I am available to see patients at any of the locations below. The wonderful part of physiotherapy is that it can be effective when you are in-person or virtually! I have had patients who have done well with their pelvic health journeys from the comfort of their home - making this a wonderful option for providing care. This means you get to choose what works best for you, based off of your comfort and circumstances :)
