Born and raised in Saskatchewan, finding a passion for the Physical Therapy profession as a patient from injuries sustained while competing nationally in gymnastics. I obtained an honours degree in Biochemistry from the University of Saskatchewan, followed by a Bachelors of Science in Physical Therapy from the UofS. I have been practicing for over 15 years in the province in both rural and urban centers with Bourassa and Associates Rehabilitation Centre, recently undergoing rebranding to Venture Rehabilitation Sciences Group in order to reflect the multidisciplinary nature of our practice. I became a partner in the business in 2018.
I am a part time clinical instructor at the University of Saskatchewan in the physical therapy program and have been involved in this for a number of years. I am an instructor in the National Orthopedic Division branch of the Canadian Physical Therapy Association - AIM education system designed for advanced practice for post graduate physical therapists.
My credentials also include a Diploma of Advanced Manual and Manipulative Physiotherapy, a member of the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Physical Therapy, and a practitioner of Gunn Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS).
I continue to challenge myself in my professional life with education in advanced musculoskeletal care, chronic pain, and vestibular practice; and in my personal life through competition in ultramarathon, triathlon, and Ironman events.

B.Sc.(P.T.), B.Sc.(Kin), Dip.Manip.P.T., FCAMPT
Graduating from the School of Physical Therapy in 2005 and the College of Kinesiology in 2001 both at the U of S, I have had a vast interest and passion for sports and wellness since a young age. Growing up in Saskatchewan, I had the opportunity to play soccer at a provincial, national and university level completing my full 5 years with the U of S Women’s Soccer team.
I have been practicing as a Physiotherapist for the past 17 years, starting my career in Prince Albert then moving to Saskatoon to work with Bourassa and Associates Rehabilitation Centre in 2007. After 11 years as an associate, I became a partner in the business in 2018 that is now rebranded to Venture Rehabilitation Sciences Group.
Credentials include a Diploma of Advanced Manual and Manipulative Physiotherapy, a member of the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Physical Therapy (FCAMPT), and a practitioner of Biomedical Dry Needling. My areas of clinical interest are neuromusculoskeletal injuries, chronic pain, and rehabilitation management. I have a further interest of expanding my practice into the areas of vestibular therapy and pelvic health.
I am currently the Saskatchewan Orthopaedics Division Treasurer and have participated as a lab assistant with the National Orthopedic Division branch of the Canadian Physical Therapy Association (AIM system) and within the School of Physical Therapy. I enjoy the mentorship of new graduates and continue to promote the profession as it evolves. Bringing PT services to the rural communities has been a goal and desire for both myself and Venture Rehab.
Outside of my practice both as a clinician and owner, I am busy coaching my children in their sports, being a mom, playing soccer, running/training and traveling.
