About me

I work in a dynamic private practice in Penticton with some fantastic therapists.  We all enjoy treating a variety of musculoskeletal conditions.  I also practice vestibular rehab.  I am in clinic Wednesday - Friday and do offer Tele-Rehabilitation for those that feel safer at home.

In my non-working life, you will find me at the ski hill, the beach or on a stand-up paddle board in the beautiful South Okanagan. I play with endless energy and am passionate about growth and learning to be my best self.

I learn from my patients every day!!
