Hi, I'm Stephanie |

Girl, I get it. I’m a mom to two fantastic little girls. But as fantastic as they are, it’s not always easy. Pregnancy can be uncomfortable, exhausting, exciting, seem to last forever, magical, empowering or downright painful. Creating and taking care of these little humans is a wild ride, which we sometimes lose ourselves in. Finding time to take care of YOU will benefit them just as much.
Through my teens and early twenties I suffered with Bladder Pain Syndrome. I didn’t know that’s what it was at the time, because the awareness and research on some of these pelvic floor dysfunctions were not well known. So, when I tried pelvic physio during my second pregnancy (yes the PHYSIO didn’t even know enough about it the first time around!!) I was so excited to have some guidance.
I had a wonderful labour and delivery experience both times (although my husband has a different opinion on that) but my recovery was so much easier after pelvic physio with my second. Just having an understanding of what was going on down there, how to relax my pelvic floor and how to do a proper kegel made such a huge difference for me.

My goal with this practice is to provide a compassionate space for moms to come for the kind of care they need – whether it’s physical care, emotional support, guidance in self-care or just someone to help figure things out with. I’ve been practicing physiotherapy since 2011 and this experience plus my experience birthing and raising my two amazing girls provides me with the right kind of empathy to help other moms along the way.
I’ll be there for you whether the bump is in the belly or there's a bump down the road. Just reach out for a little help. |

Hi, I'm Katie
I graduated from Queen’s University with an Honours Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Bachelor of Education before pursuing my Masters of Science in Physical Therapy. I combine my love of teaching and healthcare into a career that I am passionate about.
I come from a diverse background within the physiotherapy field having worked in a variety of settings. Having always been interested in pregnancy and postpartum care, one of my favourite areas of physiotherapy is pelvic floor. I love helping my patients meet their goals and improve the function of their pelvic floor to be able to enjoy the activities they love! Having a previous background in education, I work hard to ensure my patients understand their condition and how physiotherapy can help them reach their goals utilizing evidence-informed methods.
In my spare time, I enjoy rock climbing, being a volunteer ski patroller, competing in triathlons, and spending time outdoors.
