Who We Are

I worked at Kids Physio Group as a general pediatric physiotherapist for 4 years, and during that time I became fascinated with scoliosis. I identified a huge gap in conservative management in the lower mainland, sought further training, and have now dedicated my whole career to these kids and teens by opening The ScoliClinic.

I’m a Schroth-certified physiotherapist who believes in arming families with the knowledge and skills to support your child in the best way possible. As the owner, I split my time between clinical appointments and managing the business – I’m learning how to provide the highest quality service possible to families going through this challenging time.

I believe in lifelong learning, and am constantly thinking about how to integrate this information into our practice and bring the newest research to the families of British Columbia. Here are some of my relevant certifications:

• ISICO’s S.E.A.S. Level 2 – February 2018
• Barcelona Scoliosis Physical Therapy School – C2 (Advanced) – June 2016
• ISICO’s S.E.A.S. Level 1 – January 2016
• Barcelona Scoliosis Physical Therapy School – C1 (Basic) – February 2015
• Society on Scoliosis Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Treatment (SOSORT) Member
• UBC Master of Physical Therapy, 2011

I also have a passion for global health work, and most recently completed a 5-month project in rural South India. Read more about it here.

If you have any questions about how The ScoliClinic can help your child, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

We can’t wait to meet you!

I am thrilled to be joining The ScoliClinic team as a Physiotherapist!

I was diagnosed with scoliosis at 9 years old and wore a brace for seven years. Throughout this process, my family and I were consistently frustrated with the limited therapy options available and consequently the lack of control over the progression of my curve. After reflecting on the challenges we went through during that time, I feel that the overall experience still had a significant positive impact on my family and both my personal and professional growth. After all, my personal experience with scoliosis is what drove me to pursue a career in Physiotherapy.

I’m dedicated to using my knowledge and personal experience to support my clients and their families through each of their unique challenges, successes, and growth. My ultimate aim is to empower each person to gain a sense of control and confidence in his/her body.

Since meeting Andrea as a mentor for an international physiotherapy placement, my interest in the Schroth Method grew, leading to my decision to pursue the BSPTS C1 training in November of 2016.

My Schroth Method-based practice is strengthened by the following certifications:

• Barcelona Scoliosis Physical Therapy School – C1 – November 2016
• Kinetacore Functional Dry Needling – Level 1 – August 2016
• UBC Master of Physical Therapy, 2015

Looking forward to seeing you in the clinic!

I have always enjoyed being physically active and was a competitive Irish Dancer for almost a decade. It was while dancing I was exposed to physiotherapy and knew that this is what wanted to do for my career.

I’ve been working at Kids Physio Group since receiving my Master in Physical Therapy degree from the University of British Columbia (UBC). Upon graduating, I received the 2013 Pediatrics Award of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association for Excellence in Academic and Clinical Pediatrics.

I am absolutely delighted to be a part of The ScoliClinic team. I’m passionate about working with teens and adults to aid them in reaching their physical goals and empowering them to manage their physical challenges.

I’ve received several certifications and have attended a variety of courses including, but not limited to:

• Barcelona Scoliosis Physical Thearpy School – C2 – January 2018
• Barcelona Scoliosis Physical Therapy School – C1 – November 2016
• Neurokinetic Therapy (NKT) Level 1 course and certification

I’m very excited to have joined this inspiring team of scoliosis experts here at the ScoliClinic. Throughout my entire life, I have always been active playing several sports, going on lots of adventures, and continually seeking new thrills and challenges. Inevitably my active lifestyle has led me to experience several set-backs and injuries along the way, all of which have taught me to deeply value my independence and mobility.

From these experiences, I decided to pursue a career in physiotherapy to help others create and maintain a healthy, functional, pain-free body that allows you to pursue your life passions. I love working with individuals of ranging function and abilities and I have experience working with all age groups from newborns, kids & teens to adults & elders.

My relevant certifications are:

• International Schroth 3D Scoliosis Therapy, Part 1 (2017)
• Diploma of Advanced Orthopaedic Manual & Manipulative Physiotherapy: Level 1 (2017)
• UBC Master of Physical Therapy, 2017

I look forward to seeing you in the clinic!

I am very excited to join The ScoliClinic team as a Physiotherapist! I have always been interested in health and wellness and was previously a nutritionist. I pursued Physiotherapy because of my interest in helping people improve their physical health, function and mobility. I love getting to know my clients and have worked with people of wide-ranging abilities in hospitals, outpatient rehabilitation and private practice.

I was diagnosed with mild scoliosis when I was 25 years old and was frustrated by the lack of education and treatment I received to manage it. Consequently, I have always been interested in scoliosis-specific Physiotherapy, and I pursued Schroth BSPTS C1 training in February 2018.

My certifications are:

• Barcelona Scoliosis Physical Therapy School (C1), February 2018
• University of Toronto Master of Physical Therapy, 2015
• Level 1 Neuro-Proprioceptive Taping, 2016

Looking forward to meeting you in clinic!

I am so excited to be a part of the ScoliClinic team as a co-op student. I am currently a student at Simon Fraser University studying Health Sciences and Business Administration.

Aside from joining the ScoliClinic and studying at SFU, I also teach recreational and competitive figure skating to children and teens. I started learning how to skate at the age of 5, and my biggest accomplishment was making the Singapore Figure Skating National team. Throughout my figure skating career, I overcame various injuries and challenges. Now as a coach, I encounter different problems with my skaters everyday and try to approach them from a different perspective. At the end of the day, I love to see my skaters grow and achieve their goals. I hope that through my experiences, I can help make your scoliosis journey a little sweeter.

I am so thrilled and grateful for this opportunity to be a part of the ScoliClinic team.
