What I Bring to the Table
With my wide range of skill sets, I use a variety of techniques—from manual therapy and dry needling (IMS) to evidence-based exercise prescription—to achieve the best treatment outcomes for my patients. I was born and raised in South Vancouver, where I grew up practicing martial arts, swimming, and (reluctantly) piano. While studying Kinesiology at UBC, I discovered a love for weight training, and it made sense to combine my passion for fitness, health, and helping others into a profession: physiotherapy. I was tired of seeing people struggle with pain and injury—I want to heal the world one smile at a time.

My Treatment Philosophy
My philosophy revolves around the body’s natural ability for adaptation. In my practice, the rehabilitation process begins with deloading the nervous system, then reeducating normalized movement before finally re-strengthening the body in a pain free state. I believe in guiding patients through each of these stages with intention, so they can return to their lives with confidence, control, and less fear of re-injury.

After Hours
You can find me almost living at the gym, as it is one of my favourite hobbies. I competed in my first powerlifting competition in 2015, where I won first place in the BCPA Winter Open Bench Press. Outside of the gym, I love participating in new outdoor activities and different sports, including volleyball, and playing in a multi-sport league with my church team friends and running around bases or ripping down the mountain.
