Katie completed her Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Psychology at Queen’s University in 2013. Out of her desire to work directly with people and positively influence their lives, she went on to complete her Master of Physical Therapy degree at Western University in 2015.

Katie has taken a variety of physiotherapy further education courses in manual therapy, abdominal wall assessment, and chronic pain. She is also certified in both K-taping and Functional Dry Needling.

Most recently Katie has completed her 200 hour yoga teacher certification as well as reformer and mat Pilates certification.

With her psychology background, Katie has a strong interest in the mind-body connection; a person’s mental state affects physical functioning and vice versa. She uses this knowledge to take a holistic approach to physiotherapy treatment. This means focusing not only on the injury, but also considering each patient’s unique situation to develop an individualized treatment plan. Katie’s treatments focus on combining manual therapy and exercise with education. Her goal is to empower every patient to develop life-long knowledge and skills to both treat and prevent injury.

Beyond physiotherapy, Katie enjoys practicing yoga, dancing, rock climbing, hiking, painting, and traveling. Katie is also proficient in conversational spanish and welcomes any opportunity to practice!

I have been living and working in Kelowna for 12 years now but I am originally from Manitoba where I grew up on a farm outside the small town of Killarney. I moved to Winnipeg after high school graduation and went to the University of Manitoba. I first completed a Bachelor of Science and then my Bachelor of Medical Rehabilitation in Physiotherapy. I have been working in private practice for over 15 years and my speciality is manual therapy and treating Orthopedic injuries. After graduating from Physiotherapy, I continued my education with the Canadian Physiotherapy Association and completed the Orthopedic division levels and my advanced exam in 2017 to obtain my Diploma of Advanced Manual and Manipulative Physiotherapy and become an FCAMPT. I am also certified in Gunn IMS (intramuscular stimulation) and I have taken many courses over the years and I enjoy continuing to learn and grow my treatment skills. My physiotherapy treatments are a combination of everything I have learned along the way but are also tailored to your specific needs and requirements.

In my spare time I’m an avid outdoor enthusiast and my biggest passion is hiking and back country camping. You will also find me dragon boating in the summer and skiing in the winter. I believe it’s important to stay active and I want to help my clients stay active as well and be able to continue to enjoy the activities they love.
