15+ years of clinical experience in neurological and specialized physiotherapy
I am a registered physiotherapist with over 15 years of experience in neurological rehabilitation and specialized therapy. My clinical career has taken me from one of the world's most respected rehabilitation hospitals to the heart of Midtown Toronto - and at every stage, my commitment has been the same: to provide genuinely expert, genuinely individualized care.
I trained and practised for several years at the Loewenstein Rehabilitation Hospital - one of the largest and most comprehensive neurological rehabilitation centres in the world. This experience gave me a depth of clinical exposure that shaped how I think about rehabilitation: rigorously evidence-based, endlessly creative in problem-solving, and always centred on the person in front of me.
Since 2017, I have been practising in Toronto. Over that time, I have expanded my specialization to include certified Manual Lymph Drainage (Dr. Vodder's method) and Facial Nerve Palsy / Facial Neuromuscular Retraining (FNMR) therapy - two areas where I saw significant unmet need in the Toronto community.
I believe that every person is unique.
I believe there is no single path to recovery.
And I believe that where there is will, there is a way - and it is a privilege to be part of that journey.
