Welcome to Tidal Motion Physiotherapy!

I specialize in pelvic health and dance physiotherapy, providing personalized care to help you navigate your wellness journey.

With a focus on empowering you through evidence-based treatments, I address conditions such as pelvic organ prolapse, incontinence, pain, as well as prenatal and postpartum care. I also offer injury management and performance enhancement for dancers of all ages. If you’re not a dancer, that’s ok too! I specialize in lower body issues, particularly low back, hip, foot, and ankle pain.

I believe in a biopsychosocial approach that considers the physical, emotional, and social aspects of health. By focusing on your individual needs, I create a safe and supportive environment where you feel heard and understood. My goal is to guide you with strength through the tides of change, helping you regain confidence in your most meaningful activities.

Whether you’re seeking rehabilitation for pelvic health concerns or looking to optimize your dance performance, I am here to support you every step of the way.

Pelvic floor physiotherapy can be a vulnerable, awkward experience, so I want you to leave your sessions feeling safe and empowered. I’ll bring my clinical experience and the latest evidence, you bring your expertise on your own body. Together, we’ll create a plan that works for you.
