ABOUT

In 2001 (holy moly that was many moons ago-lol), I graduated from Algonquin College's 3 year Massage Therapy Program in Ottawa.

I worked at a Chiropractic office in Kingston with other health care professionals for a long time, and loved it!  But I really wanted to be able to provide my own small community of South Frontenac with wellness-based health care without having to travel to the city.  That's when Back to Health was born, in 2014!

​

Back to Health was received with great support from family, friends and neighbours!  I'm soooo grateful for their ongoing trust and support!

​

I grew up enjoying my summers at our cottage on Dog Lake every year.  Hiawatha's Hideaway Cottage Resort was founded by my grandpa in 1960, so I hold Battersea, and this neck of the woods, very close to my heart!  In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and 2 children: camping, boating, fishing, skiing and snowmobiling.  Anything outdoorsey is right up my alley!

​

My other passion is HORSES!  I've been riding since I was 5 and still love every minute of being around horses!  So I ride with my daughter and horsey friends as much as I can, and I love teaching riding lessons too!

​

I believe it's soooo important to continue learning and improving my skills with the hope to help others.  So I continue to take additional courses whenever I can. Here are some of my favourite courses so far : 

-Cadaver Anatomy at the University of Ottawa

-Scapular Stretch-Rotator Cuff Injury
