The Person

Karen is an Ontario girl who fell in love with the mountains and ocean. She is a travel junkie, and has been lucky enough to explore bits of Southeast Asia, India, Europe and Central and South America. Driving down forest service roads, hiking and camping in this beautiful province is her passion. She has recently taken up dirt biking which she finds both terrifying and exhilarating. You can find her on the trails riding a Honda 250F named Rosetta. Karen enjoys any conversation about travel, music, books, and outdoor activities - oh and dogs, always show her a picture of your dog.

When it comes to my clients, I always give it my all. I am honoured to be a part of someone’s rehabilitation journey.

 Karen is a life long learner and believes in evidence-based practice. Karen ensures that the treatment she provides is current, effective and safe.
