Amber is one of those people who was meant to work in healthcare. 

 
 

As a child, she was dubbed “Nurse Amber” since she was always armed with a first aid kit, ready to help anyone who needed it. Sports played a big part in her life growing up, and she remained active as she grew older. 

This personal connection to health and fitness is what led Amber to become a pelvic health physiotherapist. She has a special interest in women’s health and loves to educate and empower women about their body, particularly in regards to the changes that happen during pregnancy, the postpartum period and menopause. She also works with patients experiencing painful intercourse and individuals with chronic pelvic pain, including endometriosis.

Amber is deeply passionate about supporting women through the journey of childbirth, offering her expertise whether it's for a vaginal delivery or cesarean section. She provides invaluable assistance during the postpartum phase, gently guiding them through tailored recovery exercises, addressing concerns like diastasis rectus abdominis. Her ultimate goal is to empower women, helping them safely transition back to their pre-pregnancy levels of activity.

Amber firmly believes in empowering women through their perimenopause and postmenopausal journey. She's here to tackle any genitourinary symptoms that come with menopause and share some proactive exercises for those who like to stay one step ahead!

She uses a trauma-informed approach when treating patients, providing a safe and judgement-free environment for patients to express their history and triggers to take the steps towards healing.

Amber strongly believes that understanding one’s history is the key to a successful recovery, which is why her treatment approach includes a ton of education, as well as exercise guidance, manual therapies and dry needling/acupuncture as needed. As a patient of Amber’s, you can always expect to feel seen and heard and you’ll immediately feel at ease thanks to her caring nature.
