I am thrilled to have founded Wild Berry Pelvic Health Physiotherapy
I graduated with a Master’s Degree in Physiotherapy from University of Montreal in 2011. My training in pelvic and Women’s health includes the completion of the Short Graduate Program in Perineal and Pelvic Rehabilitation (University of Montreal, 2014).
I completed my PhD in physiotherapy in September 2020. I have studied the effects of a pelvic floor exercises program on perineal symptoms of menopause, which obtained encouraging results. During my PhD studies, I have worked in a private clinic and a research centre, mostly with women affected by pelvic floor issues. I was also lecturer at the University of Montreal, teaching on the subject of urinary incontinence assessment and treatment.
I fell in love with Nelson and his community in 2016. I am so grateful to be part of it now.
