Our People

Michaela is a physiotherapist that loves helping people feel strong, supported, and confident in their bodies. She gained her Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from Dalhousie University in 2014, and spent several years in Toronto as a personal trainer, group fitness instructor, and Nike Running Pacer. Her love for movement and helping others led her to complete a Master of Physiotherapy Studies at the University of Queensland in Australia in 2018, where she also co-authored a published study on concussions. Since graduating school and becoming a registered physiotherapist, she has completed additional certifications in Contemporary Medical Acupuncture at McMaster University, pelvic physiotherapy, vestibular rehab, and pilates based rehab.

Michaela’s career has taken her from hospital-based care at Bridgepoint Hospital, working with individuals recovering from complex neurological conditions, orthopaedic injuries, surgeries, and strokes, to private practice, where she continues to support a wide range of clients.

After becoming a mom of two, Michaela developed a passion for working with women during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum through a trauma informed lens. Through both personal and professional experience, she understands the unique challenges of these stages and is committed to filling the gap in care with compassion, evidence-based treatment, and a whole-person approach.

Michaela believes that everyone deserves to feel heard and cared for, and she loves creating a welcoming space where people can work toward their goals. Whether it’s recovering from injury, returning to sport, or navigating the journey of motherhood, Michaela has your back.
