What is Kinesiology?

In Ontario, a Kinesiologist is a regulated health professional whose scope of practice is defined as “ The assessment of human movement and performance and its rehabilitation and management to maintain, rehabilitate or enhance movement and performance.”

Hydrotherapy & Swimming

As a former lifeguard and someone with a love of water, I enjoy offering modifed swimming lessons, water walking and hydrotherapy sessions. We can focus on swim skills, cardiovascular fitness or injury rehabilitation. My priority is always water safety!

Community Participation

Has your child wanted to participate in community exercise programs but struggled to keep up or be included? I can work with your child in a similar setting to learn the skills necessary to be successful in the community class. I also enjoy attending classes with children to provide extra support or simply going together to play in the park!
