Shannon has always desired to pursue a career where she can help people reach and maintain their highest quality of life through movement. She began this journey by obtaining her Bachelor’s degree at Queen’s University in Physical Health and Education. Knowing her end goal was to become a Physiotherapist, she decided to pair her continuing education with her passion for travel. Shannon completed her Master’s of Physiotherapy at Brunel University in the beautiful city of London, United Kingdom. After completing her amazing experience abroad, Shannon returned back to her hometown of Ottawa to begin her next chapter.

Having a very active sports background throughout her life, Shannon understands the physical and mental benefits of exercise. Shannon’s approach to rehabilitation is to provide her patients with a supportive space to communicate their primary complaint, complete a comprehensive assessment, deliver meaningful treatment, as well as a personalized exercise program. Shannon continued to expand her knowledge by completing additional training in pelvic health, treating women and men with conditions such as bladder and bowel incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, Diastasis Recti (DRA), and much more. She ensures her patients with orthopedic and/or pelvic health conditions leave their session with a sense of confidence and empowerment to continue performing functional daily movements they love.

In her spare time, Shannon enjoys staying active by playing soccer and working out at the gym doing HIIT workouts and strength training. She enjoys spending quality time with her friends and family, as well as planning her next big trip!
