Danielle is a Registered Physiotherapist with over 23 years of experience and a
lifelong passion for human anatomy and movement. Her journey began at the
University of Victoria, where a serendipitous human anatomy course sparked her
fascination with the musculoskeletal system. After completing a Bachelor of Science
in Biology in 1996 and spending a few years travelling, she earned her Bachelor of
Science in Physiotherapy from the University of British Columbia in 2002.
Her post-grad training and clinical interests are very diverse, which has given
Danielle a wide lens perspective through which to assess and treat people. Her
absolute favorite areas to treat are complex pelvic and low back dysfunction, pelvic
pain (including coccyx, sexual, menstrual, peri-menopausal, and pregnancy-related
pain), incontinence, and constipation. Danielle also has a special interest in upper
cervical (neck) dysfunction and headaches and is currently completing a
research-based Master’s degree (University of Otago) focused on ligamentous
assessment of the upper neck. Her passion to learn and be curious influences her
style of treatment which is very hands-on and education focussed, always asking
“why?”, and working on big picture treatment and prevention.
Danielle has worked extensively in rural and remote communities, including 12
years running her own private practice in Gold River, BC and the past decade
practicing in Gisborne, New Zealand. She is a licensed Physiotherapist in Canada,
New Zealand, and Australia. Outside the clinic, she enjoys travelling, yoga, hiking,
mountain biking, gardening, eating dark chocolate, and planning her next
adventure. Danielle is a proud mum of three amazing adult daughters, and is a new
resident of Cumberland with her husband.
