Liz loves to learn and has taken many post-graduate courses in Orthopedics and Pelvic Health as well as Acupuncture, Visceral Manipulation, Cranial Sacral Therapy and Functional Resistance Training.
Prior to physiotherapy, Liz worked in the fitness industry as a CSEP Certified Personal Trainer and since then has become a Hypopressive Instructor and 200 HR Registered Yoga Teacher with extra training in Restorative Yoga as well as Prenatal and Postpartum Yoga.
Liz is also involved in the Edmonton birth community and has completed her CAPPA Labour Doula Training, which has given her huge insight into the amazing things the female body can do and how resilient it truly is.
She has a gift for connecting with patients and strives to create an environment for her clients to feel heard and validated as they navigate their road to recovery. Her approach to physical therapy, founded in the Integrated Systems Model (ISM), focuses on looking at a patient as a whole to get to the root of the problem and includes the use of manual therapy, patient education and a strong element of therapeutic exercise. She treats the body with a holistic approach and has applied her passion and knowledge of the human body to creating her own unique style of assessment and treatment.
Liz is trained to treat a variety of dysfunctions and her caseload includes everything from pelvic health, abdominal issues, prenatal and postpartum health, sports injuries and complex musculoskeletal conditions.
Beyond physiotherapy, Liz enjoys spending time with family and friends, being out in nature and exploring Edmonton’s numerous festivals and events. Her hobbies include biking, hiking, snowshoeing and travelling to new places.
