Job Titles:

Job Titles:
- Client Experience Representative
As the new Clinic Manager at Function101, I bring a passion for customer service and a wealth of experience to my role. With over a decade of clinic management under my belt, and through my own Virtual Admin business, I have worked with small solo operations as well as large multi-disciplinary clinics. Most recently, I was the Office Manager for an Oakville clinic, overseeing a staff of over 20 people.
While I enjoyed the challenges involved with managing a large clinic, the role was largely administrative and I found I missed the day-to-day interaction with patients. I am very pleased to be working at the front desk here at Function101 to welcome our clientele with a warm hello and a big smile. I'm always ready for a little chat before your appointment!
In the past 3 years, I have discovered a love of obstacle runs like Mud Girl and Foam Fest, kayaking, and reading. Coming to the clinic also gives me a nice break from my 2 dogs and 3 cats.

It started with Yoga. I've taught both small and large groups in various locations across Hamilton. I've worked with clients of all ages and movement capabilities. As a Certified Yoga Instructor, I really valued the importance of healthy movement patterns, posture awareness, and mobility exercises. My Yoga career inspired me to further my learning of the human body and achieve more skills to assist those out of pain.
My strong curiosity to learn led me to become a Registered Massage Therapist. I graduated from the Ontario College of Health and Technology in Stoney Creek where I received a Diploma in Massage Therapy. My education and experience have taught me a wealth of knowledge and skills that I am so excited to share with all of you!
As a manual therapist, I have the privilege to connect with clients on a one-on-one basis and establish an effective treatment plan based on their individual needs. Everyone has different movements, injuries, and goals and this encourages me to stay dedicated to continuing education and perfecting my manual skills to deliver the best form of care.
I am a born and raised Hamiltonian and outside of the clinic you may catch me enjoying the many hiking trails and sipping an Americano at a local cafe.
I am very excited to be a part of the team and I am looking forward to working with the Function101 community!

Growing up living and breathing sports, I have had my fair share of aches, pains, and injuries that helped me develop a passion for rehabilitation through my personal recovery journey. This fuelled the flame to obtain my Bachelor of Arts in Kinesiology at York University and soon after I graduated from Mohawk College's Massage Therapy program.
I started working out as a hobby in high school. This hobby quickly turned into a passion for understanding the way the human body worked and lead me to complete a Baccalaureate degree in Bio-Medical Science at the University of Guelph. Following my undergraduate life, I gained experience in personal training where I further expanded my knowledge of exercise. I then chose to pursue a career in physiotherapy to combine my interests in functional fitness, anatomy, and physiology.
I completed my Master's in Physiotherapy at McMaster where I gained valuable clinical experience in orthopedics, post-surgical rehabilitation, and pediatrics, as well as developed a framework for taking a holistic approach to client management.
I am looking forward to completing many courses to optimize my knowledge of injury prevention and rehabilitation, including manual therapy and acupuncture.
