Kate received her Masters degree in Physiotherapy from the University of British
Columbia. Prior to her physiotherapy degree, she graduated with Distinction from the
University of Victoria with a Bachelors of Science in Combined Biology and Psychology. Throughout her schooling, Kate volunteered at MOVE Adapted Fitness and Rehabilitation Society of BC, and the Victoria Epilepsy and Parkinson’s Centre. She was immediately drawn to neurological rehabilitation. Kate has clinical experience working with adults and children of all ages with various orthopaedic and neurological conditions. She has a particularly keen interest in working with individuals with Parkinson’s and has completed the Parkinson’s Wellness Recovery (PWR!) Therapist Certification, as well as the NeuroFit BC Changing Parkinson’s: The Fundamentals of Functional Movement (FFM) course. Additional postgraduate courses include the Neuro-Developmental Treatment (NDT) Association Certificate Course in the Management of Adults with Stroke and Brain Injury, the National Orthopaedic Division Level 1 Manual Therapy Certification, and Vestibular Rehabilitation training.
Kate believes in empowering individuals through movement to achieve healthy bodies
and healthy minds. Kate will work with each client and family to guide their
individualized treatment, maximize their functional abilities, and achieve their unique
goals. Kate grew up as a competitive dancer, so outside of work you can usually find her taking a dance class, going on long bike rides, or reading books on the beach.
