Briana graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science from Western Michigan University in 2012 while pursuing a golf scholarship. She competed as a varsity athlete throughout her four years while in the exercise science program. Following her undergrad, Briana completed the Masters of Physical Therapy program at Western in 2014.

After her time at Western, Briana worked for two years at a high-performance orthopaedic clinic in Barrie, Ontario. This clinic specialized in sports rehabilitation, where the emphasis was put on proper movement patterns and effective exercise prescription to optimize performance. Education is a big part of her treatment approach as she believes all patients should learn how to perform basic maintenance on themselves to live long, healthy lives. After moving to Victoria in 2016, Briana started working at a neurological clinic and soon discovered a love for treating more complex neuro conditions. Neurological care has now become a true passion for Briana as she enjoys helping people get back to the things they love. By taking the time to know the patient outside of their medical history, she is able to build trust and tailor the rehab process to their specific needs and values. Function based rehabilitation exercises are the foundation to the care she provides for her clients. 

Continuing education courses include advanced concussion/MTBI management, dry needling (IMS), pelvic floor rehabilitation (incontinence and pelvic pain), advanced vestibular training, manual therapy level 2, SFMA (Selective Functional Movement Assessment), FMS (Functional Movement Assessment), Movnat level 1 and Acupuncture. Briana has also completed a certification course through the NDTA (Neuro-Developmental Treatment Association), a 120-hour contact course that provides advanced therapist education for individuals with neurological dysfunction. Briana also works closely with the Eagle Creek Complex care team running a monthly group for FND. She is also fully bilingual and can provide services in French and English.

When Briana is not seeing clients, you will find her at the gym, on the tennis court, at the golf course, on the pickleball court or spending time with her friends and family!
