Hi, I’m Jacqui.
Registered Physiotherapist, MPT, BScK.
Jacqui graduated from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology. During her time at U of I, she worked for the Neurocognitive Kinesiology Laboratory and the Disability Resources and Education Services which sparked her interest in working with individuals with neurological conditions.
Following her time at U of I, Jacqui completed her Master of Science in Physiotherapy at McMaster University. During her time at McMaster, she gained valuable experience in a variety of clinical settings, including private practice, inpatient mental health, paediatrics, and acute trauma/spine.
Since graduating, Jacqui has had experience working as a physiotherapist in acute medicine, inpatient neurological rehabilitation, and private neurological clinic settings. She has continued her education with Neuro-Developmental Treatment, Bobath, Parkinson Wellness Recovery, vestibular, and concussion courses in order to provide the best care for her clients with neurological conditions.
Jacqui believes in a collaborative treatment approach; working in conjunction with clients toward achieving their goals. She is passionate about helping clients find the joy in movement through working as a team toward their goals in fun and functional ways.
Outside of work, you’ll likely find Jacqui enjoying an outdoor adventure. She loves activities such as hiking, biking, and paddle boarding!
