Amber is one of those people who was meant to work in healthcare.
As a child, she was dubbed “Nurse Amber” since she was always armed with a first aid kit, ready to help anyone who needed it. Sports played a big part in her life growing up, and she remained active as she grew older.
This personal connection to health and fitness is what led Amber to become a pelvic health physiotherapist. She has a special interest in women’s health and loves to educate and empower women about their body, particularly in regards to the changes that happen during pregnancy, the postpartum period and menopause. She also works with patients experiencing painful intercourse and individuals with chronic pelvic pain, including endometriosis.
Amber loves helping women prepare for childbirth, whether it is a vaginal delivery or cesarean. She helps women in their postpartum period by guiding them through recovery exercises, including treatment for diastasis rectus abdominus, and ultimately helps navigate a safe return to pre-pregnancy activity levels.
Amber also feels that educating women throughout their perimenopause and postmenopausal journey is so important. She helps to address any genitourinary symptoms of menopause, and can help with preventative exercises for anyone who loves to be prepared!
Amber uses a trauma-informed approach when treating patients, providing a safe and judgement-free environment for patients to express their history and triggers to take the steps towards healing.
Amber strongly believes that understanding one’s history is the key to a successful recovery, which is why her treatment approach includes a ton of education, as well as exercise guidance, manual therapies and dry needling/acupuncture as needed. As a patient of Amber’s, you can always expect to feel seen and heard and you’ll immediately feel at ease thanks to her caring nature.
