Hi, I’m Beth
Cancer has been a part of my life since I was 11 years old, when my mother was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. As a daughter, I was inspired by my mother’s transition to prioritize her wellbeing, all while facing the fear of uncertainty. As a “previvor” and woman, I make intentional choices to care for myself, while still walking my own path of grief, trauma and loss.
As a cancer rehab physio, I promote action from a space of “recovery mode”, after working with hundreds of people frozen in the fear of “survival mode.”
This path isn’t always easy but it has led me to this place I call home. I welcome you here with open arms.

What is Cancer Rehabilitation?
Cancer rehabilitation aims to reduce or eliminate the side effects of cancer treatment while improving your quality of life. This support can be offered at any stage of your cancer experience: before, during and after treatment. My whole-person approach to cancer recovery integrates movement, education and hands-on techniques with the science of the body-mind connection.

Breast Cancer Rehabilitation
Even 6 years after diagnosis, over 60% of people diagnosed with breast cancer will experience 1 or more treatment side effect that could be improved with cancer rehabilitation.* Problems such as pain & tightness, shoulder problems, lymphedema, fatigue, osteoporosis, poor balance, muscle weakness, and pelvic health problems are common but can be improved. As an experienced cancer rehab physio, I can help you feel better now.

Pelvic Health After Cancer
Nearly 50% of all people diagnosed with cancer will face treatments that could negatively impact their pelvic health.* Certain cancer treatments can contribute to pelvic pain, vaginal dryness, urinary incontinence, sexual challenges, constipation and more. Pelvic health physiotherapy can help improve your symptoms, and my pelvic health practice focuses on the unique needs of cancer recovery.

Cancer-Related Lymphedema
Lymphedema is a special type of swelling that can develop after the lymphatic system has been impacted by cancer treatment (e.g. surgery or radiation.) Approximately 5% – 83% of people diagnosed with cancer will develop lymphedema in their lifetime, but the sooner it is diagnosed, the easier it is to treat.* My approach to lymphedema treatment is to individualize it to meet your specific situation.

You Deserve To Do More Than “Just Survive” Cancer
While cancer treatments prioritize the disease, the whole person is often overlooked. Treatment side effects can greatly impact your quality of life but are often dismissed. As a result, you may be left feeling constrained by an unwelcome “new normal.”
But this isn’t the end of your story.
You hold tremendous power to support your own health and wellbeing during and after cancer treatment. I believe in using a whole-person approach to empower you with the best knowledge, tools and support so you can start to minimize your treatment side effects and maximize what matters most… living your life on your terms.
Come join me… because your quality of life matters.
