One-on-One Cancer Rehabilitation Care
Where you feel safe, comfortable and heard
Welcome!
I believe that you are a whole person and that your care plan should reflect this. Though I come with expert clinical experience and training, I believe strongly that you are the expert of your individual experience. As a result, we will work as a team towards your treatment goals.
One-on-One Cancer Care Pathways
Choose the Way You’d Like to Work Together
In-Person Cancer Rehab Physio
Your appointment is reserved just for you and will occur in my private home-based clinic, located in Ottawa, Ontario. This type of appointment is ideal if hands-on treatment is a part of your treatment plan and/or if you prefer face-to-face interaction.
Virtual Cancer Rehab Physio
Virtual appointments are done via a secure video portal and are open to all residents of Ontario, Canada. This type of appointment is ideal if you live outside of the Ottawa area, want to avoid the commute to the clinic, if you aren’t feeling well enough to leave home, or if you prefer the convenience of virtual appointments from the comfort of your own home.
Virtual Consultations
These consultations offer general advice and guidelines regarding cancer rehabilitation. Specific treatment advice (such as exercise prescription and hands-on techniques) will not be covered. This type of appointment is ideal if you’re looking for a “2nd opinion” or general advice to help guide your treatment decision-making, from a cancer rehabilitation perspective.
What to Expect
I use 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 your quality of life. We will work together as a team, to meet your treatment goals.
My Expectations of You
- You take an active role in your wellbeing
- You make space and time for healing
- You are curious about the interconnectedness of body and mind in healing
- In between sessions, you schedule in your regular “physio self-care” as you would any other appointment. This is where the real transformation happens!
Your Expectations of Me
- I will provide a space where you feel safe, comfortable and heard
- I will offer a treatment plan that integrates you as a whole person
- I will gently challenge you to make purposeful physical activity a priority (in whatever form is appropriate for you)
- I will support you within my skill set and scope of practice. If you would benefit from additional support, I will refer you to one of my trusted colleagues.
