​

Heather's interest lies in assisting individuals with neurological injuries and working with pediatric cases. She volunteered for two organizations throughout her undergraduate degree: the Saskatchewan Association for the Rehabilitation of the Brain Injured and the Child Physical Activity for Active Living (PAAL) program.

 

In 2017, Heather took on a one-year temporary pediatric position, allowing her to expand her expertise in this field. In 2019, she returned to the same pediatric position for another temporary term, which eventually evolved into a permanent position. This continuity in her role further enriched her experience and knowledge in pediatrics.

 

During her five years working with pediatric clients, Heather's knowledge of pediatrics has grown substantially. Heather has worked with individuals with Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, Autism Spectrum Disorder, plagiocephaly and torticollis, muscle diseases, and various genetic and metabolic conditions. Heather has continued to expand her knowledge through educational courses and participated in a Pediatric Gait Analysis and Orthotic Intervention course. Heather has numerous pediatric courses that she plans to complete in the near future. 

 

Heather lives in Saskatoon with her husband and a small dog, Zoe.

Heather earned her Bachelor of Kinesiology with Distinction in 2007 and worked as an exercise therapist for two years before returning to obtain her Master's in Physical Therapy in 2012. 

 

Since graduating, Heather has worked in a variety of clinic settings. Heather worked for the public sector in Melfort, Saskatchewan, for three years. During that time, she worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings. While in Melfort, Heather focused on her orthopedic skills and received diplomas in Advanced Orthopedic Manual and Manipulative Physiotherapy - Level I, Level II Upper Quadrant, and Level II Lower Quadrant. 

 

Heather relocated to Saskatoon in 2015, working in the public sector with tertiary-level SGI clientele in a multidisciplinary setting. During that time, Heather developed knowledge of chronic pain and completed a course on Mobilization of the Nervous System.
