Sarah is currently completing her training in IMS dry needling and will be offering this service in late October 2025.

Sarah values an active and outdoorsy lifestyle - one of the biggest reasons for her move to BC. She enjoys staying active through rock climbing, hiking, weightlifting, and yoga. Sarah has been strength training since high school and enjoys teaching patients, especially women, how to safely add strength training into their routine. In addition to her favourite activities,

Sarah loves trying out new sports so that she can more closely relate to her patients and their experiences. She recently learned how to play hockey for the first time as an adult and looks forward to continuing to learn how to snowboard. Sarah’s other hobbies include camping, reading, and adding new plants to her collection at home.

She is excited to explore more of BC and would happily take any trail or climbing recommendations!
