After graduating with an M.Sc Physio degree from McMaster University in 2006, Michelle moved to Perth, Western Australia. Michelle quickly built up a thriving private practice predominantly filled with young athletes involved in a variety of state and national sport programs. Her reputation for quick and effective treatment followed by focused exercise programming to improve sport performance allowed her to have a wait-listed practice within 2 years.

In 2010, Michelle launched the ground-breaking Pilates 4 Kids program aimed at children 6-18. This program was very popular and continues to thrive under its current ownership in Perth. In January of 2011, Michelle moved back to Canada to work for Cirque Du Soleil at their International Headquarters where she treated the highest-calibre international athletes and performing artists. Now settled in Ottawa with her family, Michelle is excited to bring her wealth of knowledge and experience to Soma Health and Fitness.

While in Australia, Michelle undertook a significant amount of continuing education and was lucky to be taught and trained by the best researchers and clinicians in the profession. Michelle is certified with the Acupuncture Foundation of Canada (2006), Kinesiotaping International (2009) and completed the Trigenics certification program (2010). Michelle is also a Clinical Pilates Specialist having undergone training with Polestar Pilates.

In her spare time, Michelle keeps fit doing Crossfit and enjoys all things outdoorsy- hiking, running, snowshoeing, and cycling.
