Melissa brings an empathetic, non-judgmental presence that normalizes sensitive conversations. She communicates using simple analogies to make complex topics easier to understand. Sessions feel focused and goal-driven to ensure clients stay on track and are motivated to achieve their own goals for therapy.

Early in her career, Melissa often heard clients mention pelvic symptoms like bladder leakage while she was treating them for back or hip pain. Many believed it was simply “normal after kids” or part of aging. Realizing how much more could be done to help, she began pursuing specialized training in pelvic floor physiotherapy.

Melissa is a great fit for goal-oriented patients who value structure and clear plans. She often works with clients dealing with complex or long-standing concerns who are looking for a thoughtful, in-depth approach to care.

Melissa graduated from McMaster University’s Physiotherapy Program after completing her undergraduate degree in Kinesiology at the University of Waterloo. She has completed over 20 courses in pelvic health, pediatric pelvic health, and pelvic pain, with additional training in acupuncture, visceral mobilization, and pessary management. She is a lab instructor with Pelvic Health Solutions, a teaching company that trains Pelvic Health Physiotherapists.
