Last weekend I was lucky enough to take part in CranioSacral Therapy 1: Assessment of Central Nervous System & Fascia for Fully Body Treatment Protocol in Edmonton. 4 days straight - full of learning and unlearning.

Craniosacral is a light-touch method of manual therapy aimed to release tension and restriction within the body. It can help regulate your nervous system, relieve pain and dysfunction and help your body improve its overall function.

If you are familiar with my treatment style -you will realize this light-touch approach is a drastically different than what treatments usually look like. My intention with exploring this new treatment technique and tool is to be able to add in something to my treatment regime and repertoire to help address more complex sides to pain and nervous system stress.

I am looking forward to deepening this skill-set and widening the treatment options for you. Right now I am practicing these skills before taking level 2 in February. I will be posting more information about this treatment in the coming days.

I have some intentions and plans with how I can incorporate it into practice and offer a new and different combination that brings in these techniques and my other treatment approaches. How this works or what it will look is something I am still working out but I trust it will develop in time!

If you’re at all curious about it – please reach out to me and we can discuss!!

Thank you!!! 💙

It’s hard to believe it’s been just over 6 months since I opened the doors to JD Performance Therapy.

So much has happened in those 6 months it’s been hard to keep up (and why I have been quiet on here)!

I am forever grateful for all of you for supporting me throughout the years and with the transitions and moves that lead me here to this place!

I am loving the new location inside Tri Fit Training . We have been able to develop a wonderful collaborative relationship and it’s great to watch everyone flourish!

I have been lucky enough to be nominated for Airdrie Community Votes and I would love your support if you feel called to vote for me! Link can be found in my stories and also at the link in my bio.

I am planning on sharing more of what these last 6 months have looked like when I have a chance to catch my breath.

But again, thank you to everyone!!

New Website Launch! 🚀💻

I have been working behind the scenes for a bit now to give my website a refresher. It’s officially up and running and is live as of last night!

I’m really happy with how it turned out and hope it gives a great outline of what I do!

There may still be some hiccups of links I missed or other things - so if you see something that doesn’t work – please let me know so I can fix it!

Thank you to everyone for their continued support through my transition into the new space and launch of everything. I appreciate it & your kind words more than you know!

Who do I work with? 🤔
 I work with anyone! But I specialize in working with First Responders & Athletes. With my background in Athletic Therapy & sport combined with Physio – I have a unique background and experience to help these populations succeed.

Over the years I have worked with many Firefighters, Police Officers, Paramedics and other Front Line medical personnel. I have combined the knowledge and information from each individual I’ve worked with with my background of working in sport to have a better understanding of the demands placed on their body and system – from physical overload to nervous system dysregulation and stress.

Let’s be real. First Responders ARE athletes.

They deserve their own level and type of care with practitioners that understand the variety of stressors put on their body.

I can offer you that type of care and understanding.

Whether you’re dealing with a new injury or you’re trying to prevent injuries.

Let me help you perform at your best and minimize injury risk.

Exciting news!! 🗣️
It’s time for my next adventure - just in time for the start of the Year of the Fire Horse! 🔥

I am thrilled to announce that I have made a change to my practice! I have decided to break off on my own and officially run & open doors to JD Performance Therapy. Don’t worry – I’m still in Airdrie offering the same level of care, just in a different location.

Thank you to the Airdrie community that have supported & continue to support me through it all - I cannot begin to properly express my gratitude!

I am incredibly excited to announce that I am going to be practicing out of ! I have rented a room out of their facility that has a full wall of windows with access to the gym floor for rehab work! I can’t wait to collaborate and work hand in hand with the amazing team that already calls the space home.

Doors officially open Monday February 16th – I can’t wait to show you the space that is slowly (and yet quickly) coming together!

You can find the booking link in my bio. Comment or DM any questions!

Thinking outside the box doesn’t necessarily come easy to us practitioners, especially when it’s outside of the box we have been conditioned to function within.

Can we make up the most creative rehab protocol or pull on the most recent scientific data or talk your ear off about how your pinky finger can be linked to your baby toe? Yes, we totally can.

But ask us to think about where we can grow and expand on how we provide care and practice – we freeze. All we can think of is how to improve our metrics, our work set up, access to courses, our SEO, the latest strategy and data, the best course we have heard of or magically get our charting done for us etc etc etc.

What happens outside of all of that? What happens when we deepen into what we are actually offering people? Outside of the science and the research and the data… We get into unfamiliar terrain and probably territory that feels 😬

How often do we encounter the same problem – time and time again but the same strategy that the latest and greatest paper wrote about just does NOT work!? Racking our brains as to what could we be doing wrong!? How did we not get it right?! Then it becomes an us problem instead of an opportunity to dive into what we don’t think about. What isn’t presented in the literature or on that course… what do people need that we haven’t researched and created a protocol about…?

Does any of this feel familiar? Is it frustrating? Pleaseeee leave a comment or send me a DM if any of this resonated! I would love to discuss more.

I’m starting to work on a new project and I have some ideas of my own but I would love to hear from practitioners and/or those who are receiving care. Is there something you wish you had to help support your clientele outside of the in-person time that you get with them?

What I am looking for are ideas outside the classic box of what we already have in clinical care (or wish we had). To deepen that ability we have to help and guide people through their healing process. To not make more work for ourselves, but to help and bring more ease to what we already do.

I know we can talk about billing, online booking, automatic charting (😂 – if only), clinic set up, exercise equipment, exercise software, more hours in a day, modalities, time frame etc etc etc etc until we are blue in the face. But I really don’t want that to be the topic of conversation here – I want to go deeper and more abstract than what we currently work and operate in.

Any ideas or thoughts are welcome and would love to open up a dialogue around this topic.

If you are someone receiving care and have things you WISH you had access to outside of the time you spend in the clinic, please also let me know! But again, I am thinking outside the box of wanting exercises sent digitally, different booking, time frame of appointments, 24 hr access to your practitioner etc etc.

Not saying that all the regular things aren’t important to discuss and that we didn’t wish we could offer it all or have it all – but I want to think differently here. We won’t get anywhere by discussing the same thing over and over and over and just getting pi**ed about it the things we don’t like. I want to cultivate growth and support and change!

Can’t wait to open this up and discuss!

Thank you ✨🥰

I am so humbled, honoured and damn excited to tell you that I achieved Gold level in the category of best Physio & Rehab Clinic in Airdrie Community Votes 2023.

Thank you for the nomination, thank you for the votes and all the ways you support me both here and in person. ⭐️

Being nominated as an individual practitioner in a sea of bigger businesses & clinics, some more corporate than others was something I never expected or anticipated. To be right up there with clinics that have multiple practitioners you can vote for under one umbrella and still come out in one of the top spots, means the world to me.

I love what I do & in that I have drastically changed how I approach work over the last few years. Not only has it felt good to me, but it feels like my community of humans is feeling it too.

Congratulations to all the other winners and nominees in all categories!

Can’t wait to see what’s next! 🩵
