Bio

I have been practicing as a certified orthotist since 1988 and I specialize in pediatrics. I received my orthotic certification in Canada and am also certified in the USA. I received my undergraduate pre-med degrees in Biology/Psychology from the University of Victoria in 1996. I received my Associates Degree in Orthotics and Prosthetics from British Columbia of Technology in 1988.

I moved to the US in 1998 and have been practicing for 21 years. Treating Toe-Walking has been a particular interest for more than 21 years and I have created many evaluations/questions over these years in collaboration with local therapists and doctors. I have many patients who come from out of state for my unique approach to toe walking.

I have been invited to lecture in 3 countries in Scandinavia and I regularly teach/collaborate with the community of therapists located in the state of Arizona. In addition, I have lectured at AAOP (American Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists) and in my Mastermind discussion group.
