Hello, my name is Isabelle (she/her) and I’m a Physiotherapy Resident with the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario. I completed a Bachelor in Science (BSc) of Human Kinetics, followed by a Master of Health Sciences (MHSc) in Physiotherapy, both at the University of Ottawa. During my schooling, I was fortunate to have shadowed and learned from other pelvic health physiotherapist and immediately found an interest for this field. After graduating, I completed postgraduate pelvic health courses to further develop my knowledge and skills in this area.
Growing up, being active was always an important part of my life so I knew I wanted a career that reflected this value. Prior to becoming a physiotherapist, I worked with the University of Ottawa’s women varsity team as a student training offering prevention and rehabilitation support as well as a strength and conditioning intern assisting with developing and coaching training programs. It was during this time I discovered my passion for helping individuals get back to the activities they enjoy whether that’s a sport, gardening, walking, or their activities of daily living.
