Hi, I’m Monica! 👋
I’ve been a PT for 7 years now, and have been working in outpatient orthopaedics covering everything from ankle sprains, to concussions, to paediatric ortho trauma, and plenty in between. I’m married to the best guy in the world and we have the best little boy in the world. I love Jesus, all things outdoors, fitness, embroidering, stepping on crunchy leaves, and a good latte.
The why 🤍
Starting physio school, I was certain I would land in the sport PT world. With my high-level sport involvement, love of fitness, and all of my clinical experience thus far being in sports rehab, it seemed like a natural fit. That was until I saw a pelvic floor physiotherapist for ongoing pelvic pain that I have been experiencing for nearly 3 years following a pelvic fracture (in hindsight, I can only shake my head at myself for waiting so long! 🙈). Completing physio school and increased education in the pelvic field steered me further in this direction. I’ve always been fascinated by the truly miraculous event of pregnancy and childbirth, but once I learned about the heavy need for rehab in this field, I felt deeply compelled to serve my community in this way and pursued further training. After a brief hiatus from the pelvic world to build an outpatient paediatric orthopaedic program at Victoria Hospital, and then to spend a wonderful year at home with my son, I had some decisions to make.
I’ve always held the value of being a human first and a physio second, which has only amplified with motherhood. I’ve always wanted to be home to raise my babies if I could, and I wrestled greatly with what returning to work would look like for our family (I can’t even tell you the number of times I bawled my eyes out… mamas, iykyk!). But, with a few surprises along the way that pointed toward something new, I felt affirmed in my decision for a career change. So here I am, starting up my own practice so that I can work part-time and be home more with my little boy, back in my hometown. Human first. PT second.
The logo 🦋
I wanted to create a logo that was reflective of both the scientific and the human side of pelvic floor PT. With hours of doodling and the help of a little AI refinement, I landed on a butterfly pelvis. The imagery of metamorphosis is so in tune with rehab, and with motherhood: much of it is mundane, a lot of the hard work goes unseen, but it can truly be one the most beautiful and miraculous transformations in life. My hope is that pelvic floor physio can help you morph your perception of your experience, your diagnosis, your body, and help you to see and feel something that is truly beautiful.
