This high-level of quality and service has helped me become the number one choice for many residents of Barrhaven and surrounding areas for Chiropractic care, and custom orthotics.
Originally from Trois-Rivières, QC, I have been in practice in Barrhaven since 1993.

Additionally, I hold positions with the Canadian Chiropractic Board of Examiners and the College of Chiropractors of Ontario. It has been very professionally fulfilling and gratifying to serve the Chiropractic profession outside the traditional clinic sense, all the while providing an opportunity for myself to continuously learn and remain the best Chiropractor I can be.

She is a member of the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario as well as the Registered Massage Therapists Association of Ontario.
Angela is passionate about providing comprehensive treatment plans that are attainable for her patients. She focuses on postural alignment, headache and migraine relief, correcting repetitive stress injuries, nerve entrapment, TMJ dysfunction, sports injuries, stress management and remedial exercise.
