Get to know our team members.

I am a firm believer we all deserve to live to our fullest potential, and it’s our birthright to express ourselves at the ultimate level of health. Health is not the absence of symptoms – it’s a sense of vitality you have in your life.

You know the feeling you get in the morning when you wake up and take a big stretch? I believe every minute of the day should feel that juicy. This is what I emphasize for the practice members at Foster Family Chiropractic. Health is bringing forth that same sense of connectedness with your body throughout the day.

I was born and raised in Toronto as part of a chiropractic family. I graduated from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College Magna Cum Laude, and was a proud recipient of the award for “exceptional communication and commitment to patient education” in my clinic year.

It’s important to me to see my community flourish. I want to elevate the health of the people around me and see the entire community prosper and shine. I enjoy being a regular contributor to various wellness-based magazines in the York Region, and also lecturing on health-related topics, or facilitating workshops and educational seminars.

The biggest value in my life is family, and this is something I bring to my leadership role at Foster Family Chiropractic. It’s why FFC revolves around family too. Whether it’s my family or my extended FFC family, I feel a calling to provide the resources our practice members need to thrive in their lives.

From a young age, I knew I wanted to work in healthcare. I grew up playing hockey and baseball, which is probably why I’m so drawn to being a part of a team environment like the one at FFC. During that time I saw a chiropractor regularly, so I had already experienced how this kind of care can help you reduce pain, support mobility, and enhance sports performance. As I got older, I learned more about alternative health modalities, but as soon as the practice of chiropractic entered my mind it was an easy decision to pursue it.

I believe achieving a healthy lifestyle is a journey none of us should take alone, and I love being there to walk the path right alongside our practice members. We all need and deserve support and guidance along the way, and I believe it’s my role as a chiropractor to provide this for my community. I’m on a mission to help you improve your health in mind and body, and I’m grateful to be a part of your healing story.

Seeing how our practice members are making progress in changing their lives for the better is what motivates me every single day. Being a part of the FFC team is so rewarding because it’s a place where people’s needs are truly heard. Building personal connections with my patients and becoming a part of their daily lives makes me feel good.

I am always looking to continue my education in the field and build upon my chiropractic practice. I am also licensed in Contemporary Medical Acupuncture and I’m a member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association. I come from a sports background both personally and professionally, so I bring an in-depth knowledge of sports-related issues to my work.

My broad-range of knowledge is what makes me who I am as a chiropractor. I’m comfortable treating many different areas, and I believe this is what allows me to provide a well-rounded approach to family-based care. I love supporting all family members – from babies to children, teens to parents, and grandparents. As your chiropractor, I feel honoured to share in your life and help you feel well.

I saw a hiring ad for Foster Family Chiropractic 17 years ago. I walked in with my application in hand, wearing a giant smile across my face, and the rest is history. I’ve been a part of this team ever since. I’m grateful to be considered a fixture in this healing space, and I love interacting with the practice members. It’s rewarding to see how many of our members initially came in for their visits as children, and are still visiting as adults today.

I believe people deserve to be seen, heard, and supported. This belief really informs the work I do. I want every practice member to know their needs matter, and ensure they have a positive experience from the moment they walk in the door. At FFC, you can trust we’re going to take care of you.

I’m usually the first person our practice members see when they arrive, and often the last person they come in contact with when they leave. These small interactions can make a big difference. You might be here for an adjustment, but the care you receive goes so much further than that.

Throughout my time here, I’ve learned just how powerful a holistic lifestyle can be. I’ve been able to apply so much of what I’ve learned to support my own wellbeing. I believe in using the power of the body to heal. What we think, what we eat, and how we move our body can influence us in so many ways. It’s all connected, and this is why caring for our holistic health is so important. When we make the space for our practice members to care for themselves, I see how their quality of life is impacted in a positive way.

The first time I walked through the doors at Foster Family Chiropractic, I was just a kid. I come from a family that values preventative care – my mom brought us in regularly for general health maintenance. I always felt cared for by the team, so when an opportunity popped up to join FFC and help out with marketing and community events, I was excited to get involved.

I’m not one to shy away from taking chances and trying new things – and I bring that mindset to my work. I love how my role at FFC allows me to express myself in new, creative ways.

What I love most about our team is how we work together towards a common goal. We’re invested in achieving successful outcomes for our practice members and our community. I believe that energy is as apparent when you follow us on social media as it is when you walk through our doors.

The name “Foster Family” is perfectly suited to this clinic – we’re all about building connections here. You can trust our team members to go above and beyond in their service and treat you like they would their own family members. Our warm, inviting space is the perfect place to take time out of your day and make yourself a priority.

When I joined the team at Foster Family Chiropractic, I was ready for a change. I’ve always loved working with people, but when the pandemic began I felt the call to help and care for others in a new way.

Here at FFC, we take pride in our ability to truly listen to your needs. Practice members usually meet me at the front desk or during the diagnostics process. It’s important to me that I’m able to help you feel at ease during your visit with us. Building a rapport with our practice members comes naturally to me. I’m here to chat through any concerns you have and make sure you feel comfortable.

It’s so fulfilling to watch our practice members work towards their goals with us. No matter what you’ve been through, you’re welcome here and you will be heard. We really are a warm, supportive community – one that is grounded in deep trust and camaraderie amongst the team and our practice members.

Often, people come to us in pain. And a little kindness goes a long way in helping people through challenging times. I believe it’s my responsibility to spread kindness and this is how I’m able to make a difference in people’s lives.

I’m a big believer in the power of family-focused healing—I know from personal experience. When I was nine, I suffered a neck injury that left me with chronic headaches for most of my adolescence. It wasn’t until I was 17 and my aunt encouraged me to see a chiropractor that I finally found relief. I’ve been hooked ever since.

Nothing inspires me more than seeing families being treated together. My three kids have been on a wellness plan since they were babies because I know how important of a role preventative care plays in building good overall health. The moment I learned of Foster Family Chiropractic’s dedication to family care, I knew this was the place I wanted to be.

Here at FFC, our practice members feel like extended family. I am so proud to work in a welcoming, supportive space where practice members know they are deeply cared for.

Outside of the clinic, our days are filled with hustle and tension, and I like to help change that. My goal is to welcome you into the clinic with open arms and invite you to put down the weight of your stress. I aim to be a bright spot in your day and look forward to witnessing how your energy shifts when you emerge from the treatment room.
