After more than a decade away (nine‑plus years of education with a few wild travel chapters woven in), I came home to the Ottawa Valley to focus on animal chiropractic. I hold a Bachelor of Science with Honours from Acadia University, a Doctor of Chiropractic from the New Zealand College of Chiropractic, and certification in animal chiropractic through the International Academy of Veterinary Chiropractic. While living in New Zealand, I founded and ran Auckland Animal Chiropractic.

​

My love for animals started early. I grew up in Beachburg with horses in the backyard and dogs always underfoot. Some of my fondest memories come from hanging out in my mom’s vet clinic, spending time in the pet room playing with puppies. Raised by a chiropractor dad and a vet mom, I saw from day one what it means to serve your community with skill, compassion, and consistency.

​

I’ve had my fair share of adventures before coming back to Canada—perhaps the wildest was buying two horses and riding them solo across Mongolia. The nomadic families I stayed with called me “the woman who rides alone.” In many ways, that’s how it felt when I first started Flow Animal Chiropractic: building something from the ground up, one client, one barn, and one animal at a time.

​

Today, Flow Animal Chiropractic provides in‑clinic care for small animals in Carleton Place and mobile care for horses, farm animals, and small animals across the Ottawa Valley, often in collaboration with their veterinary teams. I live in Carleton Place with my fiancé and our dog, Coa, who keeps me honest about what life with a much‑loved, wonky‑hip dog is really like. I’m grateful that I no longer ride alone: Flow has grown into a community of wonderful people who care deeply about their animals and trust me to be part of their care. I get to spend my days helping animals move, feel, and live at their best, and I truly can’t imagine doing anything else.
