Angela graduated from U of T in 2004 with a Masters of Physical Therapy and has been working in private practice in the North Okanagan ever since.

Angela’s approach to pelvic health physiotherapy is also enriched from Diane Lee’s model of treating lumbo-pelvic-hip dysfunction, The Barral Institute’s approach to visceral manipulation (organ stretching) and B.C.Women’s and Children’s Hospital’s approach to pelvic floor and incontinence rehabilitation.

When Angela isn’t working, she is trying to keep up with her 2 young toddlers and takes any opportunity to ride her mountain bike and cross country ski.
