Nicole was born and raised in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. She obtained her Master of Physical Therapy in 2010 after completing her Bachelor of Science in Physiology, graduating with distinction, from the University of Saskatchewan. Since then, Nicole moved to Calgary and has worked in a variety of clinical settings. She has actively pursued post graduate training and has obtained a Certificate in Acupuncture with the Acupuncture Foundation of Canada and a certificate in Gunn Intramuscular Stimulation. She has also obtained her Diploma in Advanced Integrated Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy and is a fellow of the Canadian Academy of Manual and Musculoskeletal Physiotherapists (FCAMPT). This is the highest designation orthopaedic physiotherapists can obtain and requires extensive post-graduate training. Nicole is authorized to perform spinal manipulation and is also able to order diagnostic imaging (Xray, U/S, MRI) for patients, if indicated.

Women’s Health is another primary area of interest. While working for the Primary Care Network, Nicole had the opportunity to work within maternity clinics where her passion for prenatal and postnatal care arose. Nicole is certified to treat urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic pain and the retraining of pelvic floor muscles. She has also pursued training in Clinical Pilates Reformer, and incorporates many Pilates based exercises for her patients. She is passionate on guiding women through both their prenatal and postpartum journey, including returning to high intensity and impact sport.

Outside of work, Nicole stays active with weight training, pilates, and walking. She enjoys being outside and spending time with her family.
