Who are Our Chiropractors?

My journey into chiropractic started at a very young age with a simple low back injury. My father had taken me to see his chiropractor. I had never been to a chiropractor and was more than curious as to what to expect from my first visit. When I walked in to my chiropractor’s office I was awestruck by the warmth and friendly nature of the clinic. It felt as though the clinic radiated with healing energy. An energy that I had not experience in any other doctors office. My problem was diagnosed and treated, however my chiropractor didn’t stop there. He began to teach me how to live well and be strong. It was that day…That single experience… that led me down the path to becoming a chiropractor.

I started Baseline Chiropractic Centre in 2005.Chiropractic has been an integral part of my life since the age of 10. I was a competitive swimmer and suffered a shoulder injury. One of my swim coaches was also a chiropractor. My experience was a truly eye opening one, even at that age. My shoulder improved so fast, and I was able to return to swimming and even improve my performance. In high school my chiropractor asked me to come and work at his office as an office assistant. This job gave me further insight to the greatness of chiropractic. People of all ages with many different issues were being helped by the chiropractors. So many got better, and were empowered to improve their lives and health. I love being a part of everyone’s journey to a better life, creating a balance between physical, chemical and emotional health.

I initially was introduced to chiropractic in high school after a low back injury. It was then where I first considered becoming a chiropractor; although I took the long road to achieving this. After taking 3 years off after high school I completed a 2 year diploma program in Physical Therapy Assistant from Grant MacEwan University and completed three years of my Kinesiology degree from the University of Alberta. I then packed my bags and moved across country where I completed my Doctor of Chiropractic degree at Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto. I graduated from Chiropractic school in June 2010 and returned to Alberta that summer. After being a patient of Dr. Fleck’s for a couple of years it was an exciting opportunity to join the team at Baseline Chiropractic in August of 2010. After a shoulder injury in University I was exposed to Active Release treatments. It was this firsthand experience that inspired me to take the Active Release courses to become full body certified as well as certified in Graston technique. I am passionate about helping you feel your absolute best through chiropractic adjustments, Active Release, rehabilitation exercises, Graston, and nutrition. I consider myself to be an enthusiastic lifelong learner and am always looking to evolve my practice. In my spare time I love to kick box, lift weights, hang out with my favorite canine Jack and spend quality time with family and friends. I absolutely love my job and can’t imagine doing anything else.

Growing up playing contact sports, I spent a lot of time visiting my chiropractor. After experiencing the benefits that allowed me to continue playing the sports I loved, I became interested in chiropractic as a career for myself. The thought of having the opportunity to provide others with what was provided to me became exciting. Sometime later while in high school and during a visit with my chiropractor, he suggested that I look into the profession and ever since then I knew that this was what I wanted to do.
When the time came to take real steps in starting my career, I was off for Portland, Oregon and the University of Western States where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Human Biology and my Chiropractic degree.
My ultimate goal in practice is to help patients move and feel better while providing a welcoming, supportive environment where patients feel heard, understood, and empowered in their own health and wellness.
When not in the clinic, I enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, camping, running, snowboarding, and walking my dog. When I can’t be outside, you’re likely to find me weightlifting, trying new coffee shops, and spending time with friends, and family.
