About Sarah
MPT / Registered Physiotherapist
Sarah graduated from the University of Victoria in 2003 with a Biology degree (honours with distinction), followed by a Master of Physical Therapy from the University of British Columbia in 2006. Since graduation she has pursued many post-graduate courses in manual therapy, the vestibular system and vertigo, the shoulder, and the pelvic floor.
Through the pelvic floor training she has received, Sarah is confident treating conditions ranging from urinary and fecal incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse, to pre - and postpartum care, as well as pelvic pain conditions such as vulvodynia, vestibulodynia, vaginismus and others. She has also taken advanced courses regarding oncology and the pelvic floor, and bladder and bowel treatment of the client with neurologic dysfunction. While Sarah started specializing in the pelvic floor in 2017 she also maintained a strong orthopaedic caseload. She has found it rewarding to be able to integrate skills learned in both spheres to best treat individual patients.
Sarah was raised in Victoria, spent 16 wonderful years in the West Kootenays and returned once again to Victoria in 2022. She is happy to be able to provide care at Vela Health in beautiful Oak Bay.
In her free time Sarah enjoys swimming, running and skiing. She also loves the time spent with her husband and son in the outdoors, be it paddling, hiking, or camping.
