With over a decade of experience as an orthopedic and pelvic health physiotherapist in Toronto, I'm thrilled to have made the beautiful Black Mountain area of Kelowna my home. As an outdoor enthusiast, the stunning Okanagan lifestyle drew me in, and I’m excited to build my practice here at Black Mountain Physio.

My journey into pelvic health began with my own experiences with challenging menstrual periods, back pain, and persistent pelvic discomfort. This personal insight fuels my passion for helping others navigate their own challenges. I specialize in treating running and biking injuries, as well as various pelvic health conditions. My areas of interest include managing pain during intimacy, addressing endometriosis, supporting pregnancy and postpartum recovery—particularly with issues like diastasis recti—and helping those affected by cancer treatment.

I’m dedicated to staying current in my field, continually learning to offer a diverse range of treatments tailored to your needs. Whether it’s hands-on manual therapy, acupuncture, or targeted exercises, my goal is to help you identify and tackle the root causes of your health concerns. Whatever mountain you face, I'm here to support you in reclaiming the activities you love most.

Beyond my one-on-one practice, I believe that knowledge is power. I enjoy sharing my expertise by teaching fellow physiotherapists entering the pelvic health field and leading community workshops. I've had the privilege of presenting to various groups, including runners, new mothers, and menopausal women, as well as at events focused on cancer-related pelvic health.

When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll likely find me exploring the breathtaking BC mountains—whether I’m hiking or trail running with our rescue pup, skiing in winter, or tackling rugged terrain on my mountain bike. When given the chance, I love diving into the underwater world through scuba adventures or enjoying a peaceful paddle on the lake.

Hi, I’m Katie!

I look forward to connecting with you and helping you navigate the mountains on your journey to better health!
