Hi there! I am Hennie,
a passionate and experienced physiotherapist who is dedicated to providing evidence-based physical therapy services to my patients.
I completed my Bachelor's degree in Science with Honours at the University of British Columbia, and then went on to complete my Master's degree in Physical Therapy at the University of Western Ontario.
My Clinical Journey
In 2010, I started working in a private clinic helping patients with musculoskeletal and orthopedic conditions such as neck and back pain, arthritic pain, and overuse injuries.
In 2013, I expanded my practice to include acute care, long-term care and community homes at Richmond Hospital. This experience gave me a deeper appreciation of our healthcare system and the importance of working within a healthcare team.
In the same year, I received my training as a Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist at BC Women’s Hospital and Health Centre, and have continued to advance my knowledge in Pelvic and Women's Health Physical Therapy through ongoing education.
Today,
I specialize in Women’s Health and Seniors' Health, with a focus on Pelvic Health, Cancer Rehab, and Persistent Pain Management. My practice is designed to meet women's needs at different life stages, including:
- Expectant Women
- Postpartum Women
- "Resilient" Women
The Physio Mom
As a mother of two beautiful children, I have personally experienced the challenges and joys of motherhood. Through my own pregnancies and postpartum recovery, I gained a deeper understanding of the importance of pelvic floor health and self-care.
I am passionate about helping other mothers prioritize their own well-being and self-love. I believe that by caring for ourselves, we can better care for our loved ones. Motherhood is an incredible journey, but it can also be overwhelming at times. That's why I'm here to support and encourage you every step of the way.
