Trained in Pelvic Health Physiotherapy
BScPT, DOMP, MA, PhD (ABD)
Erika has been a physiotherapist since 1995, having worked in many different countries and within many different specializations. She found her niche of pelvic physiotherapy, after having a particularly pesky pelvis during her first pregnancy in 2006. Since that time, she has devoted herself to understanding the biomechanics of the pelvic region and how physiotherapy approaches can bring relief for bladder, bowel, and sexual function disorders and pelvic, hip, and low back pain syndromes.
Erika holds a Masters degree and has completed all but her dissertation of her Ph.D. She received the Governor General’s Gold Medal as top graduate student and was awarded the prestigious Killam Scholar award. To advance her manual skills, Erika completed training as a manual osteopath. Erika has received advanced-level certification in the treatment of incontinence, urgency and voiding problems, pelvic organ prolapse, bladder pain syndromes, sexual pain syndromes, anorectal disorders, pelvic girdle pain in pregnancy, pediatric urinary and bowel dysfunctions, and most recently, treatment of lactation difficulties in both mother and baby. She treats people of all genders. Her clinic is an inclusive, supportive, and trauma-informed space that focuses exclusively on the treatment of pelvic conditions.
