With over 20 years of clinical experience in pelvic health, MJ is a much sought after physiotherapist for the treatment of incontinence, pelvic pain and pregnancy- related pelvic girdle pain. A graduate of the University of Ottawa’s Bachelor of Science in Physiotherapy program (1995), MJ began her post-graduate studies in pelvic health in 1997 pursuing courses in Canada, US and in Europe.
Passionate about pelvic health, MJ was recruited to teach with Pelvic Health Solutions in 2011. This company offers high quality courses for physiotherapists, nurses and physicians in the field of pelvic health. She is involved in mentoring clinicians and medical students from the Northern Ontario School of Medicine and the Canadian Association for Enterostomal Therapy. She is also involved in clinical research and has co-authored a research paper with Dr. Sinead Dufour at McMaster University looking at the link between LBP and the pelvic floor disorders. MJ has been invited to speak at many conferences both in Canada and in the US on the topics of Pelvic Health.
MJ has drawn anatomy since her University days and has developed an anatomical model of the pelvic floor which is sold internationally to health professionals.
MJ was born and raised in Sudbury but has called North Bay her home for the last 21 years. She co-owns Gateway Physiotherapy.
