Meet Laurel
Hey, I’m Laurel — a Physical Therapist with over 17 years of experience in both hospital and private practice settings. I grew up on a mixed grain and hog farm outside Rosetown, Saskatchewan, and those early experiences really shaped my calm, practical, and down-to-earth approach to care. I completed my physiotherapy training at the University of Saskatchewan and have since taken extensive post-graduate courses in pelvic health, manual therapy, and acupuncture.
I’m passionate about helping people reconnect with their bodies, especially during big life changes like postpartum recovery, injury, or aging. My approach is hands-on, holistic, and focused on understanding the whole person — not just the symptoms. Whether someone is getting back to running, lifting their kids without pain, or navigating pelvic floor concerns, I love supporting people in feeling strong, capable, and confident again.
Pelvic health can be hard for people to talk about, but it matters deeply. I work hard to create a safe, open space where patients feel heard, validated, and comfortable discussing what they’re experiencing. If you’re nervous about starting therapy, that’s completely normal. My job is to meet you where you’re at, explain what’s going on in a clear and supportive way, and guide you forward at a pace that feels right for you.
Outside the clinic, you’ll usually find me with my family — watching my kids’ activities, spending time outdoors, reading, puzzling, or heading to the lake to recharge. Fun fact: I play guitar!
Education
2002-2007
University of Saskatchewan
I completed my Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy at the University of Saskatchewan. During my time there, I played one season with the Huskies Women’s Volleyball Team and volunteered with the PAAL (Physical Activity for Active Living) program, supporting individuals with physical and intellectual disabilities. These experiences helped shape my appreciation for inclusive movement and community-based activity.
Academically, I was part of the Greystone Scholar Society and received the Joan Eaton Memorial Award for outstanding orthopaedic performance, as well as the Elisa Rieder Memorial Award for my interest in Aboriginal health. My training at the U of S laid the foundation for my approach today—clear communication, evidence-informed problem solving, and helping people build confidence in their movement.
