As a former UBC Varsity and Pro-am soccer player for the Women’s Whitecaps FC, Diane understands an athlete’s drive to compete and her goal is to get every client back at their game as soon as possible.

Diane is a licensed BC Physiotherapist, with a Kinesiology background, STOTT Pilates training, and is completing her Sports Physiotherapy and Manual Therapy levels and Herman & Wallace Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy levels. She first found Clinical Pilates Physiotherapy after being sidelined by a significant soccer injury and attributes the wholistic approach of Pilates Physiotherapy in her successful return to sport. A year after hernia surgery and using a Clinical Pilates approach to rehab she ran her first marathon and qualified for the Boston Marathon. Pilates Physiotherapy is not only an ideal rehab tool for anyone post abdominal surgery  (ex: hernia or C-section) but also in treating and preventing knee, ankle, shoulder injuries and back pain.

Diane recognizes the demands that athletes of all levels face, and uses sport specific exercises grounded in Pilates, manual therapy techniques, neuro principles and modalities to treat the whole body. Her focus is not just to rehab current injuries but also prevent further injuries from occurring and improving overall sport/fitness performance and helping her clients attain their health goals.

When she was unable to play soccer she discovered her love of running and soon found herself competing in half marathons and middle distance sprints both locally and around the world.  These days you can find her along the Vancouver running paths, with friends in a local fitness class or exploring the world-class trails throughout our local and whistler mountains, or back on the soccer field.

Whether you’re a recreational enthusiast or competitive athlete looking to prevent future or rehab existing injuries, to a soon-to-be/ postpartum mom looking to stay healthy during pregnancy or return to activity, Diane looks forward to working with you to help you achieve your health and fitness goals and provide you with the Athlete’s Advantage
