Rebecca was born and raised in the small town of Rocky Mountain House, Alberta. She graduated from the University of Lethbridge with a Bachelor of Kinesiology in 2017 and later ventured to Vancouver to complete a Masters of Physical Therapy at the University of British Columbia in 2019. Her passion for the beautiful outdoors and the Rocky Mountains led her back to Alberta, as she now calls Calgary home.
With over 5 years of clinical experience, Rebecca has worked in a variety of healthcare settings including acute care, inpatient neurological rehab, and outpatient rehabilitation. As a lifelong learner, she has obtained her certification course for the treatment of stroke and brain injury through the Neuro-Developmental Treatment Association (NDTA) in 2022. Rebecca has also obtained further education in other areas of practice including vestibular rehab and strength training for older adults. She enjoys incorporating a spectrum of approaches into treatment sessions including education, manual therapy, and individualized exercises. Most recently, she has completed yoga teacher training (RYT- 200hr) and is excited to integrate these skills into practice.
Rebecca is passionate about functional mobility and physical activity participation across the lifespan. She strives to meet an individual where they are at and empower them to be a hero in their own story. As a strong believer of holistic care, Rebecca was drawn to the tight-knit community of health care practitioners and clients at Synaptic and Elevate. Rebecca is excited to join the team with the unified pursuit of optimizing an individual’s function and achieving their goals!
When Rebecca is not in the clinic, you can find her exploring the outdoors with her partner and dog, lifting weights at the local gym, road cycling or enjoying a yoga class.
If Rebecca was an ice cream flavor, she would be Moose Tracks. A blend of vanilla ice cream, peanut butter cups, and fudgey swirls. The flavor brings back childhood memories of adventuring in the outdoors!
