Laura Patrick
Clinic Owner & Physiotherapist
Laura founded Kids Physio Group in 2006 in the most humble of surroundings. After 3 years working in the public system with school-aged kids, she recognized a need for all children to have access to trained pediatric physiotherapists in a clinic space designed just for them.
In the past few years, Laura has stepped back from clinical work. Although she still loves taking on the occasional baby motor milestone assessment and the opportunity it gives her to connect with parents, most of her efforts are dedicated to running Kids Physio Group and seeking out new partnerships and markets for us to expand into!
On the personal front, Laura loves outdoor adventures with her family in Deep Cove, keeping up her fitness, exploring new cities abroad, and cooking and eating delicious food!

Amie Gordon Spence
Physiotherapist
Amie has always lived an active life - playing field hockey, running, hiking, and skiing. Since moving to Canada, she has taken up biking and climbing and spent her first winter here as an adaptive ski instructor with the Whistler Adaptive Program. There, she worked closely with children of all abilities, including those on the autism spectrum, gaining insight into how movement, fun, and connection can come together to support development. While studying for her Canadian physiotherapy licensing exams, Amie also worked as a nanny, where she found herself drawn to supporting the children she cared for in reaching their developmental milestones.
