About Kristyn

Kristyn believes that feelings of connection, within a fun environment, are at the heart of successful pediatric physiotherapy treatment. She is dedicated to creating this in a unique and individualized manner within each and every therapy session. 

Kristyn grew up in Ottawa where, from an early age, she had an affinity for both movement and working with children. She was a competitive gymnast, an avid skier/snowboarder and a general enthusiast of adventure and the outdoors.

After completing her Kinesiology degree she headed to Japan to teach English to local children. This was an enriching experience and also helped in solidifying her growing interest in the field of physiotherapy.  By 2008, she had graduated from the University of Alberta with a Master’s degree in Physical Therapy, was living in Vancouver and had found valuable opportunities that allowed her to pursue her passion for pediatrics and neurology. From there, she leapt into the role of being the sole pediatric physiotherapist for the Northern Albertan hospital and surrounding regions of Fort McMurray. Edmonton was the next stop on her journey. Here, she worked for Alberta Health Services providing home care for children with complex needs, worked at the Stollery Children’s Hospital and within the school boards.
