About Maria

Originally from Ireland, Maria moved to Vancouver in 2017, where she fell in love with the Pacific NorthWest. She feels so lucky to work in a job that she truly loves. She has a passion for helping every child on her caseload reach their full potential. Maria began working as a Physio in 2012, gaining knowledge and being mentored by some excellent Physiotherapists early in her career, she knew she had chosen the right path. 

Since joining the Kids Physio team in 2018, her passion for learning has only grown. She is so happy to be part of a team who share her enthusiasm for research, learning and personal development. Maria loves treating babies and young children with complex diagnoses and neurological conditions. She also loves helping children and teens who are having problems with maintaining continence, bladder or bowel leaks, bed wetting, constipation, leaks and/or frequency and urgency problems

As a Physiotherapist, Maria strongly believes in involving the whole family in therapy. She advocates for making Physio FUN at home. She knows a kid who enjoys the movement and exercises that are prescribed are going to achieve their goals so quickly! She makes a huge effort to make each game and exercise specific to the kid.
