Hi!
First things first, my name is pronounced “Keeva”. My family is from Northern Ireland and my name is Gaelic. This is always the first question I receive when I meet someone new so I thought we would get that out of the way first.
From a young age I knew I wanted to be a Physiotherapist because I was enamoured by the way these professionals knew how to fix me when I was injured from playing sports. I spent my childhood competing at an elite level both in soccer and figure skating. It wasn’t until my nineteenth year that I gave up the dream to be in the Olympics to pursue a university education.
I studied Biology in New Hampshire while on a soccer scholarship and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Biology Magna Cum Laude. From there I went on to Daemen College in Amherst, NY to study Physiotherapy. I graduated in 2010 with a Doctorate of Physical Therapy.
Since then, I have been assisting people in their journeys to recovery and honing my skill set along the way. From relieving someone of their pain, to facilitating their return to sport/exercise, to reaching a goal they never thought possible, is by far the most rewarding aspect of my job,
I would say I have a special interest in shoulder injuries and cervical spine injuries, however I treat everything.
I share my life with my partner and our 4 beautiful girls. We spend a lot of our time with our extended family and dancing in the kitchen!
I’m a Physiotherapist Assistant with nearly a decade of hands-on experience working in diverse clinical settings and supporting a wide range of patients. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to assist in the recovery and rehabilitation of individuals dealing with everything from sports injuries and post-operative care to chronic pain and mobility challenges.
I’m trained in multiple therapeutic modalities, including most recently cupping and gua sha. I take a patient-centered approach to every session, focusing on functional outcomes, clear communication, and building trust.
Outside the clinic, I have a lifelong passion for gymnastics and circus arts, which has given me unique insight into movement, body mechanics, and injury prevention—especially as it relates to athletes and active individuals.
I bring energy, compassion, and a commitment to helping people move and feel better every day.
I look forward to assisting you in meeting your rehabilitation goals.
