Stephanie grew up in Selkirk Manitoba, where she graduated from "The Comp" in 2011. Growing up, Stephanie competed in Gymnastics, and continued coaching. She also played a little bit of volleyball. A lower back injury ended her gymnastics too soon. This injury is what got her into the field of manual therapy. After many appointments with physiotherapy, chiropractic, it was a massage therapist that finally gave her some relief. She started at Wellington College of Remedial Massage Therapy in 2011 and graduated in 2013.
Stephanie enjoyed providing massage therapy to her clients, whether it be for pain relief, or relaxation, however she found that there were just some clients that she was unable to help, no matter what she tried. While still dealing with her own lower back pain, she stumbled across and Osteopathic Manual Therapist, who instantly treated her, and her back pain was gone. In 2015, she enrolled at the Canadian College of Osteopathy herself, and completed the 5-year program in 2020, and presented her research paper titled "An Inter-rater Reliability RCT on the Effects of Palpation Training Using a Lumbar Spine Model: A Study Design".
Stephanie works out of a physiotherapy clinic in Lac du Bonnet, MB as well as in Selkirk, MB. Stephanie lives in the country with her husband, and their dog, Grizzly. Together they love to spend time relaxing, working in the yard, and enjoying many outdoor activities.
