My Story
A Personal Journey of Understanding Pain
My journey into helping others with chronic pain began long before I became a chiropractor. As I was growing up, I watched a loved one go from daily gym-goer to becoming disabled by the progression of their chronic pain. I felt helpless as they endured surgeries, injections, and a variety of therapies, caught in a frustrating cycle that never seemed to lead to meaningful progress. These experiences shaped my understanding of the profound impact chronic pain can have on both individuals and their families.
Discovering My Passion
​As a kid, I was active and loved sports and movement, which inspired me to pursue a career focused on helping people stay healthy and active. While I initially envisioned working with athletes, my interests began to shift during chiropractic school as I developed a deep passion for chronic pain management. I sought out knowledge beyond the classroom and connected with incredible mentors who helped me grow in this area. In my final two years, I frequently shadowed at an interdisciplinary chronic pain center in Toronto, which deepened my understanding of pain care and confirmed that this was the work I was meant to do.
Filling the Gaps in Pain Care
As I accumulated experiences and exposure, I saw firsthand the large gaps in how pain care is delivered within the healthcare system. The complexity of individuals—their circumstances, values, and unique experiences—was rarely fully considered in treatment plans. This realization motivated me to create a better solution for those living with persistent pain.
