    As a physiotherapist, her goals are to empower clients to take their health and fitness into their own hands by giving them the necessary knowledge, tools, and resources. She has worked with the Canadian Armed Forces since 2014, which has allowed her to build a practice that is strong in manual therapy, exercise prescription, and acupuncture. She is very excited to be bringing this experience and knowledge back into the private practice world.

    Rachel has pursued additional manual therapy and manipulation training since graduating MSc.PT, and in 2020 successfully completed her Intermediate Practical Exam through the Orthopaedic Division of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association.

Though she treats all musculoskeletal conditions, her special interests include treating shoulder dysfunctions, ankle dysfunctions, and foot dysfunctions, including orthotic assessment and prescription.

    When she isn’t in the clinic, you can find her in one of two places. She might be in the gym, as she is an avid Crossfit enthusiast, but more than likely you will find her somewhere with her horse. Rachel has been an equestrian for as long as she has been on this earth, and lives for training and traveling with her equine friends.

Susan Paterson. R.Acu

Registered Acupuncturist.

R.Ac. Hons (BA), LLB, Acc FM.

  • Sue’s mission is to help to restore you or prevent you from being hijacked by poor health – there can be simple answers if we catch you before you get burnt out or live with chronic stress and illness. In 500+ hours of yoga teacher training, and over 2200 hours of acupuncture from the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) perspective.

    Sue became amazed at the stunning complexity of our body, brain, and nervous system, and yet the profound influence of the simplest, cheapest inputs – breath, movement, rubber balls, and tiny little needles – to calm and feel things in our bodies. Whether your pain comes from a new injury or a long-standing chronic condition, let’s get started with a conversation or read a blog or two first…

    Sue is excited to have found what she believes is the ‘missing link’ – acupuncture, breath, and simple movements can link the body and mind to create calm, and even slow down time – in times of high emotional stress and overwhelm – like divorce, job stress, and emotional losses.
