I am beyond thrilled to be offering care in a thriving community in Ottawa. Although I do not live in the Glebe neighbourhood anymore, I’ve spent countless days and hours walking this section of Bank st. I was born and raised in Ottawa, and moved back here in 2019 with my husband to raise my young family (I have two daughters). I do not believe in quick fixes and I will work hard to get to the root of your pain or injury. I use a wide array of treatment modalities from acupuncture and adjustments to proper breathing techniques. I am passionate about movement, bodies and hearing everyone’s story, which means that I am in the perfect career!

Hi! My name is Émilie, and I’m a physiotherapist with a keen interest in pelvic health and orthopedic physiotherapy.

I firmly believe everyone deserves a personalized approach to rehab, whatever their goals. I prioritize creating a safe place and using an evidence-based dynamic treatment plan that places the patient at the center of their care.

As an injured teen, I used to go to my physiotherapist, and she would walk around with a plastic knee model to show me my anatomy. That’s when I decided that one day I wanted to be the one with the cool models teaching people about their bodies.

I’m passionate about demystifying pelvic health in women and men. And I assure you that coming in for a conversation is not as intimidating as it may seem.

I am so grateful to be able to expand my psychotherapy practice at Refine. I am a Registered Social Worker Psychotherapist with the College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers. Since graduating from Carleton University with a Bachelors of Social Work, I have been working with the Western Quebec School Board, focusing specifically on youth who experience challenging mental health issues, complex trauma and family dynamics as well as cultural and societal struggles.

My counselling and psychotherapy offerings focus on helping adolescents and young adults in developing a deeper connection to self. I believe our current struggles and challenges are the body’s and brain’s way of telling us something needs to be tended to. Unresolved issues from the past can hold us back from experiencing all life has to offer. Through a trauma informed, culturally sensitive lens I help individuals move through and better understand their life experiences. Cognitive behavioral therapy, solution and strength based approaches, and humanistic therapy are just some of the psychotherapy tools I use with clients.

If you are struggling with your mental health, life transitions, challenging past experiences or just need support in your journey; I am here to help. Self-development has changed my life and I am extremely passionate about guiding individuals through the process of finding themselves.

I love what I do, and I’m passionate about movement and health. But above all, I really enjoy meeting new people and learning their stories. Everyone who comes to Refine has a different goal.

Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)

Through my personal healing journey and time spent as an RMT (since 2012) working with my clients I became curious about a career as a Psychotherapist. In May 2023, I graduated from Yorkville University with a Masters in Counselling. I am now a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO).

I recognise that beginning therapy is a big decision and I believe it is a courageous step. Your mental wellness and your connection to self is essential and deserves time and space. The healing process is unique to each individual and as your therapist, I intend to meet you where you are, to learn about your needs and goals, and how I can best support you. It is my objective to provide a safe therapeutic space grounded in non-judgement and curiosity to support your capacity to authentically explore and process your experiences. It is my hope to support you to develop healthy ways to manage distress, to get unstuck, to develop new perspectives on unresolved issues, and to improve overall wellbeing.

Registered Massage Therapy (RMT)

As an RMT, my desire and hope are to provide a safe and supportive environment that invites clients to connect with their bodies and to learn how they can best support themselves as they move through their life. I offer a compassionate, intuitive, and professional commitment as I work with each client towards their optimal health and well-being. I encourage active participation in the healing process and will provide self-care tools and strategies.

I am passionate about women’s health. I have training and an extensive background massaging women through all stages of pregnancy (pre- and post-natal care) and have worked as a doula. I have therapeutic skills in trigger point therapy, deep tissue, and scar-tissue massage. I have experience working with all ages and needs

Hi! I’m Emma (she/her). I am so glad you are here. I feel privileged to be a part of the team at Refine and believe wholeheartedly in a multidisciplinary approach to health and wellness.

I am a registered social worker providing counselling and psychotherapy services with twenty years of experience supporting adults, children and families. I offer an inclusive, affirming, collaborative, compassionate and strength-based space for people of all identities and experiences.

My specializations include trauma therapy and perinatal mental health (fertility, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, adoption, parenting, grief and loss).

The main therapeutic modalities that I draw upon are narrative therapy and mindfulness.

I am a settler on the traditional territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabeg. My practice is grounded in an anti-oppressive framework that is informed by anti-racism, decolonization theory, feminism, queer theory and disability justice.

I am constantly learning (and unlearning), committed to ongoing personal and professional growth, and participate in my own therapy, professional development and clinical supervision.

Your baby is welcome during both in person and virtual appointments, where you will be supported to care, feed and comfort them in the way that works best for you.
