About Us

Trish Brunelle has been a Registered Physiotherapist for 29 years. She started her career in Mental Health Services and this experience taught her the valuable skills she has needed to work with a variety of people. After moving to the small clinic setting, Trish has sought out new knowledge at every turn and this has led her to study a variety of areas including Women’s Health, Pelvic Health, Visceral Manipulation, Craniosacral Therapy, Acupuncture and Orthopaedics. With a particular passion for Pelvic Health, Trish has travelled to California, Vancouver, Reno and extensively throughout Canada, to learn techniques that will further her patients’ health goals. She is trained in Hypopressives (also known as Low Pressure Fitness) and Pfilates, both of which are innovative pelvic floor techniques. While receiving treatment for pelvic health issues, you can be certain that education will play a strong role in your care. Trish has been a runner and has done many distances including 4 marathons. She has recently found a passion for her stand up paddle board and is looking forward to snowshoe season.

Kaley started her career as a Registered Physiotherapist in 2013, prior to which she completed a Bachelor of Health Sciences and a Master of Medical Science at McMaster University. As a physiotherapist, Kaley strives to put the power in her clients’ hands, providing them with the knowledge, tools, and resources needed to achieve their health-related goals. A nerd at heart (according to her husband), Kaley never passes up the opportunity to learn: orthopaedics, sport medicine, women’s health, pelvic floor physiotherapy, and persistent pain are some of her favourite key areas of interest.

When not at the clinic, Kaley tries to create as much balance in her life as possible. Growing up in Northern Ontario, she developed a great love for outdoor adventure, small-town living, and of course, hockey. After years of playing competitive ice hockey and ball hockey, she now enjoys training for triathlons, practicing yoga, and exploring the great Canadian outdoors with her hubby and their energetic springer spaniel, Lucy.

Laura graduated from McMaster University in 2011 with an honours degree in Kinesiology, and from Queen’s University in 2004 in Physiotherapy. After living, working, and travelling in Europe for a few years, she returned home to develop her career and put down some roots; what a journey it has been so far! Laura has worked primarily in a small orthopaedic clinic setting over the last 14 years, with a focus on manual therapy, education, and exercise. She has been privileged to work with clients of all ages and abilities; collaborating with many members of the health care community in the process. She has continued her education along the way, participating in many post-graduate courses. She feels that most important part of what she does is to pass on this education to her clients, so that they can be empowered to find and use the tools they already possess to be an active participant in the healing process. She has a strong belief in physical activity and preventative medicine, and tries to help clients improve their overall health, while working to manage the specific issues presented at the time of their visits. Laura developed an interest in pelvic health physiotherapy through conversations with her midwives during pregnancy, and has made this area her top focus for learning and development since 2016. She is amazed at the impact of pelvic health care on the lives of her clients and their families, and is striving to fill her toolbox to help people optimize their overall health!

Whilst not in the clinic, Laura spends as much time outside and active as possible with her service dog in-training, Henry, who has quickly become the clinic’s mascot.
