She understands that navigating a complex condition can feel overwhelming, especially when looking for answers and support. That’s why she does not believe in black-and-white approaches to care. A patient’s recovery journey is as unique as they are and it deserves an individualized plan that truly fits their life.

Melissa’s approach is built on creative, collaborative care. She works directly with patients to understand their specific needs and challenges, crafting a rehabilitation plan that is flexible and designed to meet them exactly where they are. Her goal is to empower patients with the tools and strategies they need to reclaim their health and move forward with confidence.

Melissa grew up in Kitchener, Ontario. Her father was an Ironman triathlete who taught her about the importance and joy of movement. She credits this early exposure to triathlon with her pursuit of physiotherapy as a profession. Her Physiotherapy education took her to Perth, Australia where she learned invaluable skills at a top-tier clinical placement. Melissa enjoys cycling, yoga and hiking mountains with her husband and two young boys.

What Melissa's patients say...

My son, my husband and I are all patients of Melissa at Cornerstone’s downtown clinic and we all recommend her very, very highly. She is thorough and painstaking in her clinical approach, her manner is warm and friendly, and she explains follow-up exercises with real clarity. The clinic itself is absolutely immaculate, with impeccable Covid protocols in place, and we feel very safe during our visits.

What Melissa's patients say...

Melissa at Cornerstone is a miracle worker. She’s what I look for in a therapist — peppy and upbeat making appointments enjoyable, she absolutely knows her stuff, and expects a lot of herself and of her patients which made me work hard on my assigned exercises. Would highly recommend Melissa and Cornerstone if you’re in the downtown core and looking for a physiotherapist!

What Melissa's patients say...

Melissa is wonderful. She helped get me back on track after I suffered a very painful back issue. After a few sessions with Melissa my condition greatly improved. She even followed up to see how I was doing via email. I would highly recommend Cornerstone based on my experience.

What Melissa's patients say...

My experience with Cornerstone Physiotherapy was exceptional. Melissa not only diagnosed my condition but was extremely integral in my recovery. The exercises along with her positive encouragement were very helpful. I will highly recommend her to anyone suffering from vertigo type conditions

What Melissa's patients say...

I am completely satisfied with the treatment at Cornerstone. Melissa diagnosed the cause of my dizziness, gave me exercises, adapted them for me as needed, and is now almost completely resolved. She knows what she is doing, and was really committed to getting me back on track. Cornerstone’s COVID-19 protocols made me feel very comfortable going there. I will recommend to friends.
