Nora is an experienced therapist that understands that knowledge is the path to reducing fear and uncertainty for her patients. She draws on a wealth of professional and personal experience to ensure her patients have a complete understanding of the path to recovery. Nora has also given back to her profession extensively as a district President of the Ontario Physiotherapy Association.

Born and raised in Scarborough Ontario, Nora was immersed in a part of Ontario that had people from all over the world. She loved experiencing her friends and neighbours diverse food, music and customs. Nora brings a personal perspective to the rehabilitation process. Ask her about her ATV accident that resulted in many surgeries and over a year of rehab. She knows what it takes to get back on her feet! She is into Ballet, Jazz and Pilates, and she is a BIG Formula 1 fan! At home she loves spending time with her family at the cottage or she may be found doing a little happy dance while cooking up something delicious!
