Abigail holds a Bachelor of Science in Human Kinetics and is currently in the process of obtaining her licensure as a Registered Kinesiologist (BCAK). Originally from a small town in Saskatchewan, she relocated to Golden, BC to pursue post-secondary education before moving to Kelowna in 2021. Abigail brings a diverse background in outdoor recreation, sport, and movement-based work, which informs her practical, client-centred approach to care.

Abigail is passionate about supporting individuals at all stages of their movement and rehabilitation journey. She believes that any movement is better than no movement and focuses on meeting clients where they are at, creating realistic, individualized programs that build confidence, strength, and long-term sustainability. Her clinical interests include injury rehabilitation, return-to-sport and activity, strength training, and functional movement.

Using evidence-informed exercise prescription, movement education, and supportive modalities, Abigail works collaboratively with clients to improve function and support everyday activities. In addition to movement-based rehabilitation and training, she provides orthopaedic bracing, athletic taping, and compression sock fittings as adjuncts to care, helping clients feel supported, comfortable, and confident in their daily movement, work, and recreational pursuits.

Outside of clinical practice, Abigail volunteers as part of the medical team for the Okanagan Sun Football Club and enjoys staying active through mountain biking, cross-country skiing, and backpacking—experiences that continue to shape her appreciation for movement as a key component of overall health and well-being.
