Melanie grew up in Lasalle, Manitoba. As a former dance teacher, her love for working with children and helping them reach their goals began long before her physiotherapy career. She attended the University of Manitoba, and received her Masters degree in Physical Therapy in 2019. Melanie’s love for movement and working with children is what led her to immediately pursue a career in paediatric physiotherapy after graduating. Melanie has had the pleasure of working with the pediatric population in both the public and private sectors throughout various communities in Manitoba.
As a co-owner of Kids Physio Group - Winnipeg and a mom of two, Melanie strives to create a clinic environment for families that is welcoming, compassionate, warm, and fun! She enjoys the challenge of finding fun and creative ways to reach goals with babies, kids, and teens. Melanie has a special interest in infant physiotherapy. She enjoys supporting children with a wide range of conditions including developmental disorders, plagiocephaly and torticollis, neurological conditions, toe walking, gross motor delays, coordination concerns, bowel and bladder disorders and more! Outside of work, Melanie loves spending time with her husband and two children, being outdoors, finding joy in movement, gardening, traveling, and reading.
