An experienced occupational therapist with over 16 years of practice, passionate about helping people participate more fully in what matters most.

Elise is an experienced occupational therapist with over 16 years of practice across hospital and community settings, including time working in Canada out of a physiotherapy clinic in British Columbia. She is passionate about understanding what matters most to each person and working alongside them and their circles of care to help them participate more fully in daily life.

She has a particular interest in neuroplasticity and draws on sensory modulation, nature therapy, and creative arts in her practice. Alongside her occupational therapy degree, she holds a certificate in Dance Movement Therapy, which she weaves into her work in meaningful and often unexpected ways.
