Émilie in a nutshell...

Emilie developed her love for the field of physical activity through playing hockey and soccer, with a few years of basketball and volleyball experience as well. As such, she intended to complete a master's in physiotherapy and so began her degree in Human Kinetics at the University of Ottawa. However, during her third year of undergraduate studies, she worked with the University of Ottawa Men's Hockey Team under the supervision of an Athletic Therapist.  It was during this time that she fell in love with Athletic Therapy and made the decision to pursue a second Bachelor's degree in Athletic Therapy at Concordia University. She appreciates the opportunity to follow an injured individual throughout their journey, from the field to clinical rehabilitation, enabling her to offer holistic rehabilitation.

Plan for the upcoming years

Emilie loves to travel, and following her travels in Europe and Guatemala, she aspires to work with a sports team that takes her all around the world.  She would like to develop her skills in concussion treatment. Her dream is to be an athletic therapist at the Paralympic Games.

I draw inspiration from my personal experiences with sports injuries to motivate the rehabilitation of my patients. For example, i suffer from lingering effects of multiple concussions and i want to ensure that others do not have to go through similar experiences. I place great importance on rehabilitation that goes through every aspect of physical health, including mobility, myofascial release, strengthening, mental well-being, and much more.
