Prior to this, xe graduated with a Bachelor of Science with Honours in Biology from Acadia University in 2018. Amy’s interest in pelvic floor physiotherapy was sparked during her time at the Halifax Sexual Health Centre, where she recognized a pressing need for expanded pelvic health practices. Amy’s approach to physiotherapy emphasizes comprehensive assessments that consider the many determinants of health influencing a client’s condition delivered through a trauma-informed lens.

As a genderqueer physiotherapist, Amy has been an advocate for expanding gender-affirming services within healthcare. Xe has had the opportunity to present on gender-affirming care in physiotherapy at the 2024 Canadian Physiotherapy Association Congress and the Gender Affirming Care Providers of Nova Scotia, in addition to many others. As a member of the Queer Physiotherapy Collective (QPC), xe is committed to fostering inclusive care environments and hopes to enhance access to pelvic floor and orthopedic physiotherapy for all individuals. In her current practice, xe has a special interest in providing pre- and post-operative care for patients accessing gender-affirming surgeries, in addition to creating more welcoming movement spaces for members of the 2S/LGBTQIA+ community
