After working in Kamloops, Papua New Guinea and Comox, Joanne and her family arrived in the Creston Valley in 1999. Postgraduate training began with neurology and paediatrics, followed by community based rehabilitation. The next decade was devoted to manual therapy. In 2008, Joanne began focusing on pelvic and women’s health physiotherapy education and certification. Pelvic yoga therapy and yoga teacher training sparked a lifelong love of movement studies.
