I always knew that I wanted to pursue a career that would help others, but it wasn’t until I began my journey into chiropractic medicine that I understood what that pursuit would look like for me. After earning my Bachelor of Science, I went on to receive my Doctor of Chiropractic which then lead to an expansive internship at NY Chiropractic College. These experiences allowed me to uncover the ‘why’ behind my passions - helping families navigate beautiful changes in their lives. Practicing chiropractic has been such a rewarding feeling that sometimes words fail to describe.
I am so fulfilled not only by helping women and their babies thrive, but also through educating them on their bodies and how they can grow stronger connections to them. I also find it imperative that women have a reliable, safe option that they can depend on to receive the gentle and informed treatments that they deserve. I am so grateful for the opportunity to make positive contributions to people’s lives that will hopefully leave lasting impressions on their total health and well-being.
I work at both the Central and Hyde Park locations. I am accepting new patients at this time and look forward to meeting you!

Meet Dr. Andy
My purpose on this earth is to: 1. be a mother, and 2. be a healer. As it turns out, I found my passion by combining the two. Born and raised in London, I completed my undergraduate in biology and Latin at Western University. I then moved to Toronto to complete my doctorate in chiropractic medicine at Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College. Now back in London, I currently live with my husband, son, and two puppers!
I became a chiropractic doctor in order to support the body’s natural healing abilities with a drug-free, and holistic approach. I have extensive training in external pelvic floor therapy and abdominal rehabilitation. Furthermore, I am Webster certified, and trained in visceral manipulation, cranio-sacral therapy, Thompson technique, diversified, and Activator. I have also taken sooo many courses around tongue and lip tie bodywork, which makes up about 60% of my practice.
My passion for women’s health and birth work was sparked years ago when I was present for the amazing birth of my niece. After that, I trained as a Birth Doula and I have been supporting families throughout their pregnancy and birth ever since! My goal is to help close the gap on the motherhood standard of healthcare, and empower women to find the support they deserve. Mothers are the ultimate caretakers, and I’m here to take care of you!

From 2007-2021 I worked as an RN (BScN) mainly in a Neonatal Instensive Care Unit, also with experience in Labour & Delivery, and Postpartum care. In 2011, I became an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) and continued my association with the board until 2021. I have firsthand knowledge of routine hospital practices and how to overcome the barriers to breastfeeding that are often involved. I have also supported many families who chose home births.
I am passionate about empowering families with knowledge, support and practical suggestions to overcome their barriers for the most positive client experience. I provide realistic support and am understanding that every family needs an individual plan. At times I will encourage families to access other community resources to assist with their breastfeeding goals, recognizing that a holistic approach is important.
I am experienced in providing breastfeeding support from birth to the older infant, with expertise in early and late preterm infants.
After having my own child, I recognized the truth more than ever to the phrase, “it takes a village to raise a child.” Unfortunately, our culture doesn’t seem to support parents through this passage, and I at times felt like asking, “where is my village?”
I understand the need more than ever for breastfeeding support as it can feel like the foundation of raising strong, healthy families. I hope to help you on your journey to making breastfeeding a positive experience and to enjoying your baby.

As a mom of three kids ages 4 and under, I understand the challenges of caring for our own bodies while supporting the development of our little ones. This is why I am passionate about both pelvic health and pediatric physiotherapy. I would be honoured to support you through some of the physical changes that come with pregnancy, delivery, and the post-partum period. Together we will find how physiotherapy can fit into your life so you can minimize discomfort during pregnancy, prep for delivery, and maintain or return to the activities you love to do – and even become stronger than before pregnancy (no matter how long ago you were pregnant!).
Once your little one arrives, they may need some extra support meeting motor milestones and addressing other physical concerns such as torticollis, brachial plexus injuries, and plagiocephaly. I love working with families to support their children in a fun, playful and engaging manner. I am also able to address pelvic health concerns in children including incontinence, bedwetting, and constipation.
I completed my Physiotherapy training at Western University with additional training in Pelvic Health and Pediatric Physiotherapy. I have also completed a Master’s degree in Neuroscience and a PhD in Physical Therapy at Western University which help me understand the important role the nervous system plays in both pelvic health and child motor development.

My journey into birth work was a transformative experience; after combating postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety with my firstborn, I began spending all of my waking moments trying to learn about motherhood, it’s diverse range of experiences, and it’s learning curves. I became fascinated by the profound transition into motherhood and amazed by the lack of support and awareness mothers receive when it comes to their brand-new journey. Before I became a mother, I completed an Honours degree in childhood and social institutions, with a certificate in advocacy and minor in psychology. I have worked in children’s care sectors for over ten years and am a registered early childhood educator. My passion for education and supporting the family in a holistic manner is part of what drove me to become a full spectrum doula and perinatal educator after my second child was born in 2020. I am well-versed in topics from pregnancy up until late childhood! It is with this combination of knowledge and passion that I strive to offer fresh and new ways to support mothers and families in their journey, meeting them right where they are.
My perinatal training includes:
- Full Spectrum Doula
- Childbirth and Perinatal Educator
- Empowered Birth Training
- Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders: Components of Care Certificate

I recently earned my Master’s in Physical Therapy from Western University, and I am thrilled to become a member of the Rebirth wellness team. During my academic journey, I developed a strong passion for women’s health and pelvic floor physiotherapy. I have since pursued additional training in this specialized field and am eager to share my expertise with my clients.
My primary objective is to establish a safe environment where my patients can explore and gain a comprehensive understanding of their pelvic health and its profound impact on their overall well-being. I steadfastly believe that as women, we should not merely accept pelvic floor dysfunction symptoms as an inevitable part of life. Instead, my unwavering commitment is to collaborate closely with you to create a tailored treatment plan that seamlessly integrates into your daily life.

Parenthood is vulnerable and raw, yet we are asked to present perfection to the outside world. In moments, you may feel the happiest you’ve ever felt, yet perhaps also the most lonely and lost. You want the best for your child, sometimes to your own detriment. You deserve the same tending to and care that you give to your child and I hope through our time together, you can get in touch with a new sense of self-compassion, acceptance and connection to meaningful motherhood.
I am a Registered Social Worker and Canadian Certified Perinatal Mental Health Practictioner (CC-PMH). Drawing from Acceptance and Commitment therapy, self-compassion and mindfulness, my approach to counselling is, at its core, relational. I aim to create a warm, non-judgmental environment where you can feel seen, heard, and understood. I deeply appreciate that every parent’s journey is unique with their own strengths and values. As a mom to a strong and sensitive toddler, I have experienced first hand the impact of new motherhood, learning to trust my parental instincts, and doing my best to balance caring for her and caring for myself - all in the midst of sleep deprivation!
Parenting feels hard because we are not meant to do it alone. I look forward to being part of your village and community as you dedicate this time to yourself. Whatever you are experiencing from pre-conception, through pregnancy and postpartum, I hope I can support you in connecting to the parts of you that bring joy and fulfillment.

For the past 12 years I have provided counselling, treatment, and support to some of the strongest and most resilient people I have ever met. I’m still in awe of the vulnerability that people often bring to a counselling session. I truly admire the courage it takes to reach out and speak your truth. My passion is supporting women and mothers with their mental health and wellness.
I recognize the impact mental health can have in our lives; including the ability to mother, and to mother in a way that feeds our soul. I have personally experienced the heartache and strain that mental health can have on our ability to cope, function, and thrive in life. As a mother, I have learnt that if we prioritize our own mental health and wellness, it can positively impact our parenting and overall sense of self. They say it take’s a village to raise a child, but I believe it takes just as much love, compassion, patience, and encouragement to raise a mother. We all have our own limitations and personal struggles. I believe that this is where a supportive community can be born and this new identity as a mother can flourish. I look forward to seeing this unfold in the Mothering Your Mind group and in our 1-1 sessions.
For the past decade I have supported women and their children to manage and overcome depressive symptoms, anxiety, addiction, eating disorders, and a variety of other life challenges. I have a Bachelor of Social Work (Honours), a Trauma Treatment Certificate, and I’m a Registered Social Worker. I come to the table with a kind heart, a very compassionate and focused mind, but I also bring a sense of honesty and trust into everything I do. My counselling style incorporates Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Solution Focused treatments. I have offered 1-1 counselling sessions over the years, as well as facilitated over ten different types of treatment groups to men, women, and their families. I believe in the power of mindfulness, grounding, and yoga, as tools for good mental health and wellness. I’m currently studying to become a certified yoga instructor. However, what I am most proud of above all else, are the three little ones who call me Mom. This journey has not been an easy one, but they say the most meaningful things in life are not. I am beaming with a rich light of energy, excitement, and love, with simply knowing that I will have the privilege to walk alongside you on your journey as a Mom.

Since becoming a Registered Nurse (RN) in 2012, I have been passionate about working with families in the perinatal period! Having a baby is one of the most fulfilling and rewarding times in a person’s life, but it can also be one of the most overwhelming, especially when faced with infant feeding challenges. My own journey as an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) began after the birth of my first child, Hudson, who was born with a significant tongue-tie. Hudson and I faced many breastfeeding challenges but I was lucky to have received the support of a couple amazingly talented IBCLCs. After overcoming these challenges, I felt called to shift the focus of my career to work with families experiencing difficulties with breast/chest-feeding. I have since helped hundreds of parents and babies to navigate all sorts of infant feeding challenges and have also gone on to breastfeed two more children of my own!
Having worked through the experience of tethered oral tissues (TOTs), aka tongue and lip ties, with two of my three kids, I have taken a special interest in TOTs as an IBCLC. I have attended specialized trainings related to working with infants with TOTs and have gained some very valuable expertise in working with these babies. Whether your baby may have TOTs or not, as an IBCLC, I will use my skills, knowledge, and experience to help you and your baby to overcome whatever feeding struggles you may be facing.

Parenting can be magical, beautiful and life changing. Sometimes though, it can also be nothing like how we imagined it would be. After over a decade of experience working with parents and children in the London community, as well as working internationally, I have developed a passion for supporting individuals and families in managing difficult times in their lives in order to find balance. Whether it be through infertility, the worries of pregnancy, the adjustment of new-parenthood or experiencing a child with higher needs/ neurodiversities, you deserve to have someone on your side to navigate these uncertainties.
I know the ups and downs that come with parenting. Dealing with the daily attempts to manage everything can be overwhelming. As a mother of four amazing and uniquely individual children myself, I have lived experience with this venture. I also know the benefits of building an amazing support system and resources from which to utilize during difficult times.
Outside of my work as a social worker, you may also see me around Rebirth as one of the yoga instructors. If you have ever attended any of my classes, you will know that I truly believe one of the greatest benefits of yoga has to do with its effect on our minds- by being able to become present, slow down, and turn inwards. This is why, along with various therapeutic techniques, I find benefit from incorporating somatic tools into our sessions in order to gain access to the nervous system and discover peace within our bodies and our minds.
You are not alone in this journey. Together, we can explore difficult emotions, and develop tools which you can draw upon to thrive during this challenging season in your life.
