Josephine is a Pilates instructor and Physiotherapist Assistant with over 12 years of teaching experience. Josephine has studied both Classical and Contemporary Pilates, Essentrics, Holistic Nutrition and Somatic Therapies, and continues to add therapeutic courses to her repertoire to expand her knowledge and tools. Collaborating with Physiotherapists throughout her career has enabled her to put her training and skills in movement therapy into practice, and her clients have enjoyed excellent results from her unique rehabilitative approach.

After an injury made even day-to-day movement difficult, she searched for a way to regain her strength and mobility – what she discovered was that thoughtful movement and targeted strengthening through a Pilates approach helped her immensely to get out of pain and reach her strength and mobility goals. This first-hand experience of the transformative power of movement ignited a passion to learn about movement as medicine. Josephine sees Pilates as a way of helping individuals find ease of movement in their bodies, greatly improve balance and stability, and understands the incredible value it can have in a clinical setting.

Josephine’s initial introduction to Toronto Physiotherapy was as a patient first. After experiencing the level of expertise and professionalism this clinic provided, the evolution to joining as a team member was natural. She continues to seek more knowledge, constantly studying and evolving to provide her clients with meaningful rehabilitation strategies to help them feel and move better. Josephine loves her work, and it shows!
