Aspire started long before my move from Canada.
My path into working with kids started early through coaching youth hockey, where I discovered how much I valued helping kids build confidence.
During my Bachelor of Kinesiology degree, I worked with children in a variety of roles, including behavior intervention, adaptive sports, and youth programs. That experience led me to pursue my Master of Physical Therapy at the University of British Columbia. I started my career in pediatrics and never looked back.
Over the past five years, I’ve worked with infants, children, and teens across a wide range of needs – including gross motor delays, torticollis and plagiocephaly, coordination challenges, neurological and orthopedic conditions, and sports-related injuries. I value the variety pediatrics has to offer – it keeps me on my toes.
My approach blends play with structure. Sessions are engaging, goal-oriented, and designed to build functional skills that align with each child and family’s goals. Families leave with a clear plan, kids leave feeling capable, and one of the best compliments I hear is that they actually look forward to coming to PT.
My wife and I moved from Vancouver, drawn by LA’s energy, opportunity, and culture of people willing to pursue meaningful challenges. Aspire isn’t just the name of the clinic – it’s a mindset that supports children in trying new things, building resilience, and developing confidence in what their bodies can do.
Aspire Kids Physical Therapy is my next chapter – creating a space to help kids move with confidence here in Los Angeles.
