Ann has been practising for 30 years as a chiropractor and has brought together a group of practitioners who are not only experts in their fields but who also collaborate with one another to offer the best possible care. This group has practised together for over twenty years. Their objective beyond diagnosis and treatment is to provide a warm, caring and nurturing environment.
Ann approaches the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions and injuries with gentle adjustments, mobilizations, soft tissue release techniques, and flexibility and strength training.
Her primary focus is to relieve pain and discomfort, and to restore function, mobility, strength and flexibility. Her goal is to help her patients to return to the activities of normal living, and to avoid strain and injury by providing advice on posture, gait, lifting, carrying, sleeping, sitting and repetitive activities, and by giving strength and flexibility exercises.
Ann taught for many years at the Canadian memorial chiropractic college and at Kikkawa college.
Ann is originally from Nova Scotia, where she is drawn back to every summer. She is an avid runner and gardener, an animal lover and community volunteer. She is married and has four daughters, a dog, and a cat.
