Juliet is a graduate of the University of British Columbia, with a Bachelor of Human Kinetics in 2008 and a Masters of Physiotherapy in 2010. Born and raised on Vancouver Island, she spent over 15 years in Vancouver and abroad before deciding to return to her roots, and could not be more excited to be offering neurological care to the Island community.

She has worked in acute care on both the neuro and spine units at Vancouver General Hospital, spent many years on the rehab units at GF Strong, worked in Australia and taught in India, and has worked at several private neuro-focused clinics before opening Solid Ground.

Her post-grad training includes Bobath and NDT courses, concussion management, motivational interviewing, chronic pain, and advanced vestibular rehabilitation. She is also certified to practice acupuncture and finds this to be a helpful adjunct to healing from neurological injury, along with hands-on therapy, education, and a whole lot of movement!

Juliet is a strong believer in treating the ‘whole person’ and has a special interest in helping to address the anxiety, depression and trauma that often accompany a neurological event.

Other areas of interest for Juliet include stroke, chronic concussion and TBI, spinal cord injury, MS, Parkinson’s Disease, cerebral palsy, headache/migraine management, and treating clients with dizziness and vertigo.

Outside of the clinic, Juliet can be found exploring the mountains on her feet, bike, or skis, climbing at the gym, paddleboarding, and looking for any type 2 fun she can find!

Keri’s own experience with injury and rehabilitation inspired her to become a Physiotherapist. Keri graduated with a Masters in Physical Therapy from the University of British Columbia and a bachelor’s degree of Science in Kinesiology from the University of Victoria.

A long-standing knee injury from soccer and a more recent spine fracture sustained while

mountain biking sparked Keri’s interest in persistent pain. She has spent the past 7 years working with and learning from her patients at the CHANGEpain Clinic, St. Paul’s Hospital Complex Pain Clinic and St. Paul’s Elder Care Clinic. Since moving to the Comox Valley last year, Keri has been working at the Comox Valley Hospital.

Keri uses a “whole person” approach to her physiotherapy practice and feels it crucial to address the many factors that can affect recovery and the pain experience including but not limited to activity, sleep, relationships, nutrition, stress management, and well-being. She combines a variety of different strategies including: education, hands on therapy, IMS, movement, self-management and facilitating behavior change to empower patients to take charge of their recovery and feel safe in their bodies. Keri enjoys working with a wide range of populations with varying diagnoses. Her special interests include persistent pain, complex regional pain syndrome, fibromyalgia, central sensitization, vestibular and balance impairments.

Growing up, Keri spent a lot of her time training for and competing in diving and soccer. Her love for these sports continue, although you will also find her practicing yoga, hiking, biking, surfing, snowshoeing and generally getting out to enjoy nature.
