Tell us about yourself
I have been a physiotherapist for close to 15 years in a rural hospital in an outpatient setting. Each and every day, I get to work with patients and see their recovery journey. I wanted to bring that to the St Boniface community in Winnipeg. Honestly, I love my job so much that I would even do it for free if I could. The sheer joy that comes from seeing patients going from being in chronic pain to little to no pain warms my heart. I just wish I could help everyone!
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Honestly, I would say just opening my doors. It has been a lot of hard work getting to this point, but it was worth it.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
It has been all of the red tapes in getting here. I had no idea how many bumps in the road there would be, but I have triumphed and will be open soon.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Do your research.
- Know your clientele/community.
- Be passionate about your career choice, as you will spend hours upon hours in it.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
As a medical professional, I understand that practices are ever-changing. As a result, I spend countless hours researching the latest treatments and conditions in medical journals and elsewhere. I was the first in the hospital to get certified in acupuncture and have since been able to help countless patients see relief from their pain using this practice. This is just one of the many areas of expertise I have honed in over my career. Physiotherapy is a passion of mine. As a result, learning more about the profession is fun and doesn’t even seem like work.
