Larissa studied at the University of British Columbia for both her
Bachelors degree in Science (2007) and Masters degree in
Physical Therapy (2009).
Larissa was exposed to Physiotherapy at a young age and was immediately intrigued by the profession. Through her own injuries, she has developed a deep sense of empathy, compassion, and
comprehensive knowledge base that comes from being both a
patient and a therapist. She continues to prioritize life-long
learning and is continuing to expand her knowledge in visceral
and craniosacral techniques, neuro-movement retraining, and the
Autonomic Nervous System.
Larissa is passionate about moving our profession forward and
creating advanced courses. Larissa is a lead instructor trainer
with Calibrate Clinical Pilates Education. As well, she is working
with West Coast Injection Training to develop an ultrasound-
guided dry needling course for Physiotherapists. Larissa truly
loves to embark on any opportunity to collaborate with and learn
from others.
Larissa is devoted to creating a safe healing space for your mind
and body. She uses her skills to assess and treat the whole
person and is very keen on making sure that the patient understands and is part of the treatment process the entire way through. She uses her strong intuition and vast experience to help her patients optimize their functional health. Larissa’s recipe for
healing includes a dash of manual therapy and fascial release, a
teaspoon or so of IMS/Acupuncture, a heavy pour of movement therapy and habit retraining, and a large drizzle of education and body awareness over top.
Larissa and her husband moved to South Surrey recently in order
to be closer to their wonderful family. She also has a young
daughter and enjoys exploring the world through her eyes – and
keeping up with her! For her own health and wellness, Larissa
loves to get outdoors, do kettlebell and weight lifting, Pilates, and
spend time with family and friends.
