Help Laura Rebuild After Sudden Loss and Health Setbacks

Important update regarding Laura’s health and its impact on scheduled appointments

Recently, I have been undergoing medical evaluation, and upon consultation with my doctor, it has been strongly advised that I prioritize rest and recovery to ensure the best outcome for my health. In light of this advice, I will be taking a temporary hiatus from work effective immediately until the end of April. During this time, my focus will be on recuperating and receiving the necessary treatment.

I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. Please rest assured that someone will be in touch with you ASAP to reschedule any appointments that have been affected by this change/you may have already received an email from the Jane app with instructions on what to do. Your pelvic floor health is important, and I understand that waiting for my return might not be ideal for you. Therefore, I have made arrangements for another skilled pelvic floor physiotherapist to take on clients during my absence. More information will be provided when you are contacted regarding the rescheduling of your appointments.

Your understanding and support during this time mean a great deal to me. I am committed to maintaining the quality of service you expect, and I look forward to returning to work with renewed energy and focus.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

My Commitment

I actively work to create a safe and welcoming environment for all community members.

I’m passionate about supporting and serving marginalized folks,
such as the 2SLGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent communities,
as well as those engaging in non-traditional relationship models.

My goal is for each human to feel safe and comfortable to be themselves,
however that may look for them, and to feel supported in
receiving the care that they need for pelvic floor and core health.

What My Clients Have to Say

  • "Best healthcare experience if my life! Since mesh removal 6 months ago, I had to go through 5 physiotherapists to find Laura. Her knowledge and compassion are sorely needed. I wish there were more ready to go the extra mile to help mesh injured patients."

    Laura Phelps

    ☆☆☆☆☆

  • "... Working with Laura to heal my pelvic floor was more than just physiotherapy to me.  It allowed me to feel confident and connected with my body again, and after only a few short weeks I was feeling like my old self again.   Thank you so much Laura. "

    M.M.

  • "Her reputation is colossal and she exceeded my expectations. Laura is professional and knowledgeable and brilliant and funny. Such a blessing to have her in Victoria."

    Robin van G

    ☆☆☆☆☆

  • "... I was able relate to [Laura] immediately and she makes time to listen and hear it all... I can definitely confirm from painful, personal experience, that the problems she deals with are difficult to raise and discuss, but Laura has such great warmth and openness, I did not find this with her . She is so positive in her approach and you feel she understands where you have been. I have never written a testimonial before but I am a genuine individual in Victoria, writing this one and for very good reasons. At a time when the medical system, despite great doctors, is cruelly slow, it is a life-saver to find someone like Laura. If you have problems in this area, therefore, do not hesitate to take that step - go to see her."

  • "... I came to Laura with mild incontinence, vaginal pain and diastasis recti after my first pregnancy. At the time I was feeling quite anxious about whether or not my body would fully recover in a functional way and feel comfortable again.  From the first appointment I knew I was in good hands. She was incredibly thorough, listened attentively, answered all of my questions and clearly explained her treatment protocols. I started noticing results from day one and I cannot express how grateful I am for her knowledge and skill set."

    M.M.

  • "... In my opinion, [Laura] is perfect for this job. You absolutely know she really cares about helping you. She immediately removes any discomfort, with her kind, understanding, positive and cheery demeanor. She gives 110% in her effort to make you feel comfortable, to help you understand your situation, and Laura does everything she can to help you. I left feeling that this did not have to be the end of the road; that I may not require surgery and that I could possibly fix this problem with kegels. I cannot think of anything else you could ask from a pelvic floor physiotherapist in Victoria."

    C.M.

  • "Laura has the unique ability to make you feel comfortable and heard. I went into my appointment feeling disheartened about the changes in my abdominals that I experienced post-baby. After I left my appointment I felt empowered - confident in my diagnosis, assured that I was supported, and armed with the knowledge to regain my strength. Thank you, Laura."

    T.Q.
