A Safe, Supportive Space

Novella Health is a trauma-aware practice. We understand that seeking care for pelvic health may feel vulnerable, especially if you have a history of birth trauma, sexual abuse, domestic or intimate partner violence, and/or postpartum depression or PTSD.

You’re always in control of your care. We go at your pace, and you never need to disclose anything unless you choose to.

ABOUT ME

I am a physiotherapist with over 25 years of field and clinical experience, beginning in sports medicine and evolving into a deep passion for women’s pelvic health. After navigating my own birth trauma, I founded Novella Health to offer compassionate, evidence-based care for women at every stage of life. I hold a Clinical Doctorate in Physical Therapy and continue to deepen my expertise through ongoing training, including a special interest in fertility support.

 

At the heart of Novella Health is a warm, considered approach to care. I understand that pelvic health is deeply personal, often layered with experiences that aren’t always easy to speak about. My aim is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and truly listened to. The clinic environment reflects this — calm, comfortable, and intentionally designed to help you feel at ease from the moment you walk in.

 

The name Novella was chosen with meaning. A novella is a short novel — longer than a short story, yet more focused than a full-length book, often giving close attention to one or two central characters. To me, it represents the in-between: complex, detailed, and full of nuance. That’s how I view each person’s health journey. It’s never one-size-fits-all. It’s a story that unfolds, and deserves time to be told. That’s why my appointments are longer — to make space for you to share, and for us to explore your care with depth and clarity.

 

The name is also a tribute to my late mother, a librarian with a deep love of stories and the people who carried them. In honour of her, Novella Health is grounded in the belief that every individual brings a rich and valuable narrative. My role is to listen closely, work collaboratively, and

support you in moving forward with

strength, clarity, and confidence.

I look forward to seeing you.
