Understanding the importance of the diversification in clinical approaches, Gwen is currently working to expand her certification through FCE credentialing, Industrial Rehabilitation.

In the clinic, Gwen’s goal is to empower her patient’s through education. “When a patient enters our clinic, he/she will embark on a wellness journey attaining a level of knowledge and self – management regarding their diagnosis and potential for functional progression. In doing so, we hope to emphasize shared ownership in their functional progression. This is key to obtaining overall wellness.” Gwen has been described by her patients as a competent and compassionate therapist.

When not at Pivot, Gwen finds enjoyment in family time, spiritual wellness and participating in school and community-based activities.
