Healing through movement, science and care
My journey in this field started, like many physiotherapists, with my own injuries. As a competitive athlete, I faced an ACL injury that completely changed my path—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. I learned firsthand that recovery is not only about healing a body part, but about rebuilding confidence in movement, adapting to new challenges, and trusting the process.
Early in my career, I worked in private clinics, treating a wide range of conditions and gaining valuable hands-on experience. I loved helping people move better and feel stronger, but I often felt that traditional clinical models didn’t allow for the level of care I wanted to provide. I wanted to create a space where physiotherapy wasn’t just about protocols and checklists, but about truly listening to patients and tailoring treatment to their individual needs.
In 2014, I took a leap and founded my own clinic in Baja California. Over the next 11 years, it grew into one of the most recognized in the region, welcoming both local and international patients. More than just treating injuries, I had the privilege of walking alongside people in their recovery—helping them return to the activities they loved, regain trust in their bodies, and rediscover their strength.
Years later, my postpartum experience deepened my perspective even further. Despite having access to excellent healthcare, I struggled with pelvic pain and functional limitations for months. I realized how many women face similar challenges, often feeling lost, dismissed, or unsure of where to seek help. That experience not only shaped me as a person but fueled my dedication to pelvic physiotherapy. I knew I wanted to be part of the solution—helping women heal, regain control of their bodies, and move forward with confidence.
Now, in Dubai, I continue that mission with a more individualized approach. I believe physiotherapy should be more than just a treatment—it should be a partnership, where patients feel heard, supported, and empowered. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or navigating postpartum changes, my goal is to provide expert care that is as compassionate as it is effective.
Because recovery isn’t just about getting better—it’s about reclaiming the way you move, live, and feel.
