Physiotherapy is an ever-changing and ever-evolving healthcare field, and Rosie strongly believes in maintaining continuing competency in her skills: In order to do this, has recently re-attended both Part 1 and 2 of the Gunn IMS course (in 2023 and 2024) to expand her knowledge and maintain safe practice techniques and protocols.
In Rosie’s spare time she often ventures up island to her hometown of Courtenay to spend time with friends and family. While there she enjoys landscaping, gardening, and getting out into nature hiking and paddle-boarding.
