Hayley’s interest in Athletic Therapy stemmed from her long history as a world-level competitive Irish dancer and was confirmed by the sports medicine internships she completed at Brock University. There she obtained her undergraduate degree in Kinesiology where she worked as a sports medicine intern with the Varsity Rowing teams year round, travelling with them to the University Rowing Championships in Victoria, BC. Following graduation Hayley pursued her second degree in Athletic Therapy at Sheridan College, where she worked as a certification candidate for Fort Erie International Academy preparatory basketball, Olympia Sports Camp, and Brock University’s Men’s Varsity Rugby team. Since receiving her title as a Certified Athletic Therapist, Hayley has practiced in Niagara at Ridley College athletics, providing both field coverage and in-clinic treatments to student-athletes. 

Throughout her career as a competitive Irish dancer Hayley was fortunate enough to be successful in earning a world medal, but alongside this accomplishment she earned many injuries as well. This is her primary motivation for providing treatment not only to dancers, but every individual who has ever felt that they didn’t get the individualized care they needed in order to succeed in their goals. She believes as a practitioner that there is endless room to keep learning in order to provide the best-quality care for each individual she encounters. Her treatment techniques are a combination of hands-on (manual), modality, and exercise based techniques carefully crafted for the needs of the client on a case-by-case basis.
