Registered Physiotherapist

Helen (she/they) is a physiotherapist with a passion for the arts, and who strives to provide evidence-based, person-centered care with sincerity, curiosity and playfulness.

Helen graduated with an MScPT from the University of Toronto in 2020 and with a BScKin from the University of Victoria in 2017. They also completed a minor in psychology (also at UVic), and have been involved in various research projects: Helen has published research on the exercise experiences of adults living with HIV and complex multi-morbidity and worked as a research assistant collecting data for the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Ageing. They’ve worked in the UVic Motion and Mobility Lab assisting with research on Falls Risk in Older Adults.

Every session begins with a story, and whether it be simple or complex, they hope to hear you out. Helen’s role is to collaborate with you: to gain perspective on your problems and to develop a robust treatment plan that suits you and your needs. In their treatment plans, Helen looks for strategies that regulate the nervous system and for catalysts that stimulate the body’s adaptive / repair responses. This may involve modalities and/or manual therapy, and will almost definitely involve some level of mindful movement and/or exercise. Ultimately, Helen’s goal is to facilitate your ability to do the things that are important to you.

Helen enjoys helping people with post-surgical recovery, learning how to manage chronic conditions like hyper-mobility, and has several years of experience working in hand therapy.

Jarryd Reed

BSc, BCAK, CSCS - Kinesiologist

My name is Jarryd Reed, and I come from a small town in central Alberta. Growing up, I was involved in every sport I could participate in—cycling, climbing, volleyball, football, soccer, badminton, snowboarding, and many others. Through these activities, I faced several serious injuries in my athletic endeavors, which sparked my fascination with physical therapy. I was particularly intrigued by the ability of physical therapists and kinesiologists to assess physiological limitations and develop effective rehabilitation plans to keep others active and healthy.

My passion for health and fitness led me to transition into the health and exercise field, where I earned a Personal Training Diploma with honors from the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT). The COVID-19 pandemic marked a turning point in my career, prompting me to adapt by offering online training to sport-specific athletes and close friends. This shift allowed me to build a dedicated client base that I continue to work with today.

In 2021, I moved to Victoria to pursue my passion for helping people in the health and fitness community. I earned my degree in Kinesiology from Camosun College. Now, as a full-time Kinesiologist and Strength & Conditioning Coach, I bring my experience, knowledge, and passion to help individuals achieve their health and fitness goals.

Raised in beautiful Victoria, I developed a deep love for an active lifestyle. During high school, I was a competitive rower, which initially sparked my passion for health and fitness.

After graduating, I worked as a kinesiologist alongside physiotherapists who inspired me to pursue a career in physiotherapy. I completed my MSc in Physiotherapy in Aberdeen, Scotland at Robert Gordon University. I am thrilled that I now have the opportunity to bring my learning back to my hometown, where I can help people recover from their injuries and manage their conditions.
