Danielle opens up about the realities of postpartum recovery, body image struggles, and the power of community support. She also shares her go-to strategies for maintaining health as a busy mom, emphasizing the importance of self-care and offering yourself grace.

With a Master's in Physical Therapy from the University of Toronto, she has a passion for helping others find balance through movement. Over the years, she’s competed in fitness competitions, marathons, and triathlons, giving her firsthand experience with the ups and downs of physical training. These days, Danielle loves her Peloton, Pilates classes, hiking, and a good run. Her work with Flow allows her to bring that same passion for movement into the lives of her patients.
