SHANNON

Certified Continence Advisor (training), Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT), Anesthesia Assistant (CCAA)

I have been a Respiratory Therapist/Anesthesia Assistant for over 20 years in a hospital setting. ​Helping people is in my nature!

​The Kegel Throne Emsella Treatment is something I’m so pleased to offer. Embarrassing urinary symptoms and incontinence is something I see daily in the hospital setting.  It’s unfortunate that until now, there haven’t been very many effective treatment options for those suffering. Medications and surgery are not options for every-one and wearing pads daily and limiting your activities doesn’t need to be your reality. This treatment is special because it’s completely painless, non-invasive and can provide pelvic floor strengthening faster than other therapies.  I believe this will be the solution so many people are searching for. Men with sexual dysfunction can also benefit. The Emsella Treatment will change lives of men and women for the better.

However, the focus of my clinic is to provide patients with overall pelvic floor healing.  The Emsella Chair is not the only treatment option. Clients will have access to Continence Advisor Services as well as the option to take part in Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy. Every clients medical history and issues are unique. Our team will recommend an appropriate treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.

​I also enjoy rowing competitively, cycling, yoga and just being active and enjoying the outdoors with my 3 children.
