Callie Berlet
PHYSIOTHERAPIST
MPT, BKIN
Callie was raised in Tillsonburg, Ontario where she grew her passion for movement through dance. This led her to train professionally at the Quinte Ballet School of Canada and the School of Alberta Ballet, obtaining advanced Royal Academy of Dance and Cecchetti training. It was here that she gained a keen interest in the functioning of the human body and how psychological and sociological factors can contribute to illness and injury. Wanting to be considerate of this while providing personal and holistic treatment through education and movement, she began to pursue a career in Physiotherapy.
While obtaining a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology at the University of British Columbia, she acted as a varsity Athletic Therapist working with the rugby, basketball, and football teams, then continued employment as a Sports Rehab Kinesiologist. Continuing her love for artistic athletics, she became an NCCP Certified Gymnastics Coach working with children and adults in the Vancouver area. Upon moving to Hamilton, Ontario she obtained her 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training certificate and has taught classes for adults and kids of all ages and abilities.
After graduation from the Master’s of Physiotherapy program at McMaster University, Callie has continued education in Pediatrics, Pelvic and Women’s Health, and Neurokinetic Therapy. Callie has experience working with children and adults presenting with a variety of orthopedic and neurological diagnoses and strives to provide personalized knowledge and strategies to support her clients in reaching their maximum potential.
Now a resident of Nanaimo, you can find Callie outside of the clinic at the yoga studio, biking, snowboarding, surfing, golfing, and indulging in creative pursuits like painting, writing, and designing.
