Let’s shift the narrative, shall we? 

The fear of falling, common in the aging adult, can lead to reduced activity levels. This inactivity, while intended to avoid falls, actually leads to deconditioning, weakening muscles and further diminishing balance, thus paradoxically increasing fall risk. It’s not okay.

I’ve long known change is necessary and starts with practitioners. It’s time for physiotherapists to shift from fear to functional independence—from fall prevention to greater stability through restoration of agility. Let’s change it, together!

Falling Isn’t An F-Word

Moving Matters More.

You know more is possible when treating your clients; keeping people healthy and confident is about more than fall prevention — it's about balance, function, and stability. Restoring balance amidst the fear of falling is hard. That’s why I created The Balance Course—to give you the skills, tools, and mindset to prioritize movement, restore stability, and empower independence.

I’m Chantal,
Nice to Meet You

I’m Chantal, and I’m on a mission to redefine how healthcare professionals approach fall prevention. With over 25 years of experience in community care neurorehabilitation, I’m more than just a physiotherapist—I’m a mentor, educator, and advocate for hands-on, evidence-based care.

As a registered physiotherapist in Ontario and a Doctor of Physical Therapy, I combine my academic background—starting with kinesiology and physiotherapy studies at the University of Ottawa and culminating in a doctorate from Nova Southeastern University—with my French Canadian roots and global experiences. My approach is practical and action-oriented. Whether I’m in a clinical setting, a post-secondary classroom, or leading a professional development course, my goal is to empower healthcare professionals to help their patients rebuild function, restore confidence, and rediscover independence.

For me, it’s not just about teaching—it’s about transforming. Let’s get to work.
