Natalie St-Denis
Physiotherapist
Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Natalie St-Denis combines her knowledge and experience treating physical tissues with the emotional connection that impacts the pain experience. She has completed her Master's in Counselling Psychology with the goal of embracing a mind and body approach to chronic pain which is supported by research. The modalities of traditional physiotherapy are combined with education and coaching techniques aimed at connecting the body's physical expressions of pain to thoughts, emotions, and behaviours that either result from pain, increase the impact of pain, or maintain the pain. Using the medicine wheel model, the patient achieves a greater understanding of persistent pain mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically in order to begin regaining control and to achieve meaningful goals.
​
Natalie is a 2004 Magna Cum Laude graduate of the University of Ottawa and has completed her Masters in Counselling Psychology with Yorkville University.
Her continuing education courses include:
- Myofascial Release 1, 2, and Fascial Pelvis
- McKenzie Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy A, B, and C
- Certified Level 1; Acupuncture Foundation of Canada Institute
- Certified Level 1 Manual Therapy
​
Natalie is also a pelvic physiotherapist and can treat pelvic pain and incontinence in men, women, and children. Courses include:
- Pelvic Health Solutions Level 1,2, and 3
- Pregnancy and the Pelvic Floor
- Male Pelvic Health Masterclass
- Pediatric Pelvic Floor
Sometimes, counselling skills integration within the physiotherapy session are not enough to address the full spectrum of emotional or cognitive impact on physical pain. In the case where the emotional and cognitive factors need to be specifically addressed, psychotherapy appointments are also available with Natalie. Using EMDR as a foundation for mind and body healing, Natalie implements an integrative approach of CBT, DBT, Emotion Focused, ACT, and Somatic Therapy selected in partnership with the client in order to achieve meaningful goals.
