Erica Schippers

I have developed a strong passion for helping individuals from diverse backgrounds and meeting their indvidual needs. My journey began as an Exercise Physiologist, and now as a Physiotherapist, I take pride in delivering high-quality care to the community while fostering therapeutic relationships. I thrive in team environments, this enhances my knowledge and enables me to identify areas for professional growth, ultimately allowing me to provide even better care.
