your physical therapist

Kamla is a college (CPTBC) registered physical therapist.

She  is  a  2004  graduate of the University of British Columbia's (UBC) Physical Therapy Program where she was the recipient of the Evert Boxtart Memorial Award in Physical Therapy. 

As a young figure skater, and later as an equestrian, Kamla began her appreciation of the science and art of movement at a young age. 

While completing her first degree in UBC's Science Program, Kamla caught the fitness bug and became a group fitness instructor. 

So began a 20 year involvement in the fitness industry in many capacities  - Personal Trainer; Pilates Instructor; Health & Lifestyle  Consultant; Fitness Columnist; Trainer of Fitness Leaders; Workshop Presenter; and Group Fitness Instructor.

Kamla opened her first Private Personal Training & Pilates Studio - Body Balance Studio - in 1999.

In 2001, Kamla wrote and published her book, "Smart Fat Loss - 12 Principles for a Lifetime of Health & Weight Control." 

Since 2004,  Kamla has worked as an orthopedic physical therapist in the private practice sector. She is a past examiner for the Canadian Alliance of Physiotherapy Regulators and past Clinical Supervisor of Clinical Placements for UBC's Master of Physical Therapy Students. 

For 10 years, Kamla worked in the Occupational Rehabilitation Setting which gave her a wealth of experience working with Sports Medicine Physicians and clients suffering with chronic pain.

In 2017, Kamla had the opportunity to work as a Quality Assurance Supervisor for WorkSafeBC's Health Care Programs. This allowed her to work closely with Physical Therapists, Hand Therapist's, Physicians, Occupational Rehabilitation Clinicians, and Massage Therapist's across B.C. Her experience at WorkSafeBC identified her love for inspiring other physiotherapists to have a powerful impact on both their clients and the profession. This lead Kamla to pursue her Master of Rehabilitation Degree through UBC. 

In 2019, Kamla and her horse, Davina moved to the Netherlands to train with Olympic Silver Medalist, Coby van Baalen. 

Kamla had always intended to combine her unique experience as both an  equestrian athlete and physical therapist and as fate would have it, while in the Netherlands, Kamla met two physical therapists who worked primarily with the equestrian population. Upon her return to Canada, she finally combined her two worlds to share her years of experience in both the equestrian and physiotherapy settings with the equestrian community. 

In conjunction with her Master of Rehabilitation Degree, through the University of British Columbia,  Kamla created a researched-based, sport- specific, 14-Week Online Core Training Program for Riders called Physical Therapy for the  Equestrian which has been receiving rave reviews.
