About
Framework Health is built on the foundation that health is much more than just the absence of injury or illness. Meaningful and lasting recovery requires a comprehensive approach; one that considers the physical, cognitive, emotional, and environmental factors at play. Ongoing wellness throughout life necessitates insightful and proactive planning.
Erin has worked in both public and private health care settings from coast to coast providing Occupational Therapy services to individuals with a range of musculoskeletal, mental health, cognitive, and neurological issues. She is passionate about ongoing education to ensure best practices, and has achieved multiple qualifications and certifications throughout her career. She has been accepted as an expert witness in the Supreme Court of British Columbia in the areas of Functional Capacity Evaluation and Cost of Future Care Assessment. She is the Vice President of the Board of Directors for BrainTrust Canada and is eager to give back to her community and find ways to prevent injury with a proactive approach. When she is not working, you can find her on a mountain side in any season, with her husband Jordan and their two children who are already having to stop and wait for mom to catch up.

Following illness or injury our world is suddenly and irrevocably changed. We become immersed in learning how to live with a new reality. Using Occupational Therapy principles of recovery using activity, Corina supports functional improvement with people who have been through traumatic and stressful experiences.
She helps people navigate their new reality to find healthy perceptions of themselves as peaceful, whole, and safe.
She supports recovery with persons experiencing symptoms of mild traumatic brain injury, post-concussion symptoms, chronic pain, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, phobias, and neurodivergent traits. As an Occupational Therapist, she works with individuals to improve participation in valued life roles and meaningful activities.
No single approach is right for every individual, so Corina is trained in and experienced with a range of modalities including exposure response therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, sensory modulation for emotional self-regulation and symptom management, relaxation, cognitive remediation, Progressive Goal Attainment (PGAP), and life-style adaptations.
For fun and relaxation, Corina enjoys outdoor activities, crafting, and spending time with family and friends.
