The SIDEKICK

Hello!

I’m Suzanne and I am passionate about helping family members and loved ones participate with older adults in helping to maintain their mobility, function and quality of life, from home.

My background is in physiotherapy, with a specialisation in neurologic care and a sub-specialisation in vestibular (dizziness and balance) concerns.

For over a decade I have had the privilege of working with older adults in a variety of settings – outpatient clinics, inpatient rehabilitation and home care – supporting them in regaining and maintaining their function.

In both my professional and personal life – watching my mother support my grandmother through her later years – something that has really struck me is the critical role that family members and caregivers play in supporting recovery and maintenance of movement.

The desire to help is there – but the tools often aren’t.

My hope is that The Sidekick can help change that – offering guidance, encouragement, and a simple way to move forward, together.
