Marcelle Fujimaki PT
I completed my degree in Physiotherapy from the University of Joao Pessoa in Brazil in 2004. Afterwards, I worked mainly in private clinics with a variety of clients and an emphasis on musculoskeletal conditions. In 2007 I moved to Canada and after learning English I began working as a physiotherapy assistant in a very busy private clinic, where I worked for 5 years. As life moves on, I had two beautiful children, and decided to focus on home life for a few years. Now that they are older and in school, I pursued my dreams to practice physiotherapy in Canada and recently I completed my Canadian certification. I am very passionate about sharing my experience and knowledge with my patients. I believe we can help our community by empowering them to achieve their best performance through life, in the setting that matters to them, fulfilling important life roles, and returning to a variety of meaningful activities.

This initial exposure paved the way for her educational pursuit in Fitness and Health Promotion at Humber College. Following her education, she dedicated herself as a Physiotherapy Assistant at an esteemed orthopedic rehabilitation clinic. This experience reignited her fervor for aiding others in their healing journeys, ultimately driving her to embark on a fulfilling career in Massage Therapy. Here, she meticulously honed her expertise in functional movement and advanced treatment techniques.
Today, as a dedicated Registered Massage Therapist (RMT), Gauri is thrilled to translate her extensive knowledge and skills into action, guiding her patients towards a life marked by improved health and happiness.
