As 2026 comes to a close, we're taking time to celebrate the people who make Flow Physio + Wellness what it is. We asked each member of our team to reflect on the year: what they learned, what they're proud of and what they're working toward next.
This time, we're sitting down with Kristen Smith, RMT — Registered Massage Therapist, certified infant massage instructor, prenatal and postnatal yoga teacher, and leader of our Postnatal Strength & Core classes.
Something Kristen learned in 2026
"Early 2026 I completed an intensive course in Craniosacral Therapy specific to infants. It really helped expand my knowledge and has become an incredible tool in my practice that has provided amazing results with my infant patients."
Something she's proud of
"I'm proud of myself for really diving into my business and making the jump to (almost) exclusively treating infants."
What she's looking forward to in 2027
"I'm looking forward to continuing to build strong relationships with my patients and families, making memories with my kids and husband, and spending most of my free time at a hockey rink or baseball diamond!"
Her goal for 2027
"My goal for 2027 is to ENJOY my time off and to soak up as much time as I can having fun with my kids. I would love to get on a family vacation this year!"
What to know before your first appointment with Kristen
"I would like someone booking with me to know that I will meet you where you're at and I provide a collaborative approach. I am here to provide support, encouragement and a plan to help you have the best experience with your baby possible! My treatments are a judgement-free space and I genuinely care that you and your baby feel cared for and supported through all of the stages in your journey."
About Kristen
Kristen has been a Registered Massage Therapist since 2015 and a certified Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga Instructor since 2017. She is also a Certified Pregnancy & Postpartum Athleticism Coach and teaches small group, physiotherapy-based pelvic health classes at Flow Physio + Wellness.
Her love of prenatal and postnatal care comes from her own pregnancy and postpartum experience, where she noticed a lack of support for moms. From there, she knew she wanted to focus her career on this population. Kristen's goal is for every patient to feel supported and taken care of.
Her classes focus on safely building strength and flexibility in the prenatal and postpartum body, with an emphasis on breath work and the pelvic floor. Her knowledge of the human body helps her tailor each class to participants' individual needs.
