Jayda Lauzon | South Island Physiotherapy

Hi, my name is Jayda, and I am a Kinesiologist and Personal Trainer at South Island Physiotherapy. I work with people who want to feel stronger and more confident in their bodies, but may not be sure where to start, what exercises are right for them, or how hard they should be pushing.

I have a particular interest in helping women through perimenopause and menopause who may be noticing changes in their strength, energy, recovery, or confidence with exercise. This stage of life can make movement feel unfamiliar, and my goal is to help you better understand what your body needs, build strength progressively, and feel capable rather than limited by those changes.

My approach is to make strength training feel practical, approachable, and specific to you. Whether you are new to the gym, returning to exercise after time away, or looking to build strength for the activities you love, I will meet you where you are and create a plan around your goals, experience, and lifestyle. I also want you to understand why we are doing what we are doing, so you leave feeling more confident managing your own health and fitness.

I completed my Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology at the University of Victoria and am a NASM Certified Personal Trainer. My background includes strength and conditioning with UVic varsity athletes, adaptive exercise, children’s physiotherapy, and the FAME post-stroke exercise program.

Outside of work, I enjoy strength training, hiking and exploring Vancouver Island, travelling, reading, and finding just about any excuse to get outside.

She took the time to listen to my issues and asked the appropriate questions to help her understand how she could best be of help to my needs. Emily physically showed me what exercises to work on to help me with my injury . I felt like I had known Emily for a long time.
She was very thorough and a great listener. I would highly recommend Emily .

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend Emily Ervine! I saw her for an arm issue related to golf and had a great experience. She did a very thorough assessment, used IMS/dry needling, and gave me specific exercises tailored to my situation. I noticed a significant improvement right away.

Emily is an excellent communicator and her golf/sports background was a huge plus — she immediately understood how my injury related to my swing and what I was trying to get back to. The whole treatment plan felt very personalized and practical. One of the best physio experiences I’ve had.
