Birth Education and Empowerment

Robyn Synnott is a pelvic health and orthopedic physiotherapist with a passion for trauma-informed care. She owns Ebb + Flow Wellness in Burlington where her practice has a focus on perinatal care and care for people with a vagina throughout their life. She is a CYA-E-RYT500 yoga teacher and has unique training in nursing support, and as a physio-doula. Throughout almost 15 years as a physiotherapist, she has also pursued extensive training in chronic/persistent pain, stress and trauma, nervous system regulation, mindfulness, communication, and advocacy.

Robyn aspires to help people to learn to trust and appreciate their body, to empower them to take charge of their health and wellness, and to focus their treatment on what is important to them. She strives to approach all her interactions with a compassionate curiosity and a trauma-sensitive perspective. She has a passion for helping people in the perinatal period of their lives to feel confident in the strength that their body holds during pregnancy, birth, nursing, and parenting.

In recent years, Robyn has brought an enthusiastic focus to teaching and mentoring other physiotherapists and health care professionals. She has created and teaches “Becoming a Resilient Practitioner with a Trauma-Sensitive Practice” to help other practitioners learn how to confidently integrate trauma-informed care into their practice, and to learn more about themselves while doing it.

Robyn enjoys spending time with her husband, son, and daughter. She loves to explore the outdoors either by hiking, spending time by the water, gardening, and/or traveling.
