Madison Malette

Throughout my career I have had the opportunity to work with many different patient populations, building a wide skillset. I have worked alongside elite level sports teams as an athletic trainer, gaining several trainer and coaching certifications, as well as with MVA patients, orthopaedic clients, prenatal/postpartum clients, geriatric patients and more.

During my journey through the workforce, I became more and more drawn to women’s health. My first encounters working closely with women began while I was studying at the University of Ottawa when I became involved with Mothercraft Ottawa as a birthing and parenting companion. Following this I began training and providing nutritional counselling to young, female hockey teams. As my experiences in women’s health grew, so did my passion. Being able to connect my love of health care, women’s health, and fitness training was always a dream, but became a reality with Breast Rehab.

I am very grateful for the opportunity to be a part of so many women’s journeys back to doing what they love after undergoing breast surgery. Our treatments are designed for clients who undergo surgery for breast cancer as well as prophylactic mastectomy, breast reconstruction, mammoplasty, and gender affirmation procedures.

It is an absolute pleasure to be able to work alongside so many incredible healthcare professionals at Breast Rehab, providing an interdisciplinary team approach to care. I am so thrilled to be able to do what I love, to get you back to doing what you love!
