About me
Dr. Griffiths is a Chiropractor and Yoga Teacher, practicing in Guelph, Ontario. Dr. Griffiths' undergraduate academic journey began at the University of Guelph where she majored in Biomedical Science. In her fourth year of the program, she completed research under Professor and Chiropractor Dr. John Srbely, investigating pain patterns in patients diagnosed with chronic pain. This led Dr. Griffiths to develop a particular interest in assessing and treating chronic pain. She went on to complete her Doctor of Chiropractic degree, graduating Summa Cum Laude from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College.
In 2016, Kirstie embarked on a one-month intensive Yoga Teacher Training program in Nicaragua where she acquired her 200-Hour level certification. She currently offers yoga classes publicly at the University of Guelph, Movati Athletic, and LOYOLA Fit.
