About Us
HI, I’M NICOLE HAWKEN. Goldie’s Animal Rehab Co. is a Physiotherapy-inspired practice that focuses on helping four-legged family members live their best life. Goldie’s embodies the reason why I’m so passionate about my work, the name ‘Goldie’s’ was inspired by my sweet little Golden, Gracie. As a Registered Physiotherapist working as an Animal Rehabilitation Therapist, I assess injuries and conditions that affect a pet’s ability to move or function independently. This is helpful for animals that are recovering from injury or just trying to age gracefully. I’m passionate about empowering owners through education to help improve, and in some cases prolong, the quality of life of their pets. I graduated from Queen’s University with a Master’s of Physiotherapy and went on to become a Registered Physiotherapist with the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario in 2010. Once I started my human practice, I took courses to become a Certified Animal Rehabilitation Therapist through the Animal Rehabilitation Division of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association. My next goal is to complete my Diploma in Animal Rehabilitation. Goldie’s Animal Rehab Co.’s mission is simple: offer a really great experience. In doing so, we will educate and empower owners to make informed decisions about their pets’ health to uncover the hidden potential in each and every one.
Work with Goldie's
Physiotherapists are passionate about movement. Understanding how injury affects a pet’s ability to function is crucial in restoring quality of life.
The secret to injury prevention shouldn’t really be a secret! Understanding risk during play or activities of daily living and teaching your pet body awareness through exercise are the secret ingredients.
Injuries happen, it’s a fact. One of the most valuable things you can do is learn what to do to ensure a complete recovery. We can help get you and your pet back to doing what you love most!

What Patients Are Saying
What an amazing facility! This quiet, calm setting allowed my pup to be assessed fully. The patience and understanding for her demeanour was evident throughout. We left with exercises that could easily be done at home. Thank you!
Tracy Moorhouse
Had our initial assessment with Shaughna and it was fantastic! She provided lots of helpful information about home exercises and did a thorough examination of the areas Capone needs attention. Shaughna was wonderful with Capone he absolutely enjoyed himself! I really appreciated how she involved me throughout the process, explaining each exercise and its purpose so I could confidently continue them at home. Her passion for her work truly shows! Thank you, Shaughna, Capone and I are already looking forward to our next appointment!

We always have a very positive experience while at doggie physio. The physiotherapist is very skilled, kind, patient and provides a quiet, calm space which really helps our boy to stay happy and relaxed.

Goldie’s animal rehab is an intricate part of maintaining my four legged friends, action pack lifestyle. Thank you so much for your professionalism and your care compassion. Can’t wait until our next appointment!

Shaughna took time to get to know what caused the injury to our dog and explained what to do to help with the recovery period (stretching exercises) during the initial assessment visit. Very friendly and kind to our dog. She used laser therapy on the injured muscle to help with the healing process.
