Joanne Driscoll
I have over 40 years experience in the Medical Laboratory field. I started my career in Calgary, AB, as a Laboratory Technologist, but quickly moved back home to beautiful Newfoundland. I then began working in blood collection at multiple sites including St. Clares Hospital, Waterford Hospital and Health Science Centre. This finally gave me a chance to advance in my field as a Medical Laboratory Technologist where I retired from the Chemistry Department in December of 2019.
I’m just as passionate about my patients as I am with my family. Outside of work, you can find me camping with friends, taking a cruise around the Caribbean, having a game of scrabble with my husband, or spending time with my little Havanese, Henry.

I didn’t choose the profession of Physiotherapy as much as it chose me. As a little girl, I remember watching a younger girl getting on the elevator with Lofstrand crutches, her legs swinging between the crutches with no muscular control. She looked directly at me and smiled. The impact of that encounter resulted in a personal vow, to chose work that assists people with movement challenges.
My 40 year career in Physiotherapy has given me the opportunity to work in far reaching lands and cultures as diverse as the Sudan, South Africa, Haiti, Saudi Arabia and New Zealand. I’ve been the senior Physiotherapist in burn units, ICU, neurology, orthopaedics, and specialized in many manual therapy courses. After years of travel and visiting and working in over 50 countries, I settled in Newfoundland in the eighties.
One of my fondest professional achievements is the creation of Villa Nova Physiotherapy Clinic, in 1991. Over the years of continued practice, learning, and studying, I continue to be aware of the importance of being able to move our bodies with comfort and ease, regardless of injury, illness, athletic goals, or age.
Along with a traditional Physiotherapeutic approach, I borrow from other movement practises like yoga, to help expand spatial awareness, and fluidity of movement. I also teach anatomy and weave this knowledge into education and understanding with my patients and students.
It is a true privilege to be able to help people move and feel better, and I’m forever grateful for that little girl who lit up my path so many years ago!

I’m a Registered Massage Therapist originally from La Scie, NL. I graduated from the program in February 2023 at Academy Canada in Corner Brook. Soon after I moved to St. John’s to begin my career. I have a passion for fitness/weightlifting. This thankfully introduced me to Massage Therapy. I had issues myself that affected my training and daily life for years, ultimately an RMT helped resolve them. Giving I’m a person that thrives in an environment where I can help people, this opened my eyes to the world of massage therapy and lead me to a career that I love. I perform therapeutic treatments including deep tissue and relaxation that are personalized to each individual based on your needs. Aside from training in the gym I enjoy staying active, hiking, sightseeing, painting and taking any advantage I can to be outdoors.
