Sharmila Kulkarni, PT, MOMSc, MSc Aging & Health

Sharmila Kulkarni is a physiotherapist and osteopathic manual practitioner with over 25 years of clinical experience. She holds a Bachelor of Health Science in Physiotherapy from McMaster University's renowned School of Rehabilitation Science, and a Master of Osteopathic Manipulative Science from the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy & Holistic Health Sciences. Her Master's in Aging and Health further deepened her understanding of how bodies change across the lifespan.  

Sharmila's practice has always centred on the full arc of women's health — and on the gaps in practitioner training that leave patients underserved at every stage of it. That clinical frustration became a professional mission. As co-founder and director of Integration Health + Education, Sharmila has built a continuing education community grounded in multidisciplinary collaboration, rigorous curriculum, and the conviction that better-trained practitioners produce better patient outcomes.

She brings that same standard to the Women's Health Certification — co-teaching and shaping a program designed not just to add knowledge, but to build genuine clinical competency in women's health across the lifespan.
