An athletic therapist who graduated from Concordia University in 2004, Kyla is a member of the Canadian Association of Athletic Therapists. She began her career in sports medicine, working for several years with the provincial teams of Rugby Québec and at the National Circus School of Montreal.

A sports fanatic and curious by nature, she obtained her osteopathy diploma from the Center ostétique du Québec in 2012. Since then, she has been part of the medical team at the Canada Games twice and at the Vancouver Olympic Games. She was also a consultant for the Armada (LHJMQ) and is a therapist accredited by the Center for Development and Excellence in Sports and Leisure (counterpart of the National Sports Institute).

A rugby and hockey player, Kyla has not only suffered concussions, but has managed and treated concussion cases for several years. In 2015, she began her journey to develop a care and interprofessional collaboration project for concussions. In 2019 she completed a master's research project at Concordia University where she found a significant link between neck and head mobility restrictions and persistent symptoms associated with post-concussion syndrome. She then began several training courses on concussions, vestibular rehabilitation and visual therapy and performance. Aware of the importance of education, she gives conferences on concussions that include prevention programs and are adapted to the populations concerned. Concerned about the great need for support for people suffering from concussion, she founded Vertex Commotion.
