Dr. Manthorne is a Newfoundlander born and bred.  She completed her medical degree and paediatric subspecialty training St. John's, (with stints in Halifax and Montréal), and moved to British Columbia in 2004, initially to the Okanagan Valley to complete a summer locum.  This turned into an 18 month stay, and before she knew it, British Columbia had become her home.  She feels very much at home in Victoria, close to the ocean, with the cool wind keeping the summers closer to the temperatures she’s used to.

In addition to Medicine, Dr. Manthorne pursues ongoing education through her Master Gardener training, is an at-home chef, loves music, enjoys photography and loves to run and spend time with her husband and step children. 

In addition to office practice she has a busy hospital practice, and teaches with the University of British Columbia and University of Victoria training the next generation of young physicians.
