She won a gold medal in the K-1 200 m LTA event at the 2010 ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships in Poznań. Gauthier also participated in women's ice sledge hockey. A member of the Canada women's national ice sledge hockey team since 2012, she competed in the first-ever IPC Ice Sledge Hockey Women's International Cup in 2014.

Paracanoe

At the 2015 ICF Canoe Sprint World Championships in Milan, Italy, Gauthier finished in sixth place.

Personal life

In December 2022, Gauthier testified that a Veterans Affairs Canada employee offered her medical assistance in dying (MAiD) as an option when she was fighting for installing a wheelchair lift or ramp at her house. This has led to a national controversy, with Prime minister Justin Trudeau called the report "absolutely unacceptable". Subsequently, VA claimed they found no record that MAID has been offered as an option to Gauthier and only found four such cases, all involving a single now-suspended case manager.
