Our Team

I completed my Masters of Physical Therapy at the University of Sydney in 2013 after obtaining my Bachelors of Kinesiology degree at SFU. My passion for travel led me to jump at the opportunity to study abroad. I have visited over 15 countries and can’t wait to travel again when the kids are older. Running and lifting weights is my therapy and I have completed numerous half-marathons, marathons and some sprint triathlons.

My interest for Women’s Health sparked when I was a young girl watching my mom suffer from gynaecological issues. In my 20’s, I wanted to learn more about my own pelvic floor dysfunction and help more women which led me to get certified in Pelvic Floor Rehab.  I am passionate about life long learning and have completed numerous post-graduate courses in manual therapy, pelvic health, acupuncture, and dry needling. I completed the Connect Therapy™ Series with Dr. Linda Joy Lee which involves whole body assessment, finding the root cause of dysfunction and treating the whole person. I have a holistic care approach in assessing and treating the pelvic floor and how it functions with the rest of the body.

The body and mind are interconnected and I strive to create a safe space for people to talk about their pelvic health. I believe strongly in listening to my clients, and having you as an active participant in your treatment plan. I also love integrating Pilates based exercises to help you move with more ease and a stronger foundation.

I want to empower women to understand their bodies and help women transition through different stages of life: Bump and Beyond. I LOVE what I do: helping people to live their fullest lives with joy and good health. Since having 2 babies, I am even more committed to specializing my practice in pelvic health. I am so lucky to be surrounded by compassionate and talented teammates at BUMP.  I am excited to meet YOU and help you get back to doing the things you love with confidence and ease!

Outside the clinic, you can find me cleaning up after my kids and dog. We love to be outdoors in nature and exploring the local trails. To keep me calm and grounded, I strive to practice yoga daily.

I completed my Master’s of Physical Therapy at the University of Toronto, and my Bachelor’s of Rehabilitation Sciences at Western University. I became passionate about pelvic health when I became pregnant with my son and experienced for myself the profound effect pelvic physiotherapy can have on health and quality of life. My primary goal as a clinician is to help my clients feel comfortable and empowered, and to consider the whole person when providing treatment.

I have recently moved to Port Moody from Toronto, and although I love the food, culture, and people in Toronto, I am falling in love with the breweries, ocean, and endless hiking options in Port Moody. In my spare time you can typically find me park-hopping with my toddler, picnicking with friends, or doing activities that revolve around eating great food.

I value lifelong learning and ongoing education. Over the past 6 years I’ve gained experience in conditions involving neurological rehab, vestibular rehab, persistent pain, and musculoskeletal injuries. I have taken several post-graduate courses to improve my skills including both internal and external pelvic floor training, MDT McKenzie training for treatment of the spine and extremities, and vestibular rehabilitation training.

I’m so happy to be part of the team at Bump!

Carol was born and raised in Montreal, Québec. She is a registered physiotherapist that completed her Bachelor of Kinesiology from the University of British Columbia and her Masters of Physical Therapy from McGill University provided in extension at the University of Québec in Chicoutimi.

Carol believes that her previous experience as a gymnast will be an asset to her Pilates skills. Incorporating flexibility, strength and fluidity of movement into her practice. She believes in a client-centered approach that involves Pilates, traditional exercises, manual skills and education to empower her clients to achieve their functional goals. Carol is excited to start treating prenatal and post-partum health as she believes that women should feel empowered, confident, and strong through their care.

Previously to joining Bump Physio & Co, Carol worked for many years with clients with neurological conditions such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and post-concussion syndrome.

Carol loves continuing her education and has taken numerous courses including:

• Calibrate Pilates Instructor

Kat was born in Poland, and immigrated to Canada with her family as a young child. She still speaks fluent Polish! Kat graduated from the University of British Columbia with an undergraduate degree in Kinesiology, and has been working in the fitness industry for 16 years. She is a Nationally Certified Pilates Teacher and is comprehensively trained in teaching the Pilates Method.

Kat has experienced first hand the importance of pelvic floor and core rehabilitation after the birth of her first child. Being physically fit throughout her entire adult life, Kat was shocked by the changes her body endured postpartum. Weakened pelvic floor muscles, diastasis recti, and a consistently aching lower and upper back motivated her to enroll in the Bellies Inc. Core Confidence program. Kat was impressed by how much she learned in a relatively short amount of time. The course opened her eyes to just how little support is provided for postpartum care when it comes to pelvic floor and core rehabilitation. Upon completion, Kat felt like she finally found her calling in the world of exercise! Kat is driven to help her clients succeed in gaining confidence in their bodies through exercise rehabilitation and self love and acceptance.

When she is not working with clients, or talking to other moms about their fertility, prenatal, and postpartum journeys, Kat loves to spend her free time exploring the outdoors with her family – camping, hiking, or just park hopping, having silly dance parties in her kitchen with her two kids, watching stand up comedy with her husband, writing, or working on an arts and crafts project!
