Our Team

Lacey graduated from the University of British Columbia (UBC) in 2014 after receiving her Master of Arts degree in Sociology from Simon Fraser University in 2010 and an Honours BA from UBC in 2007. She has a passion for teaching and helping others which drew her to the physiotherapy profession. Currently, Lacey is the Founder & CEO of Bump Physio & Co a boutique physiotherapy brand in the Lower Mainland. Bump Physio & Co began in March of 2018, and since then has grown quickly, but our mission remains the same; to actively listen to our clients, to empower them in health and to provide exceptional quality pelvic health, pre and postpartum care. In her role, Lacey maintains an active clinical caseload and is involved in teaching and mentoring physiotherapists.

In addition to her role at Bump, Lacey is an active member within the physiotherapy profession though her ongoing membership with PABC, CPA and the Women’s Health Division. She is also a teaching assistant with Pelvic Health Solutions as well as an instructor with the Jackson Clinic Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the physiotherapy profession in Kenya and Ethiopia when they launched their pelvic health program. She is passionate about disseminating knowledge in pelvic health and pre and postnatal care, all through a trauma informed lens.

Outside of work, Lacey is an active Mom of 2 tween boys so most likely you’ll catch her with coffee in hand either at the local ice rink or on the side of the soccer pitch.

Janelle completed her Bachelor of Science in Integrative Physiology at Simon Fraser University in 2008. Prior to becoming a Physiotherapist, she worked as a Teaching Assistant in the secondary school system and coached track, volleyball, and soccer.

In 2014, Janelle completed her Masters of Physical Therapy at the University of British Columbia and started her career in public practice where she developed extensive experience in post-surgical rehabilitation, orthopedics, arthritis, geriatric and general surgery. More recently, Janelle chooses to work both in public and private practice, where her focus is on active rehabilitation by creating and guiding individual and group exercise programs.

As a new mom, Janelle has developed an interest in women’s health following her own experiences returning to exercise postpartum. Her recent coursework includes Diane Lee’s “The Abdominal Wall after pregnancy and Diastasis Rectus Abdominus” and is currently completing her training in Rehabilitation Mat & Reformer Pilates through STOTT Pilates.

Janelle firmly believes Pilates helps to improve body awareness, flexibility, and strength. She uses a combination of Pilates principles, manual therapy, soft tissue work, traditional exercises, and education to help restore optimal levels of functioning and to empower her clients in their daily lives.

On her days off, you may find Janelle hiking, kayaking, playing soccer, and spending time with family and friends. She loves to listen to reggae, dance, and paint with acrylics.

I’m Ale, I was born in Colombia and moved to North Vancouver when I was 7 years old. Here, I fell in love with all that BC has to offer. I grew up as a competitive swimmer and received a swimming scholarship to Concordia University in sunny Irvine California. Here, I completed my Bachelor of Arts degree in Exercise and Sports Science. A few years later, I moved to Kingston Ontario to complete my Masters’ of Physical Therapy degree at Queens University.

My Why?

My entire life, I have always loved helping others. In becoming a physiotherapist, I am privileged to help my clients improve their quality of life here at Bump Physio & Co. I believe this is the best gift I could ever give someone. While I was a student, I quickly realized, that I had a keen interest in pelvic health.

I am passionate about working as a pelvic floor physiotherapist because there is a huge gap in care. I want to bring more awareness and knowledge about what women can do to improve their quality of life pre and postpartum. More importantly, to empower women with the knowledge to better understand their pelvis and how it ties so closely to everything we do and how our bodies function. I also enjoy and have experience working with adults and children in orthopedic rehabilitation and sports injuries.

I have completed my Pelvic Health Levels 1-3 through Pelvic Health Solutions as well as a Soft Tissue Release Course. I am eager to continuing my education to better serve my patients.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with friends and family. I love exploring BC’s hikes and will jump into any body of water when given the opportunity. I am thrilled to be a part of the amazing team at Bump and I look forward to improving your pelvic health soon!

And Yes, I am fluent in Español 🙂

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!

Mama to two adorable kids and wife to an ultra-patient IT consultant :blush: I have over 18 years of clinical experience in Sports and orthopaedic physiotherapy and more recently I’ve become certified in Clinical Pilates and in Pelvic Health.

My interest in Pelvic Health started in my 1st pregnancy in 2015. Having experienced some firsthand challenges pre and post-pregnancy, I explored and learned ways to make my pregnancy journey meaningful and successful. Education has been a powerful tool for me, both in preparation for pregnancy, in pregnancy and in my postpartum recovery.

It is my passion to educate and empower clients. It allows your recovery to be less limited by unfounded fears (both in thought and movement!) and to focus on the gains (outcomes?) and goals of the visit. I am an advocate for human movement and mechanics! Both in my day-to-day life and clinical practice, I am always guided with the belief that everyone has a voice or journey to be shared and heard.

I value lifelong learning, and my additional course work includes: Calibrate Pilates (Reformer and Mat), Pelvic Health Level 1, Level 2 Orthopedic Levels in Manual Therapy, ROST Therapy training for Sacro-Iliac Pain, Power Over Prolapse course, K-Taping Pro Course.

Personally, I value faith, family and integrity. I enjoy “park hopping” with my kids, unplanned picnics with the family, fabulous farmer’s market finds and discovering great hole in the wall restaurants or small cafes! I look forward to meeting you!

My name is Mette, I was born and raised in Denmark, but moved to Vancouver in 2016 with my husband and kids. My husband received an amazing job offer and we saw the opportunity to move abroad, take a chance on an adventure and gain a new perspective to our daily lives.

I grew up in the countryside of Denmark. I love being surrounded by nature and staying active through soccer and gymnastics. Through sport, I found an interest in the body and movement, and the importance of physical and mental health. I knew this was something I wanted to pursue.

Graduating from University College Lillebaelt, Odense, Denmark in 2009 with a Bachelor’s degree in Physiotherapy. I have since worked primarily at orthopedic clinics and as a Pilates teacher. My passion is to involve my clients in their own care and promote movement. Movement has a fundamental influence on a person’s physical and mental well-being, which I want to encourage in a way that makes sense for each person.

I have taken several courses through my career with special interest in shoulder, fysioflow (myofascial training), Pilates, McKenzie (lumbar A), and have now completed Pelvic Health Solutions level 1 and 2. Pelvic floor has always had my interest because of its close connection with Pilates, but I wanted more clinical and personal experience going into this intimate area. Now having given birth 3 times and all were very different experiences, I appreciate all the knowledge and research that is going into pelvic health. I am very excited to be a part of this very knowledgeable team and help you improve your pelvic health.

In my spare time, you will see me with my sons at their various activities with a coffee in hand or outside enjoying the beautiful nature in BC.

Looking forward to meeting you!

Hello, I’m Meagan! I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a Master’s Degree in Physical Therapy and a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology. Born and raised in Vancouver, I love the mountains, the ocean, and the city. I consider myself a true Vancouverite.

I am excited to bring a new lens to pelvic floor rehab to the Bump Physio Community. I have been an athlete my entire life competing in various sports including track and field, wrestling, and now as a competitive Olympic weightlifter, I am passionate about treating athletes who struggle with pelvic floor related issues in addition to anyone hoping to return to sport or optimize their day to day activities.

I strive to provide each client with a safe space that is free of judgment in order to work towards their physiotherapy goals. I utilize a person-centered approach to my practice. I believe that an individual’s psychological, physiological and social well-being all play into how they are feeling and strive to help my clients regain confidence and excel in all three aspects using a combination of manual therapy, exercise and patient education.

On my days off, you can catch me hiking with my dog, Kairo, spending the day on my paddle board in the ocean, or training with my team in Richmond in the evenings!

My certifications include Pelvic Health Level 1 & 2 through Pelvic Health Solutions and Advanced Integrated Musculoskeletal Level 1.

Hello there, I’m Alyssa! I hold a Bachelor’s in Kinesiology and, more recently, a Master’s in Physical Therapy from the University of British Columbia. My passion for physical therapy is deeply rooted in the belief that effective, comfortable, and functional movement is key to enjoying life to the fullest and achieving a high quality of life.

Women’s health is a cause close to my heart, and I advocate for it through specialized pelvic health physical therapy, offering individualized treatment. I prioritize open communication to create a welcoming treatment space tailored to your needs, wants, and goals. Alongside focusing on the pelvic floor, I adopt a whole-body/holistic approach to guide you back to the activities you love.

The most rewarding aspect of being a physiotherapist, for me, is working closely alongside you in your recovery, empowering you to reach your individual goals. I am interested in pre-/postpartum care, the role of the pelvic floor in sports and running and assisting those looking to become more active in their day-to-day lives! When I’m not at Bump, you’ll find me applying my physio skills in the ICU and cardiac surgery units at Royal Columbian Hospital.

In my free time, you can find me exploring BC through hiking and backpacking, and I’m always on the lookout for the best restaurants in the Lower Mainland. I’m also passionate about travelling – I’ve been to 13 countries and counting. Ask me about my time in New Zealand! I’m excited about the prospect of meeting you and being a part of your recovery journey!

Robyn is a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), with a Master’s Degree in Counselling
Psychology from UBC. She is certified in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C) and Trauma
Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST). As a counsellor, Robyn works from a person-
centered approach to support clients to feel less overwhelmed by difficult emotions,
better understand their values and needs, improve relationships, and feel more
compassion for themselves.

Robyn was drawn towards working in Perinatal Mental Health after the birth of her first
child. What she discovered through her own postpartum experience and her
connections with other moms was that many were finding the transition to parenthood
to be much harder than anticipated, and often alone with how they were feeling.
Recognizing the need for more support and awareness in this area, Robyn completed
her certification in perinatal mental health. Working from a trauma-informed and
intersectional feminist approach, she is experienced in supporting clients with feelings
of shame, overwhelm, anxiety, and depression, as well as struggles with past trauma,

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!

Ally became passionate about pelvic health when she first started working as a Kinesiologist and discovered how many people can benefit from pelvic floor exercise and proper pre and postnatal care. Her goal as a practitioner is to connect with her clients and create a supportive environment where they feel heard, valued, and cared for.

Outside of work you can find Ally spending time with family and friends, eating great food, at the gym or working on her interior design side-hustle. She is super excited to be a part of the team at BUMP!
