Our Team

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!

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 Nicola! I was born and raised in the beautiful city of North Vancouver and completed both my Bachelors of Behavioral Neuroscience and Masters of Physical Therapy at the University of British Columbia. I have always had a passion for helping people, so I am overjoyed to have found a career where I can blend my love for exercise, education, pelvic/perinatal conditions and sport!

My interest in pelvic floor physio started when I was a student as I realized just how many people struggle with hidden pelvic health concerns. I discovered the integral role the pelvic floor plays in our daily quality of life, and wanted to be part of the movement to de-stigmatize, advocate, and truly make a difference for those living with pelvic health dysfunction. I want to help close the huge gap that currently exists in our healthcare system, and can’t think of a better way to do it. I have a special interest in getting you back to sport/activity due to my background in martial arts and other various sports!

I am excited for a career of lifelong learning, so far I have completed my Pelvic Health Levels 1-2 and been certified by the CPA Orthopedic Division for their Level 1 Advanced Integrated Musculoskeletal Program.

Whether it’s your very first physiotherapy appointment or you’re a seasoned regular, the most important thing to me is making sure you feel safe, comfortable and empowered every session. My goal is always to work collaboratively to create a treatment plan that works for you and your unique situation.

Outside clinic hours you can find me lifting weights at the gym, mountain biking on Fromme, trail running with my dog, skiing at Whistler, hitting some Muay Thai pads, or trying new recipes!

I’m so grateful to be a part of the Bump Team and I’m looking forward to supporting you on your health and recovery journey!

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!

Katrina’s love for movement and health started during her 12-year stint as a ballet dancer. Inspired by this passion, she decided to study kinesiology at the University of the Fraser Valley, where she recently snagged her bachelor’s degree. Excited about the idea of working in a space that champions women’s empowerment and offers insights into women’s health, Katrina looks forward to meeting new people and making a positive impact in their lives.

In her downtime, Katrina enjoys outdoor escapades with her trusty sidekick, Luna. When she’s indoors, you’ll often find her chilling with her pets, Jynx and Luna, either engrossed in a good book or catching up on movies.

Hello, I’m Manvir! I’m in my second year of pursuing a Bachelor’s degree with a major in health sciences. My journey in this field is fueled by a passion for promoting balance and wellness. As I navigate my academic path, I am particularly drawn to understanding our healthcare system and inspired to contribute towards its improvement.

A core value of mine is the sharing of knowledge. I am enthusiastic about delving deeper into women’s health, particularly focusing on the pelvic floor, and contributing insights to build an informed community.

Beyond my academic pursuits, I enjoy going to the gym with friends and family, going on walks, journaling, and expressing my creativity through coloring or painting.

I am excited to be a part of the Bump team and look forward to contributing to creating a welcoming atmosphere!

My name is Amritha. I recently graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in psychology. I am thrilled to join the Bump team and bring my passion for women’s health and wellness. My interest in this field comes from personal experiences with health professionals and managing pain, which have inspired me to help individuals feel comfortable and supported as they seek care.

Many women struggle with pain, and pelvic floor health is often not discussed enough. I believe that every woman deserves to feel heard and cared for, and I am committed to contributing to this mission at Bump.

In my spare time, I enjoy dancing, spending quality time with friends and family, and exploring the outdoors through hiking. I look forward to growing both personally and professionally with the Bump team and to making a positive impact!
