Our Team

I completed my Master of Physical Therapy at the University of Sydney in 2013 after obtaining my Bachelor 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 is my therapy and I have completed numerous half-marathons, marathons, and some sprint triathlons.

My interest in pelvic health sparked when I was a young girl watching my mom suffer from gynecological issues which set me on a path as a healthcare practitioner to be able to make a difference and help others. I am passionate about lifelong learning and have completed numerous post-graduate courses in manual therapy, pelvic health, Clinical Pilates, Physio Acupuncture, and IMS/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 to assessing and treating the pelvic floor and how it functions with the rest of the body. More recently, I have taken cranial sacral therapy and visceral therapy courses to better understand our nervous system and connections with the internal organs. 

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 LOVE what I do: helping people to live their fullest lives with joy and good health. Since having kids, 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!

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!

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!
