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.

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.

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!

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,
and relationship and parenting challenges. She has also completed training in perinatal
grief and loss.

Recognizing the courage it can take to come to counselling, Robyn works
to ensure her clients feel heard and understood, and ultimately, empowered.
Born and raised in beautiful North Vancouver, Robyn always feels at home when
exploring trails, surrounded by trees. She loves coffee, tea, chocolate, and getting lost
in books. On the weekends with her family, Robyn will often be at the hockey rink,
exploring a new park, and or having a kitchen dance party.

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!
