Our Team

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 🙂

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.

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!
