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.

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!

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.

Hi! My name is Rachel. I graduated from UBC with my Master’s in Physical Therapy and from UBC Okanagan with a Bachelor’s in Human Kinetics! I grew up in Surrey, BC and have always appreciated the proximity to nature we are allowed here. I’m a lover of running, horse-back riding, reading and hiking! 

Women’s health is a passion dear to my heart. I began my journey as a personal trainer and continued to pursue degrees that added to my toolbox to aid the people around me. As an athlete and woman, providing care that encourages movement while also creating a safe space is something that is at the core of my practice. I am interested in pre and postpartum care, pelvic health, running/sports, and helping women move in a way that works for them. 

Outside of the clinic, you will likely find me running on local trails, curled up with a coffee and reading a good book (I will bring in my Mockingjay necklace from the Hunger Games if you ask), or planning my next mountain get-away. I can’t wait to meet 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!
