Our Team

Hi I’m Ashley! I’m originally from Vancouver Island and I graduated from the Vancouver College of Massage Therapy in 2011. My passion for massage began while travelling internationally and from my previous experience as a spa therapist. As an RMT, I have a wide range of practice interests including scar tissue/post surgery treatment, sport/overuse injuries and pre/post natal treatment.

My certifications include Clinical Pilates, Graston M1 course, and I’m currently pursuing my visceral manipulation certification in hopes to be able to help those with chronic pelvic pain. My passion for treating this population comes from my personal experience with it and I hope to provide pain relief in a safe and supportive space. I have grown as a massage therapist by being exposed to so many different clinical populations including the Vancouver Whitecaps, the Toronto Raptors, Olympic athletes and spa experience. As an advocate for preventative therapy, Ashley empowers her clients through education, encourages a proactive lifestyle and believes that massage is essential to your overall well-being.

Jak graduated from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in 2022. During his time in college, Jak completed a comprehensive case study to measure the effects of myofascial release on a post-surgical gender-affirming top surgery (double mastectomy) patient. He learned a lot throughout the process of this study and was motivated by the positive results. This expanded his interest and focus in this area of massage and with providing a space for post-surgical patients to receive valuable care to aid in their recovery. Jak is also aware of the importance of having a safe space for LGBT2QIA+ folks to access care. This is something that Jak is deeply passionate about, and strives to provide for anyone seeking such a space, wherever you are in your journey.

Jak has a passion for continual learning and deepening their understanding of all things massage (and the very cool things that massage can do!). With that, Jak continued his education around temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJD) with the TMJ Mastery course in an effort to deepen his skillset by offering both intra and extraoral modalities of treatment to further help his patients.

While these are some special areas of focus, Jak also has a wide range of experience treating pre and post-natal clients, tension headaches, chronic pain conditions, nervous system support, digestive support, injury management, and more. Whatever you need help with, Jak has a strong focus on providing care that is non-judgemental, body neutral, supportive, and meeting clients where they’re at for a collaborative approach to health and recovery.

In his own time, Jak enjoys working out, time spent in nature, riding his motorcycle, and feeding and watching the local hummingbirds.

Jak is excited to work with Bump and continue to expand his knowledge around pelvic health and perinatal care, and be an integral part of your health care team.

Hi I’m Ally! I am a Registered Kinesiologist and member of the British Columbia Association of Kinesiologists. Originally from Calgary, my passion for health and fitness began during my years as a competitive athlete. This led me to pursue my undergraduate degree at the University of British Columbia Okanagan, where I played varsity soccer while completing my Bachelor’s in Human Kinetics, specializing in Clinical Exercise Physiology.

I became passionate about pelvic health when I first started working as a Kinesiologist and discovered how many people can benefit from pelvic floor exercise and proper pre and postnatal care. My goal as a practitioner is to connect with my clients and create a supportive environment where you feel heard, valued, and cared for.

Since graduating in 2019, I have gained valuable experience in active rehabilitation, chronic disease management, and clinical exercise prescription, working in both Canada and the United Kingdom. In addition to pelvic floor & pre and postnatal exercise rehab, my other areas of expertise include; neurological rehabilitation, musculoskeletal injuries, pre- and post-operative rehab, ICBC cases, and strength and conditioning training for athletes.

Outside of work, you can find me spending time with family and friends, training for my next Hyrox event, or trying out new cafes and restaurants! 

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!
