Our Team

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 🙂

Mama to two adorable kids and wife to an ultra-patient IT consultant :blush: I have over 18 years of clinical experience in Sports and orthopaedic physiotherapy and more recently I’ve become certified in Clinical Pilates and in Pelvic Health.

My interest in Pelvic Health started in my 1st pregnancy in 2015. Having experienced some firsthand challenges pre and post-pregnancy, I explored and learned ways to make my pregnancy journey meaningful and successful. Education has been a powerful tool for me, both in preparation for pregnancy, in pregnancy and in my postpartum recovery.

It is my passion to educate and empower clients. It allows your recovery to be less limited by unfounded fears (both in thought and movement!) and to focus on the gains (outcomes?) and goals of the visit. I am an advocate for human movement and mechanics! Both in my day-to-day life and clinical practice, I am always guided with the belief that everyone has a voice or journey to be shared and heard.

I value lifelong learning, and my additional course work includes: Calibrate Pilates (Reformer and Mat), Pelvic Health Level 1, Level 2 Orthopedic Levels in Manual Therapy, ROST Therapy training for Sacro-Iliac Pain, Power Over Prolapse course, K-Taping Pro Course.

Personally, I value faith, family and integrity. I enjoy “park hopping” with my kids, unplanned picnics with the family, fabulous farmer’s market finds and discovering great hole in the wall restaurants or small cafes! I look forward to meeting you!

Hi, I’m Gurmeen! I was born and raised in Calgary a.k.a Cowtown. Although I will forever be a Flames fan, I am super stoked about moving to B.C and being a part of the Bump Family! I graduated from the University of Calgary with a Bachelor of Kinesiology and from the University of Alberta with a Master of Science in Physical Therapy. I am also a certified yoga teacher!  

Growing up I wanted to be a part of a profession that focused on supporting individuals with the tools they needed to improve their health. As a stress reliever from school, I began regularly practicing yoga, barre, and pilates, where I was introduced to the pelvic floor and core. During physio school, I learned more about pelvic floor physiotherapy and was amazed about the connection between our pelvic floor and physical activity/movement! Moreover, I realized how real pelvic health concerns are and how important it is to create actual change versus band-aid solutions. Working together with my clients, I hope to decrease the stigma around pelvic health and empower/support others on their healing journeys. Some of my treatment approaches include providing clients with education, self-management strategies, and personalized exercise programs. 

In my free time, I love doing yoga, trying new wineries/breweries with my husband, and hanging out with friends and family. As I have newly moved to BC this summer, I’m excited to go on hikes and try new restaurants around the city. 

I am so proud to be a part of this community and cannot wait to help my clients get back to what they love to do!

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.

Pamela graduated in 2012 from the Vancouver College of Massage Therapy and has continued to immerse herself in education ever since. She is experienced in a broad spectrum of conditions, with focus to abdominal/pelvic girdle pain, female pelvis visceral manipulation, scar tissue/post surgical treatment, mastectomy treatment, core strengthening and pre/post natal care.  She is a firm believer that movement is the foundation to both preventing and managing pain and will integrate active rehab into your treatment plan in a way that feels manageable for your lifestyle. Her goal is to provide a safe and non-judgmental treatment space for her clients through approaching her practice with compassion and integrity.

Through experiencing her own pre and post-natal journey, Pamela has developed a deep passion for women’s healthcare. She is committed to empowering and supporting her clients through all seasons of life and changes that their bodies may go through.

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!
