Hello, I’m Pav! I completed my Bachelor of Kinesiology at Simon Fraser University before moving to Australia to complete my Master of Physical Therapy at the University of Sydney. During my time in Australia, I gained experience working in a variety of areas such as hospitals, rehabilitation centers and private clinics where I worked alongside patients with musculoskeletal, neurological and cardiorespiratory conditions.

I moved back to Canada in 2021 and joined the Bump Team as a Client Experience Coordinator whilst preparing for my physiotherapy registration exam. It was during this time with Bump that I found my interest in pelvic floor physiotherapy and a desire to educate women on their health and support them in their return to normal activities whilst improving their overall quality of life.

I truly believe every individual is unique in their own way and so are their goals, which is why I like to structure each patient’s course of treatment around their desired goals. My treatment approach is focused around providing education and exercise-based therapy and allowing clients to be active participants in their course of care. Making sure my patients feel heard and comfortable is of utmost importance to me.

Outside of the clinic you can find me spending time with my dog, family/friends, keeping up with Sports TV or catching sunsets with a cup of coffee!

Super excited to be a part of BUMP in this new role!

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!
