Lacey graduated from the University of British Columbia (UBC) in 2014 after receiving her Master of Arts degree in Sociology from Simon Fraser University in 2010 and an Honours BA from UBC in 2007. She has a passion for teaching and helping others which drew her to the physiotherapy profession. Currently, Lacey is the Founder & CEO of Bump Physio & Co a boutique physiotherapy brand in the Lower Mainland. Bump Physio & Co began in March of 2018, and since then has grown quickly, but our mission remains the same; to actively listen to our clients, to empower them in health and to provide exceptional quality pelvic health, pre and postpartum care. In her role, Lacey maintains an active clinical caseload and is involved in teaching and mentoring physiotherapists.

In addition to her role at Bump, Lacey is an active member within the physiotherapy profession though her ongoing membership with PABC, CPA and the Women’s Health Division. She is also a teaching assistant with Pelvic Health Solutions as well as an instructor with the Jackson Clinic Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the physiotherapy profession in Kenya and Ethiopia when they launched their pelvic health program. She is passionate about disseminating knowledge in pelvic health and pre and postnatal care, all through a trauma informed lens.

Outside of work, Lacey is an active Mom of 2 tween boys so most likely you’ll catch her with coffee in hand either at the local ice rink or on the side of the soccer pitch.

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!

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!
