Janelle completed her Bachelor of Science in Integrative Physiology at Simon Fraser University in 2008. Prior to becoming a Physiotherapist, she worked as a Teaching Assistant in the secondary school system and coached track, volleyball, and soccer.

In 2014, Janelle completed her Masters of Physical Therapy at the University of British Columbia and started her career in public practice where she developed extensive experience in post-surgical rehabilitation, orthopedics, arthritis, geriatric and general surgery. More recently, Janelle chooses to work both in public and private practice, where her focus is on active rehabilitation by creating and guiding individual and group exercise programs.

As a new mom, Janelle has developed an interest in women’s health following her own experiences returning to exercise postpartum. Her recent coursework includes Diane Lee’s “The Abdominal Wall after pregnancy and Diastasis Rectus Abdominus” and is currently completing her training in Rehabilitation Mat & Reformer Pilates through STOTT Pilates.

Janelle firmly believes Pilates helps to improve body awareness, flexibility, and strength. She uses a combination of Pilates principles, manual therapy, soft tissue work, traditional exercises, and education to help restore optimal levels of functioning and to empower her clients in their daily lives.

On her days off, you may find Janelle hiking, kayaking, playing soccer, and spending time with family and friends. She loves to listen to reggae, dance, and paint with acrylics.

I graduated from the University of Toronto with a Masters of Science in Physiotherapy. Previous to that, I was in Victoria completing my undergraduate degree in Kinesiology.

My interest in sports started when I was young and carried on into my adult life. I was introduced to physiotherapy while dealing with injuries myself and quickly realized the major impact that pain has on us – in both a physical and emotional capacity. I recognized the value in a career that can help people work through these challenges, which is how my journey to become a physiotherapist began!

I have been fortunate to work with a wide variety of patients over the years, including working with professional sports teams, and have taken several continuing education courses in manual therapy and dry needling. My interest in pelvic floor physiotherapy started after taking courses and realizing how impactful this type of treatment can be for so many women. I love that pelvic floor physiotherapy provides a safe space for women to address their concerns and can often greatly improve their quality of life. I have found that incorporating pelvic floor treatment into my practice has enhanced my general physiotherapy skills and treat people even more holistically!

I am extremely enthusiastic about sharing my passion for health and wellness with all my patients and love to help people reach their health goals. In my free time you can find me exploring trails with my dog or trying a new brewery around town.

I’m so happy to be part of this fantastic team!

My name is Mette, I was born and raised in Denmark, but moved to Vancouver in 2016 with my husband and kids. My husband received an amazing job offer and we saw the opportunity to move abroad, take a chance on an adventure and gain a new perspective to our daily lives.

I grew up in the countryside of Denmark. I love being surrounded by nature and staying active through soccer and gymnastics. Through sport, I found an interest in the body and movement, and the importance of physical and mental health. I knew this was something I wanted to pursue.

Graduating from University College Lillebaelt, Odense, Denmark in 2009 with a Bachelor’s degree in Physiotherapy. I have since worked primarily at orthopedic clinics and as a Pilates teacher. My passion is to involve my clients in their own care and promote movement. Movement has a fundamental influence on a person’s physical and mental well-being, which I want to encourage in a way that makes sense for each person.

I have taken several courses through my career with special interest in shoulder, fysioflow (myofascial training), Pilates, McKenzie (lumbar A), and have now completed Pelvic Health Solutions level 1 and 2. Pelvic floor has always had my interest because of its close connection with Pilates, but I wanted more clinical and personal experience going into this intimate area. Now having given birth 3 times and all were very different experiences, I appreciate all the knowledge and research that is going into pelvic health. I am very excited to be a part of this very knowledgeable team and help you improve your pelvic health.

In my spare time, you will see me with my sons at their various activities with a coffee in hand or outside enjoying the beautiful nature in BC.

Looking forward to meeting you!

I was born and raised in the beautiful province of British Columbia, where I completed both my Bachelors of Kinesiology and Master of Physical Therapy at the University of British Columbia. Growing up, I always knew I wanted to get into a profession that allowed me to help others. That, along with my passion for sports steered me in the direction of becoming a physiotherapist.

Why pelvic floor physiotherapy?

Once I began my Masters program, I developed an interest in pelvic floor physiotherapy as I discovered loved ones around me were silently living with pelvic floor dysfunctions and pain. I saw how issues like incontinence, constipation, prolapse, poor scar mobility, dyspareunia, impacted not only their physical health but also their, mental, social, and emotional well-being. This allowed me to understand and appreciate the integral role pelvic health plays in our daily function and overall quality of life. I knew right then, I wanted to be part of the change, erasing the stigma and normalizing conversations around pelvic health that is not openly discussed.

I strongly believe in taking the time to build strong therapeutic connections with my clients in a space where they feel seen, safe, and supported with whatever they may be experiencing. My goal is to empower all my clients, no matter what stage of life, to feel confident in their bodies, comfortable talking about their bodies and capable in what their bodies can do. My approach is to provide clients with a foundation of knowledge, exercises, manual therapy, and self-management strategies, to help achieve any goal they set out for themselves, pre- or post-natal, no matter how big or small!

Pelvic Health Certifications:

• Pelvic Health Solutions Level 1
• Pelvic Health Solutions Level 2

When not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, travelling, watching and playing sports. You can find me playing hockey or at the driving range working on my golf game.

I am excited to be a part of this amazing team of women at BUMP and I look forward to supporting you along your journey!

I am excited to bring a new lens to pelvic floor rehab to the Bump Physio Community.

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.

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!
