When I moved to Lethbridge in 1988, I originally intended to stay for only one year. It’s been a long year! Although I might miss the beauty of the Maritimes and the lakes of Manitoba, the varied landscapes around Southern Alberta more than make up for that.

Now that both my kids are driving and I'm no longer needed as "mom taxi," I enjoy walking, hiking, camping and reading. I also enjoy scrapbooking, but I have to admit, I've not done much in awhile!

Since Peak started more than 25 years ago, I have always used the best treatment options for my clients including manual therapy, acupuncture, kinesiotaping techniques, and collaborating with the other therapists to help achieve the best possible outcomes. In 2014, I received my Certification in Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy from the McKenzie Institute of Canada and I can't be more happy with the results my patients get from this approach. 

What keeps me motivated?  Hearing “thank you” from happy clients!  I also enjoy helping injured workers return to their job, dancers back to rehearsals or judoka back to the tatami.

I have been involved with the sport of speed skating most of my life. Currently, I am the Head Coach of the Lethbridge Speed Skating Association. Recently, I took up mountain biking and compete in endurance events throughout the province.

Outside of my skating life, I have a wife and four children.  My wife is a teacher and my kids are involved in music and sports. 

I am a fellow of the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Physical Therapist (FCAMPT) and certified in Medical Acupuncture (CAFCI).  I enjoy treating clients who are dealing with acute or chronic pain (sprains, strains, and automobile accidents). I like to incorporate humour into my treatments and help clients understand the nature of their injury.  

Hi, I’m Jessi and I’m new! I was born and raised in southern Alberta. I started my degree in exercise science at Medicine Hat College where I dabbled in ACAC women’s volleyball. From there, I moved to Lethbridge to finish my degree at the U of L. I then moved up north to complete my MScPT at U of A.

Being from a small town in southern Alberta, there wasn’t a ton to do except “sport”. I played volleyball, slo-pitch, basketball, hockey, badminton, and track and field. I still enjoy playing recreational slo-pitch throughout the summer and continue to stay as active as I can whether it be playing beach volleyball, going to the gym or hitting up a court to play some sports.

I enjoy maintaining an active lifestyle and am known to be a bit of an animal-person. Our house is chaotic with four animals but I wouldn’t mind adding another dog or two to our fur-family!

I am passionate about educating clients. Knowledge is power and understanding your injury is the first step in the rehabilitation process.

I am so excited to start my career as a new graduate PT here at Peak and I can’t wait to meet you!

Hi, I’m Michelle!  Born and raised in Lethbridge, I attended the University of Lethbridge and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree (Exercise Science) in 2011.  Shortly after, I started working at Peak, as a Kinesiologist, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time assisting the physiotherapists and working individually with clients on their exercise programs.  I particularly like helping injured workers get back to their job and motivating people to persevere through their rehabilitation in order to achieve their fitness and lifestyle goals.  It is so rewarding to see someone master their exercise program and re-discover a love of physical activity!

In my spare time, I enjoy reading, hiking, golfing, swimming, and travelling.  During my travels, I have discovered a passion for water activities, including snorkelling, paddle boarding, and kayaking.  On my travel bucket list is to one day snorkel the Great Barrier Reef and volunteer at a school/orphanage in Africa!

I look forward to helping you out in the gym with your personal exercise program and getting you back into “peak” shape!

Hey, I'm Gui! I am from Brazil, where I got my bachelors of Science degree in Physical Education. Moved to Canada in 2010, and after living 8 months in Vancouver, I picked University of Lethbridge to get my second Bachelors of Science degree in Kinesiology. The great thing about this, is that I learned to understand the human body functionality through a different perspective. Having to study, work, I also played soccer for the Pronghorns, it was an amazing and joyful experience, but really really mentally and physically exhausting. During my time at UofL I met my, now, wife, who is also from Brazil (funny eh!?). I have great respect for physiotherapists, because of their knowledge and understanding of the body, it's amazing to see how everything is connected.

I am extremely passionate about exercise, food, life and getting connecting with people. You will also notice that I love my family and friends, and will value friendship above other things.
