The Team

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 adults and I'm no longer needed as "mom taxi," I enjoy walking, Nordic Pole 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 currently on maternity leave. 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 and now a baby, 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 continue my career here at Peak and I can’t wait to meet you!

(Jessi is going to be on mat. leave after August 21. )

Hi, I’m Lee!

I was born and raised in Dubai, U.A.E; Completed my Bachelor and Masters degree in Physical Therapy from India; Lived in London, England for nearly 4 years; Moved to Toronto, Canada, where I joined the Physical Therapy Bridging Program at the University of Toronto; Finally, moved to Lethbridge, in 2016, to be closer to my family.

In my spare time, I enjoy art/painting, music, travelling, visiting historical sites and learning about local cultures and traditions. Above all, dancing- Yes, dancing is my greatest passion, ever since I was a child- be it classical to contemporary or Bollywood to ballroom.

As I continue my journey working at Peak, as a Phyical Therapist, I love being able to make a difference in people’s lives, in our community. I have seen first-hand the remarkable impact physical therapy can have on a person’s life. To me, helping clients become stronger means empowering them with the knowledge and confidence to take control of their injury or disease and ultimately their life.

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!
