get confusing with who we should listen to. Katie is a Registered Dietitian who is passionate about
empowering her patients to learn how to fuel their unique body and its needs. Diagnosed with Celiac
disease at the age of 16, cooking and experimenting with food became a passion. She learned how to
create simple, nutritious meals and loves teaching others how food can help them feel their best.
Ensuring our meals stay simple yet delicious is one of Katie’s favorite niches to focus on.
Katie loves working with a wide range of nutrition concerns. With her background as a National level
gymnast, college level volleyball player, and qualified Team Canada Triathlete member, Katie specializes
in sports nutrition and teaching patients how to properly fuel their training. From her own journey
following her Celiac diagnosis, Katie has great experience working through GI challenges including
nutrition around Celiac disease, food intolerances, and bowel concerns. She has 5 years experience in
outpatient counselling where she supported patients in improving their relationship with food, worked
with women going through peri- and post menopause and helped individuals navigate a wide range of
other chronic health conditions. Her approach is to provide the most individual and personalized plan to
support each patient’s unique health needs, lifestyle, and goals. Katie is here to help you balance all of
your nutrition goals while making sure to save room for a few slices of chocolate cake.

Hi there, I’m Cindy!
I am an orthopedic and pelvic floor physiotherapist.
I grew up on the west coast of Ireland playing lots of sports from a young age,
particularly soccer, and was introduced to physiotherapy pretty early for my own
injuries. I was fascinated by the rehab process and intrigued by the body’s ability
to heal, especially the role that physiotherapy played in facilitating this process.
After receiving my BSc. in Health Science and Physiology, I went on to study
Physiotherapy at Trinity in Dublin. I had lots of exciting roles early on in my
career; treating sports injuries pitch side and representing the Irish Society of
Chartered Physiotherapists at the European surfing championships in 2011. Fast-
forward to 2013 - I traded my surfboard for a snowboard and moved to Alberta!
My approach to treatment is simple. It always centres around the patient in front of me and their lifestyle, and will involve movement of some sort which will be the driving force for how my skillset can help them recover. I pride myself on establishing great therapeutic relationships with my patients. It’s important for you to trust the person coaching your recovery!
Pain is complex and recovery is rarely linear. For this reason, I place a huge emphasis on pain education so that my patients understand the “why” surrounding their symptoms. This helps to set realistic expectations and removes some of the unnecessary stress attached to the pain experience.
In my time away from work you can find me chasing my young family, trying to squeeze in a workout, or planning my next travel adventure.
I look forward to seeing you soon at M1 Summerside!

Hello!
My name is Saša (Sasha) and my passion for biomechanics began as a coach for youth sports. I
completed my Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology at Simon Fraser University (2019) and
focused on applying my knowledge to help patients reach their strength and mobility goals while
reducing risk of injury. During this time, I worked as a personal trainer with a wide variety of
patients, ranging from the untrained adult to the elite athlete, as well as teaching physical literacy
to kids.
Having realized how important movement and mechanics are to overall function and health, I
pursued and completed the Doctor of Chiropractic and Master of Science in Sports Medicine
programs at the University of Western States (2024).
My goal is to educate patients throughout their treatment so that they feel confident and
empowered, gaining control over their bodies and improving their day-to-day lives. Every person
is unique, and that is why I believe in approaching every treatment from multiple angles,
collaborating with other professionals and working with the patient to develop an individualized
treatment plan.
If we want to provide care for others, I believe we must also take care of ourselves! During my
downtime I recharge by watching sports, golfing, walking my dog, or enjoying some R&R by
playing video games or sweating in the sauna.

Hey there, I’m Jason! My goal as your Physical Therapist is to get you back doing what you love to do as soon as possible. I completed all my training at the University of Alberta, where I completed a PhD (Neuroscience), MSc in Physical Therapy, and a BSc in Human Physiology. I have been working in private practice in the Edmonton area for 10+ years and have taken advanced training in the following:
Functional Dry Needling
Functional Range Conditioning (FRC)
Active Life Rx Immersion Certification
Spinal manipulation (SWODAEM Institute)
Selective Functional Movement Assessments (SFMA)
Running Biomechanics and Prevention of Running Injuries
Whether you want to compete in an ultra-marathon or get back to playing with your grandkids, I will do whatever I can to get you there. My treatment style is primarily using corrective exercises to address the underlying musculature imbalances that are causing pain/ injury. In addition, I use a combination dry needling and manual therapy (joint manipulation and soft tissue work) as needed to improve mobility or decrease pain. Ultimately my goal is to allow you to continue to be active by providing you the tools to recovery quickly and avoid further injury.

Hi, I am Holly!
I completed my Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) and my Master’s of Science in Physical Therapy (MScPT) at the University of Alberta. My drive to help others achieve their goals and my fascination with the human body led me to a rewarding career as a physical therapist. To sum it up – I have a passion for people! I was born and raised in the Edmonton area and take great joy in giving back to our community through volunteer work and participation in local events.
Providing exceptional quality care is my priority because I believe every individual deserves the opportunity to have their story heard and to achieve holistic well-being. I look forward to helping my patients reclaim the activities they cherish most. My therapeutic approach places the patient at the center of shaping their rehabilitation plan, recognizing that your understanding of your own body is paramount. I use a blend of therapeutic exercises, manual therapy, and comprehensive education to make the journey towards your goals both effective and engaging. I am passionate about working with musculoskeletal conditions, sports injuries, and women’s pelvic health.

As a graduate of MH Vicars 2200-hour, 2-year, Registered Massage Therapist program, I feel as though I have found my calling. I’ve always enjoyed working with people and helping them find a solution to what ails them. Massage has given me the skills and knowledge to help; even more so now.
I strive to incorporate relaxation into every treatment, even the deepest, most therapeutic treatments are most effective when the tissues are relaxed. I know first hand how frustrating an injury can be, especially when it takes you away from what you love to do. By creating an individualized treatment plan for each client, we can work towards alleviating your discomfort.
Currently I offer several types of therapeutic massage, such as relaxation, deep tissue, pre/post-natal, joint mobilization, trigger point release, lymphatic drainage, TMJ and dynamic cupping. Continuing education is incredibly important to my practice and learning new techniques to incorporate into treatments, as well as staying current with industry standards.
Massage is beneficial for both your physical and mental health. Even people who are focused on the physical benefits say they feel less stressed after receiving a massage. By increasing circulation, decreasing muscle soreness and joint stiffness, improving sleep quality, strengthening the immune response, elevating energy and decreasing anxiety; massage has something to offer everyone.
