ASHLEY JEON
Physiotherapist
I am a bilingual Registered Physiotherapist. I grew up in Ottawa, Ontario in an active family where i was exposed at a young age to the benefits of living a healthy and happy lifestyle. I engaged in various recreational sports and creative activities with a focus and passion for dance. I pursued a Master of Science in Physical Therapy at Queen’s University, in Kingston Ontario. since then, I have enjoyed engaging in further education where I completed Level 1 certification under the Orthopedic division of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association, Women's pelvic floor course: The physical therapy approach to anyone experiencing Urinary Incontinence, Intramuscular stimulation (IMS) training, TMJ training, and other training/mentorship related to neurological conditions. I have gained experience working with patients of all ages and in various settings. These opportunities have further confirmed my love for working one-on-one with clients and found a strong interest in patients with neurological conditions and taking a teamwork approach with their supporting team (family, friends, healthcare team). This is one of the reasons that I have landed at Holistic Neuro Physiotherapy. Grounded in client-centered goals, I use education, hands-on techniques, exercise-programs, and other evidence-based treatments to take a collaborative and active approach to rehabilitation. By enabling my patients with the tools and confidence to be active participants in their recovery, I believe in the importance of taking a holistic person-centered, considering both the mind and the body. In my spare time, I love spending time with friends and family, travelling, meeting new people, cooking and eating delicious food, finding news skills and challenges, and spending time by the water and in the mountains.
KATHRYN HILL
Occupational Therapist
I am a registered Occupational Therapist with over 30 years of clinical experience. I qualified with a Diploma in Occupational Therapy in the UK and worked in a variety of NHS settings for 20 years before moving to Vancouver in 2010. Shortly after emigrating I gained my certificate to practice Occupational Therapy in Canada and have worked in the hospital, rehabilitation units, residential care, community, and workplace settings. I am a hard-working, compassionate, and reflective practitioner with a passion for working with individuals of all ages with a wide range of acute, chronic and palliative conditions. I have a particular interest in working with older adults and with people who have neurological conditions and physical challenges. My holistic approach begins with identifying an individuals' goals and then jointly creating a client-centred treatment plan. Intervention may involve hands on rehabilitation, education, modifying the approach to activities, introducing equipment, or modifying the environment. The goal of all intervention is to improve function and promote independence. I have completed post graduate training in a variety of subjects including Normal movement in the treatment of Hemiplegia, Brain Injury rehabilitation, Cognitive assessment, rehabilitation for Spinal Cord injury. Also, postural instability and falls prevention, fatigue management, Chronic pain, seating and positioning, Ergonomics and Home Modifications. I'm excited to be a member of the dynamic and supportive team at Holistic Neuro Physiotherapy and look forward to working with you. When I'm not working I'm happiest outdoors. I love to ski, hike, mountain bike and am a member of a Dragon boating team. I am a keen cook who likes entertaining friends and family.
MARTYNA KAMELA
Occupational Therapist
I am an Occupational Therapist who graduated in 2018, with a Master’s of Science in Occupational Therapy (MScOT) from Queen’s University. I have been working in both hospital and community-based settings with a specific focus and interest on the treatment of neurological conditions. I have experience working with clients with Acquired Brain Injuries (Strokes), Traumatic Brain Injuries, Concussions, Parkinson’s Disease and Multiple Sclerosis. I believe in the importance of applying a holistic approach to treatment which covers the physical, cognitive, psycho-emotional and spiritual components of each person. By gaining insight into these components, I can create a client-centred treatment plan that is based on return to function using concepts of remediation, adaptation and environmental modifications. I have training and experience in upper extremity treatment, cognitive assessment and rehabilitation, fatigue management, wheelchair seating assessment and equipment prescription to support functional goals. I have completed courses in Neurodevelopmental Treatment (NDT), Upper Extremity Treatment and Management post ABI, motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Rehabilitation, Foundations in Brain Injury Rehabilitation and Chronic Pain Management. Outside of work I enjoy travelling, engrossing myself in the French culture, rock climbing and spending time with friends and family. Treatment can be offered in English, Polish (and hopefully soon French!)
