Jasper Physio & Health

Danielle completed her Honours Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology in 2013 at the University of Western Ontario. During her studies she worked as a student trainer for the women’s varsity volleyball team and volunteered at the Fowler Kennedy Sport Medicine Clinic on campus. After graduating Danielle moved to Alberta and started working as a Kinesiologist at Bowden Physiotherapy and Gym. She then transitioned into working as a Physiotherapy Assistant for Alberta Health Services in hospital, home care and assisted living settings. Danielle has experience working with clients of all ages and ability levels and is excited to be applying her knowledge and skills at Jasper Physiotherapy. When Danielle isn’t working, she spends as much time as possible in the outdoors running, hiking, paddling, and skiing.

Ivanna is a licensed physiotherapist and a graduate of the Master of Science in Physical Therapy program from the University of Alberta. Ivanna believes in the importance of taking the time to help you understand your injury, learn body awareness, and build confidence in moving. She is passionate about empowering you to overcome your injury through education and exercise.
As a BCRPA certified fitness instructor who has taught yoga, aquafit, TRX, senior fitness, and bootcamp, as well as having formerly worked as a kindergarten to grade 12 teacher, Ivanna has experience teaching fitness to all ages and learning styles. Most recently, Ivanna has worked as an acute care physiotherapist with Alberta Health Services.
As a child, Ivanna was afraid of sports and always had a hard time in PE class, and it was only during her time at university that she discovered her love for fitness and the outdoors. She came to realize that with the right instruction everyone, including her, has the potential to achieve more than they might believe possible. Ivanna’s background provides a unique perspective that enables her to provide a non-judgmental approach to physical therapy, and she will meet you wherever you are — whether you are a competitive athlete, an outdoors adventurer, or completely new to exercise.
Nowadays, in her free time, Ivanna loves trail running, backcountry camping, hiking, skiing, and of course, baking pies and sourdough for her friends and family.

I graduated from the Physical Therapy program at the University of Alberta, after earning a bachelor’s degree in Physical Education with a concentration in Physical Activity and Sport Performance. After graduation, I have continued my education through courses and experience involving running injuries, occupational rehabilitation, vestibular treatment, concussion management, and dry needling. I believe in empowering people through education and active recovery with the goal of returning people to their daily activities, work, or sport as quickly as possible.

During my free time, you’ll find me out hiking, skiing, running, and biking. Some of you may recognize me as I was lucky enough to grow up in Jasper – I am very excited to again be a part of such a vibrant and caring outdoor community!
