A Little About Us

Despite being a Maple Leaf fan, we like Ross. And, we think he is pretty funny. He is very passionate about helping people recover from all types of injury. With years of experience in training, coaching and mentoring athletes, he holds not only a degree in physiotherapy but also one in kinesiology. He is also a jack of all sports himself and is the guy to turn to for recovering from injury with his strong manual therapy skills. Other passions? Food. Especially cookies and stir-fries…

Jasmine has come to Easthill with her Masters in physiotherapy from UBC where she was a part of the UBC-North cohort in Prince George. Although she was born and raised in northern BC, somehow she has never adapted to the cold! Jasmine won us over with her sparkling personality, bright smile and not to mention her top notch skills as a physiotherapist. She has a genuine passion for helping patients overcome injuries and get back to doing the things that they love — whether that’s playing with the grandkids or shredding down the mountain. Jasmine is very excited to call Vernon “home” accompanied by her cheeky golden retriever, Gus. This is not just because she’ll be warmer, but also because she loves exploring and playing in the mountains on her bike or snowboard.

This girl is smart. Ali has an almost obsessive attention to detail, order and cleanliness. She keeps our clinic running like a well-oiled machine. Any questions or concerns? Ali will do anything in her power to track down an answer or a solution for you!

Sue is without a doubt the perfectionist of our front desk team and an awesome administrative assistant. She likes efficiency, order and getting her work done now! Need anything? She’s on it. We think Sue is great because she is a self-proclaimed poor joke teller (we still laugh), loves a good joke, is an avid kayaker, a lover of Labrador retrievers, and a good glass of wine. Her motto? If there is a job to do, let’s get it done!

Hanna is always on the go – she loves to travel! Adventure calls her name as she enjoys skiing, paddle boarding and cooking. She is always in an upbeat mood, and her cheeriness is contagious!

Iris is one classy gal.  She takes pride in her high cheekbones and is a self-proclaimed fashionista.  She’s a bit of a gossip, though, and loves to know everyone’s business. You’ll see her welcoming in our clients in an array of outfits depending upon her mood.  She also loves to teach; she often assists our physiotherapists in anatomy lessons for our clients.  Don’t ask her about Stanley; she likes to keep her personal life private at work, even though WE all know they have a mutual attraction…..

Stan’s a quiet guy with a heck of a lot of charisma. What we love about Stan is his forte for customer service, and you’ll often find him in the hallway waiting to welcome our clients in. You can also find him booking himself an appointment for treatment for his own injuries or hamming it up in front of the camera for our social media posts. He thinks he is quite photogenic. He plays a mean game of golf and likes to stay in shape by cutting the lawn or a quick spin on the exercise bike.
