Janice Babalos
ONLINE BOOKING has been moved to our Virtual Counselling page - book here. Please note that you will need to create a separate Jane profile.
Janice holds a Bachelor of Kinesiology and a Bachelor of Education from the University of British Columbia, as well as a Master of Education in Counselling from City University of Seattle. With nearly 15 years of experience working with children, youth, and families, she began her career as a teacher before transitioning into counselling. In addition to her work at Bump, Janice is a secondary school counsellor in the Langley School District, where she helps students and families navigate the social, emotional, and mental health complexities of adolescence.
At Bump, Janice supports individuals and families through the many stages of the parenting journey, from family planning and fertility to pregnancy, postpartum, and the evolving experience of raising children. As a mom of three, she understands that the path to parenthood can be both beautiful and unexpectedly complicated, and she brings both professional and personal insight to her work. She provides a compassionate space for clients to navigate change, strengthen coping skills, cultivate self-compassion, and feel more grounded through seasons of uncertainty and growth. Whether preparing to welcome a child, adjusting to a new family dynamic, or balancing the demands of caregiving and everyday life, Janice helps clients reconnect with their strengths and move forward with greater confidence.
Janice’s approach is warm, collaborative, and down-to-earth. She believes counselling should feel like a genuine conversation rather than a clinical checklist. Drawing from strengths-based, trauma-informed, and family systems perspectives, she helps clients build practical strategies, navigate challenges, and create meaningful change. Her goal is to help people feel understood, empowered, and a little less alone.
When she’s not working, Janice spends much of her time embracing the organized chaos of raising three active kids. Most evenings and weekends are spent at hockey rinks, soccer fields, and baseball diamonds, where years of sports-parent experience have taught her that a quality folding chair is worth every penny. She also coaches volleyball, loves snowboarding, and works hard to preserve what remains of her social life. Janice is fiercely committed to protecting her Duolingo streak, enjoys a good reality TV binge, and firmly believes that chips deserve a place in any well-balanced self-care routine.

Hi, I’m Jessica! I was born and raised in Vancouver and Richmond. I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a Bachelor’s Degree in Kinesiology and am also a certified personal trainer.
Growing up I was involved in various sports, such as basketball and volleyball, which sparked my interest in health and wellness. This led me to pursue a career focused on supporting others in feeling stronger, and more confident in their daily life. I strive to empower each client by creating a personalized plan that unlocks their full potential and helps them continue to live a healthy, and fulfilling life outside of the clinic.
I am especially passionate about women’s health, having personal experience with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Through my own experiences, I understand the power and importance of self-advocacy, and I am committed to creating a safe and inclusive space where all my clients feel heard and supported.
When I’m not working, I love staying active through boxing, dance, and yoga. I am also a huge foodie and love discovering new restaurants and trying out different cuisines with my friends and family!

Elliot Olaybal
(She/Her/Hers)
Hello! I’m Elliot, a graduate of Langara’s Registered Massage Therapy program. I was born and raised here in New West, so I’m more than happy to be working with my community! I take a client-centered approach to treatment, grounded in empathy and collaboration. Together, we’ll work on relieving any immediate pain or tension while also creating a long-term plan to support your overall wellness goals.
I’m particularly interested in women’s health, as well as the treatment of TMJD and headaches. I’ve taken additional introductory training in IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) and am currently completing a 200-hour advanced education program in breast, chest, and oncology massage.
I was drawn to work with the perinatal and women’s health population because I find it incredibly rewarding to help people feel supported, empowered, and cared for through such meaningful life transitions.
My approach is trauma-informed and welcoming of individuals of all identities, expressions, and backgrounds, with respect and inclusivity.
I’m so happy to be part of the Bump team and am excited to meet you!

Miral Patel
Miral earned her Masters in Physical Therapy degree from Queen’s University in 2012 after completing her undergrad in Health Sciences at the University of Toronto. She discovered her passion for pelvic health early in her career, recognizing a significant gap in care for individuals during pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.
Over the past ten years, Miral has built a deeply rewarding practice supporting clients through pelvic pain, incontinence, pregnancy-related concerns, and postpartum core and pelvic floor rehabilitation. Miral has pursued extensive advanced training in pelvic health and continues to remain up to date on current research to support her clinical practice.
A significant part of Miral’s passion for pelvic health comes from her own lived experience. Having navigated two very different births, one unmedicated vaginal delivery and one planned cesarean section, she understands firsthand the physical and emotional challenges her clients may face.
In her clinical work, Miral combines education, manual therapy, and targeted therapeutic exercise to help clients feel informed and supported at every stage of care. Her goal is to create a safe, welcoming environment where individuals feel heard, understood, and encouraged to take an active role in their health.
Outside of the clinic, Miral is a busy mom of two young children, ages 3 and 6. She loves traveling, discovering great food, and enjoying a good glass of wine.

Katya Shlyakhova
Hi, I’m Katya! I completed my Registered Massage Therapy training at Langara College and am thrilled to be joining the team at Bump Physio & Co.
My journey into massage therapy grew out of my years in the health and wellness industry where I discovered how profoundly movement and mindful touch can help people reconnect with their bodies, heal from injury, build strength, and gain confidence.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Health Science and Kinesiology from Simon Fraser University and am a certified Pilates instructor. My background in rhythmic gymnastics and competitive cheerleading instilled in me a deep appreciation for body awareness, alignment, and balance. I believe that healing happens when we feel safe and understood, and I strive to help my patients build trust in their bodies through compassionate, individualized care. My goal as a massage therapist is to create a space where clients feel comfortable, cared for, and empowered in their healing process.
Outside the clinic, you can usually find me teaching Pilates, learning something new, painting, hiking, or spending time with my family. I’m so happy to be part of the amazing Bump community and to continue learning from a team that values compassionate, equitable care.
I speak English and Russian and would love to connect with you in either language.

Myah Sisson
(She/her)
Hi, I’m Myah!
I was born and raised in Calgary, Alberta, and completed my Master of Physical Therapy at the University of British Columbia. I feel incredibly grateful to work in a field as meaningful as pelvic health, supporting individuals through concerns that are often sensitive, overlooked, and deeply impactful to quality of life.
My path into pelvic health grew from a lifelong love of movement and a fascination with how the body adapts, strengthens, and heals. As a former national-level gymnast and now a competitive cheerleader, I have always been drawn to understanding resilience and the mind-body connection. During my practicum at BC Women’s Hospital, I collaborated with antepartum and postpartum clients and had the opportunity to shadow in the Maternal Pelvic Health and Pelvic Pain and Endometriosis Clinics. These experiences reinforced my passion for supporting pregnancy and postpartum recovery, sexual pain, return-to-sport, and complex pelvic floor conditions. In my practice, I strive to bring warmth, empathy, and clear communication to every session, getting to know each individuals’ goals and story so we can build treatment plans that feel personal, effective, and empowering.
Continuing to grow as a clinician is important to me, and I am dedicated to ongoing professional development. I have completed Pelvic Health Level 1 and plan to complete Level 2 by the end of 2026 as part of my commitment to providing thoughtful, patient-centered care.
Outside the clinic, you can find me at cheer practice, lifting weights, trying new workout classes, diving into a good book, exploring new cities, or discovering the best gluten-free eats as a celiac foodie.

Evita Teng
Hi everyone, I’m Evita! I was born and raised in Richmond, British Columbia and I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a Master’s Degree in Physical Therapy and a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology.
I began dancing at the age of three, and it quickly became one of my greatest passions. Dance taught me self-discipline, resilience, and a strong work ethic, while also allowing me to connect deeply with my Chinese culture through the artistry of Chinese dance. I’ve been fortunate to share this passion with the community, performing everywhere from the annual Chinatown Parade to Disneyland in Los Angeles and New York City.
My experiences as a dancer, including navigating my own injuries, are what inspired me to pursue physiotherapy. Through dance, I became especially aware of how integral pelvic health, core control, and whole-body coordination are to performance, injury prevention, and overall well-being. These insights sparked my interest in pelvic health physiotherapy and continue to shape how I approach movement and rehabilitation.
I place a strong emphasis on helping my patients better understand their bodies and empowering them to move in ways that feel safe, confident, and meaningful to them. As a practitioner, I am passionate about advocating for pelvic health services for pre- and post-partum individuals and working to reduce the stigma surrounding pelvic health concerns. There is no judgment here. Only open ears, open conversations, and a supportive environment.
I have completed my Level 1 and 2 Pelvic Health training courses, and the Cesarean Birth & Rehabilitation course through Pelvic Health Solutions and am eager to continue advancing my education by pursuing certifications in dry needling and clinical Pilates.
Outside of the clinic, you can find me anxiously watching Canucks games, running around with my Yorkie, Ollie, or trying out a new workout class.
I can’t wait to meet you all, and I hope you love it here at Bump just as much as I do!
