Nurturance Health Team
Jacqui Meyers (she/her)
MScPT, BSc
Hi! My name is Jacqui Meyers, and I am a pelvic health physiotherapist, as well as the newest member to the Nurturance team. I graduated with distinction from the University of Alberta Physiotherapy program in 2017, and have been working in the world of pelvic wellness since then. It has always been my first passion in the world of rehabilitation medicine.
It has been a wild journey over the last (almost) decade of my career as I moved from student to physiotherapist to mother of twins- what a change of hats! The way my practice has evolved over the past 8 years, as well as my personal lived experience of the challenges of having a female body, combine to make an empathetic, clinical and evidence based, dynamic solution-focused practice that I am so excited to share with you.
I don’t believe that one solution is the best fit for everyone- everyone has unique strengths and challenges that we bring to our table. I like to tailor multi-factorial treatment plans with my patients to create the best fit for the management of each person’s challenges. I have extensive experience in areas of both urogynecology and pelvic pain, including: pelvic organ prolapse, urinary and fecal incontinence, dyspareunia (pain with intercourse), vaginismus (pain with insertion), post-partum concerns such as perineal trauma, and pre- and post-operative pelvic rehabilitation. I have a special interest in gender-affirming care- another hat I wear in my pelvic wellness role, and I am both honoured and humbled to work with these folks.
When I am not pelvic wellness-ing, you will likely find me chasing after my three year old twins, my partner-in-crime/baby-daddy/love-of-my-life, or Chuck Norris, my pup. I love live music, cooking, and traveling, and work hard to carve out time to board my planes on time.
I am so excited to meet you!
Mandy Rempfer-Kuncio (she/her)
MScPT, BSc (hons), CAFCI, CD(DONA)
My name is Mandy and I am passionate about the pelvis! I believe the pelvis serves as the foundation for many fabulous things like pregnancy, birth and babies (including 3 of my own). It’s our centre of creation. The passion I have for the pelvis led me to become a pelvic health physiotherapist, as well as a birth doula.
In addition to my professional training, I am also motivated by experiences in my own body. Although its taken me some time to look back on it as a positive, I’ve faced many of my own pelvic health trials… incontinence, prolapse, diastasis recti… I intimately understand the physical challenges and joys that come along with the journey of living life in a female body.
I also love learning, and I spend a lot of time weeding through much of the information I find to synthesize it into something trustworthy, practical and usable for my own life, and not to mention for my work too. Since this is sometimes a lengthy and convoluted process, I love to share the end results in hopes that others can benefit too.
My passion for the pelvis and birth also led me to create the Birth Better series for childbirth preparation and I love speaking and teaching about the pelvis. When I’m not working in the clinic, you will likely see me hanging out with my kiddos and husband (hopefully outside), volunteering as a Girl Guide leader, or moving my body. Physical activity is my fave, in all sorts of forms. And if I’m not outside, I just might be baking!
I have a big dream for a strong world, full of strong families and strong mothers/parents.
