Ashley was born and raised in Edmonton, Alberta, and moved to Central Alberta for her post-secondary studies. She began her undergraduate degree in Adapted Kinesiology/Bachelor of Physical Education at Red Deer College, where her passion for adapted sport and accessibility first took root. She completed her degree at the University of Alberta, later earning a Master of Science in Occupational Therapy with a focus on Neurology, Pediatrics, and Hand Therapy.

In 2012, Ashley and her late husband, Jon, settled in Lacombe. She began her career in Return to Work and PTSD Prolonged Exposure Therapy with first responders, then joined AHS at Red Deer Hospital, where she spent six years in Outpatient Neurology and eventually became Senior Occupational Therapist for both Neurology and Orthopedic Therapy. During this time, Ashley and Jon also became owners of the Dolman Professional Building in downtown Lacombe.

As their family grew, Ashley transitioned into private practice, focusing on pediatric OT—a role that kept her close to home, especially after Jon received a life-altering diagnosis. While she loved working in her community, she missed neuro-based rehabilitation and team leadership. Conversations with Jason (“Jigger”) from The Team Jigger Foundation revealed a local gap in accessible, evidence-based, all-in-one rehab services. Inspired by these discussions and the Foundation’s mission to help everyBODY live and function without barriers, Ashley decided—before Jon’s passing—to launch her own clinic.

Through Legacy Rehab, Ashley strives to give back the love, support, and encouragement her family has received. Rooted in the same community where Jon built his legacy, she now works to build her own: “Together we make a difference. Together we create a legacy.”

In her spare time, Ashley enjoys life with her amazing new husband, her two daughters, and incredible friends. She loves creating, spending time at the lake, boating, and travelling.

Jessie has always been fascinated by the brain and central nervous system—its ability to heal, learn, adapt, and recover from trauma never ceases to amaze her. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology with a minor in Psychology from the University of Alberta in 2013, followed by a Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy at the same university.

For five years, Jessie has worked at Red Deer Hospital, gaining experience in outpatient neurological rehabilitation and on the Early Supported Stroke Discharge team. She also helped establish the hospital’s outpatient driving assessment program in collaboration with therapists from across Alberta.

Jessie is passionate about providing lifelong, quality rehabilitation services. She values individuality, creativity, and adventure, and aims to inspire excellence in those around her while living a life grounded in discovery and integrity.

Outside of work, Jessie enjoys camping in the mountains with her family, coaching and playing volleyball, and riding her horses. Life is full with her two young daughters and twin boys, who keep her on her toes.

Gwen was born and raised in Manitoba and earned her Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science and Psychology from Dordt University in Iowa, followed by her Master of Occupational Therapy from the University of Manitoba. In 2008, she and her husband, Tyson, moved to Alberta, where she began her career as an Occupational Therapist with AHS, primarily serving Home Care in Red Deer.

Passionate about empowering people to live their best lives, Gwen has worked with clients of all ages, helping them gain independence and improve their quality of life. A lifelong learner, she actively pursues professional development and thrives on collaboration. She loves the saying that “Occupational Therapy is where science, creativity, and compassion collide.”

Outside of work, Gwen’s life is full with her husband, five kids, and pets. Whether playing, coaching, or cheering from the sidelines, she’s happiest around sports. She also enjoys biking, hiking, puzzles, games, and audiobooks.

Nicole was born and raised on an acreage near Condor, Alberta, with her parents and older sister. After graduating high school in 2019, she moved to Calgary, where she completed a Bachelor’s degree in Health and Physical Education with a major in Physical Literacy at Mount Royal University. She then went on to earn her Master of Science in Occupational Therapy from the University of Alberta’s Calgary satellite campus, graduating in October 2025.

Throughout her MScOT program, Nicole gained diverse clinical experience through fieldwork placements in paediatrics, traumatic psychological injury, chronic pain, and a variety of hospital-based settings, including acute care, home care, and outpatient services. These opportunities deepened her commitment to supporting individuals in regaining independence and enhancing their quality of life through meaningful rehabilitation.

After completing her studies, Nicole returned to her hometown with her boyfriend, Noah.

In her free time, she enjoys spending quality time with friends and family, camping, going to spin classes, spending time with her cat, Chloe and reading a good book.
