Chris Janzen
From a very early age I knew I wanted to be a “helper”. Though earning a teaching degree was rewarding in itself, it was in the relationships developed with students and their families where I knew I wanted to focus my career. Unfortunately, there is not enough time in a day to meet the needs of a whole class full of students, so I went on to pursue further education and experience in psychology. Since graduating and subsequently becoming a registered psychologist, I have primarily focused on supporting parents, caregivers, and teachers in order to meet the needs of their children and students. Through assessment, education, consultation and collaboration, I have been able to support many families, classrooms and schools with the goal of understanding needs and building plans to encourage healthy growth, of not only children and students, but also those with the challenging job of raising them.

My name is Nicole Nieberding and I am a physiotherapy student with the University of Alberta! I completed my schooling in 2021 but delayed my graduation so that I could pursue a Masters of Business Administration on top of my Masters of Science in Physiotherapy degree. In addition to academics I am an avidly pursue outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, camping and gardening.
Becoming a physiotherapist had been a dream of mine since I was in high school. I first became interested in the profession while working with many of the schools sports teams taping up injuries and doing first aid. As I continued through university this interest only grew. My passion for sports had lead me to volunteer as a coach for a special needs cheer team. I spent three years working with the most lovely group of young athletes who inspired and challenged me. During this time I also started working with families who had children needing special care. Once I began my physiotherapy schooling I started to apply my classroom knowledge in these homes and fell in love. Alongside working with children, I am passionate about working in the pelvic health field and have been certified as a pelvic health physical therapist.
