MEET DR. EMILY

We’re so pleased to have .emily_willms joining us as begins maternity leave.

“I began my education at Brock University where I obtained a Bachelor of Science with Honours in Kinesiology. As a former ice hockey, field hockey, and track and field athlete I volunteered as a student athletic trainer throughout university, finding a passion for people and health care. Inspired by this I earned a Doctor of Chiropractic degree from New York Chiropractic College.

Throughout my time in New York state, I was an intern at a Veterans Affair clinic in Rochester as well as a health center in the Buffalo area. This gave me experience treating a variety of conditions. I’m certified in the Webster technique, which gives me the skills and knowledge to treat pregnant and postpartum patients. My commitment to lifelong learning includes continuing my education in the pediatric and women’s health field.

I use many techniques including manual mobilizations and massage, targeted active exercises, and lifestyle recommendations to work with you to reach your wellness goals. Patient centered care is a priority to me, meaning every appointment is about you, your needs, and comfort level.

Being from Elmira, Ontario I returned to Waterloo Region to be close to my friends and family. I spend my time staying active at the gym, reading, or visiting our family cottage on Georgian Bay.”

WELCOME THE WOLF 🐺

Meet Jay Kearns – Coach & Founder of JK Fitness Coaching Forge Your Legend.
The gym isn’t just a place to train—it’s a forge where we temper our bodies and minds, where pain becomes power, and where struggle breeds resilience. For me, fitness has been more than just lifting weights; it’s been my anchor through PTSD, depression, and anxiety. I know firsthand how training can rebuild a person from the ground up, because I’ve lived it.

Bryan Stevens - Founder and President

My name is Bryan Stevens. I`m a 30 year Frontline Services Veteran, serving the people of Ontario as a paramedic. For the last 17 years, I have worked as a Critical Care Flight Paramedic on a helicopter based in London, Ontario. I was among the highest educated, trained, and certified paramedics in North America.

With this level of training, I was expected to perform my duties at a very high level of autonomy and acuity. During my career, I responded to over 10,000 calls. Our mission was to treat and transport the most severe trauma patients from vehicle, farming and industrial accidents, pedestrians struck and burn victims of all ages.
