Contracting Registered Dietitian

Nicole graduated from the University of Alberta in 2008 as a registered dietitian, and has been a certified diabetes educator (CDE) since 2009. She and her husband both grew up in the Stettler area, so she moved back following convocation. She has worked as an RD at the Diabetes Education Program in Red Deer, Our Lady of the Rosary Hospital in Castor, and the Big Country Primary Care Network in Stettler, Coronation, Consort, Trochu, Three Hills and Drumheller. 

Nicole has been passionate about nutrition for many years. She was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in grade one and celiac disease in grade 8, and the majority of her free time growing up was consumed with playing sports.  As a result, nutrition has always been a big part of her health and livelihood.  

The areas of nutrition that Nicole has the most experience in and passion for include intuitive eating, weight loss, sport nutrition, pre/postnatal nutrition, and chronic diseases such as diabetes, dyslipidemia, high blood pressure and heart disease. 

Nicole happily spends the majority of her time at home with her four young children. They enjoy many activities together such as ice skating, bike riding, swimming, horseback riding, tobogganing, and playing at the playgrounds.

She has been an active member in the Byemoor 4-H Beef Club for 9 years, and currently lives on a cattle and grain ranch with her boyfriend. She loves animals and being outside.

Grace’s massage career was not the first on her list when she graduated high school but it should’ve been. With her deep passion for helping people and making them feel better when they are in pain, massage therapy is the perfect fit. She offers a wide range of services from deep tissue and therapeutic massage to manual lymphatic drainage and dynamic cupping (silicone cups).

Randi is very close with her family and she is frequently seen beside her mom and dad at the hockey rink cheering on her two brothers. Randi has been on skates since the age of 3, making figure skating a huge part of her maturing years.

Taryn Fletcher, BKin

Kinesiologist/Physiotherapist Assistant

Sara Humphreys,
Pilates Fitness Instructor

Born and raised in Stettler, we are so lucky to have such a talented local in our midst!  Sara has recently retired from a 25 year career as a dance instructor.  Well, she has sort of retired.  After many years of juggling essentially two full-time jobs, she has significantly decreased her hours.  She still works full time for Alberta Employment and Immigration, but instead of instructing childrens dance classes for a few hours most days after work, she has paired it down to a few hours per week of pilates classes.  She was first introduced to pilates through the dance world, and she was persuaded to share her passion for pilates with the broader community over 5 years ago.  Her dance background and personality make for the perfect pilates instructor.  She uses her repertoire of analogies, her patience and her experience to ensure that all participants understand and perform the exercises with correct technique.

In addition to her own interests and careers, Sara is married to a local high school teacher, so most waking hours are spent giving to the community in one way or another.  Sara is very active in Stettler’s community theatre group with a variety of roles both on and off the stage.  Her and her husband have one  ‘grown’ son, and in whatever remains of Sara’s spare time you can find her practicing pilates and yoga for herself, or knitting dolls!

Tannis Kneeland,
Physiotherapy Assistant

Tannis has been a long time supporter of Performance being active with us in many a morning fitness class. She also dropped off her children at tot time, and this fall she decided to join our team as a tot time supervisor. Tannis’ happy, warm and inclusive  personality is a great asset to our tot time room.

Tannis grew up in central Alberta  and moved into our community when she met her husband Clint.  They have been married for 15 years and spent the last 12 years as the resident stay at home mom for their three children. While that time was fulfilling she is looking forward to bringing her talents here.  On her off time you can find her at her children’s activities such as hockey and dance. While she loves to be where her kids are she also enjoys reading, camping and spending time with her numerous friends and family.
