Hi my name is Dr. Alysha Hergott. I grew up in Kitchener, ON heavily involved in basketball and generally living a healthy active lifestyle with friends and family. This led me to pursue a degree in Physical and Health Education at Queen’s University where I graduated in 2017. I then continued on to graduate with distinction from Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College and earn my Doctor of Chiropractic in 2021. I followed that up with moving with my husband to Grande Prairie the same year and now I’m here at Progressive!

As a licensed Doctor of Chiropractic, I pride myself in providing a hands-on, patient centred, diversified treatment experience. What that means is I offer a wide variety of services that are geared towards you as an individual. Those services include spinal and extremity manipulation and mobilization, soft tissue therapy, cupping, shockwave therapy, activator, laser therapy, patient education, and exercise prescription. I use these services to help relieve different stressors on the body and nervous system, while helping you work towards your individual goals and get back to your most enjoyed activities.

I have also found a special interest in both pediatric and pregnancy chiropractic care. I am now Webster certified, which means I use this specific chiropractic technique to help women who are pregnant optimize their pelvic function and improve their overall health and wellness pre and postpartum. I absolutely love having families in the clinic and look forward to meeting each and every one of you!

Outside the clinic, you can find me curled up on the couch reading, playing volleyball and/or softball in the GP Women’s League, walking my two dogs Luna and Diesel, and camping/hiking with my husband!

Hi, my name is Makenzie.

After flying to Maui in 2017 to become a certified Yoga instructor I came home and began my journey to study Massage Therapy and continued my interest in helping people. I eagerly got involved with practitioners who I consider mentors and for the curious mind I have, this was the best thing I could do for my practice and future clients.

One could describe my practice as therapeutic but what does that mean? Well, I personalise each treatment, using resources, continuous education and a listening ear to really make sure my clients know that treatment is truly about their goals and wellbeing for their homeostasis. Some of the techniques I like to marry with swedish techniques are low level craniosacral, fascia connection, breathing techniques and stretching. I believe a big part of massage therapy is to connect with humans with peace in mind, whether that means laughing, sleeping, or maybe feeling a little uncomfortable to get comfortable to achieve a relaxed state.

My main concern for my clients is for us to develop a trusting relationship. I don’t make complicated stories for my clients, I simply provide them a space to get out of the rat race and encourage them to have a deeper connection with their body.

If I am not talking about or providing a massage I am either planning or eating a delicious meal with loved ones, taking my Bijon Shitzu out on the kayak with me, playing fetch or walking trails with my younger mutt, dancing like nobody’s watching (because they probably shouldn’t) or booking a trip for my husband and I.

Hey, I’m Jenn… the heart behind Belief By Design.

I help people reconnect to the truth of who they are beneath layers of stress, tension, and old conditioning, so they can live with more clarity, peace, and wholeness.

My approach blends science, energy, and intuition… using Belief Coding®, Reiki, Human Design, and Reflective Listening to support emotional release, nervous system regulation, and deep personal insight.

Many of the people I work with come in because they feel “stuck”… physically, mentally, or emotionally. Together, we explore what’s happening beneath the surface so the body and mind can naturally realign. Rather than focusing on fixing what’s wrong, I help reveal what’s ready to heal.

Each session is a calm, compassionate space where you’re fully seen, heard, and supported. My goal is to help you understand what your body is communicating, release what’s holding you back, and leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more at ease.

When I’m not holding space for clients, you’ll usually find me with my husband and four sons, experimenting in the kitchen, crafting, or having meaningful conversations over coffee.

I look forward to meeting those who feel drawn to working with me… and helping you rediscover what’s possible for your body, mind, and spirit.
