Peng Tan, R.Kin, R.M.T

Kinésiologue,
Massothérapeute agréé

Peng s’est lancé dans le domaine de la réadaptation sans orientation précise, par intérêt plutôt que par passion. Au fil de ses études et de sa pratique, il a découvert une vocation : accompagner les personnes dans leur quête de santé et de bien-être.

Après avoir obtenu son baccalauréat en sciences de l’activité physique à l’Université d’Ottawa et travaillé comme entraîneur personnel et kinésiologue, Peng a décidé d’élargir son champ d’expertise en étudiant la massothérapie au International Academy of Applied Health. Il poursuit aujourd’hui ses études dans deux disciplines et continue son parcours universitaire tout en exerçant sa profession. Il prépare actuellement une maîtrise en psychologie, un diplôme en acupuncture et un diplôme en ostéopathie.

Peng adopte une approche holistique de la thérapie, combinant ses connaissances en kinésiologie et en massothérapie pour créer des traitements qui prennent en compte les aspects physiques et mentaux du bien-être. Il aime perfectionner ses compétences et recherche activement des approches innovantes, intégrant de nouvelles techniques à ses traitements. Peng est fier de proposer des soins personnalisés et efficaces qui ont un impact positif et concret sur le bien-être de chacun.

Lorsqu’il n’est pas au travail ou en train d’étudier, Peng aime jouer au volley-ball, faire de l’escalade de bloc, résoudre des puzzles ou s’initier à la menuiserie. Chez lui, il apprécie la compagnie de ses trois chats et chérit les moments de bonheur qu’ils lui apportent.

Zeinab Garda, MHSc SLP

Speech-Language Pathologist

Zeinab became a Speech-Language Pathologist in order to help patients along on their journey to recovery, striving to help them find quality of life despite any challenges they may be facing. She feels she learns as much about life from them as they learn from her about speech, language, and deglutition.

After obtaining her BA with Honours in Cognitive Sciences of Language at McMaster University and her Masters in Speech and Language Pathology from the University of Ottawa, Zeinab began her career as a Speech-Language Pathologist, practicing in Ontario and Québec, in both private and community settings. Using her knowledge and experience, Zeinab has now launched her own practice: Hummingbird Speech Therapy.

Most recently, Zeinab joined the NeuroGym® team to work with our unique clientele. She brings her experience working with Stroke rehabilitation, neurodegenerative conditions, and swallowing disorders as well as her focus on offering engaging and functional patient-centered care based on clients’ interests and research-based best practices. 

When Zeinab isn’t practicing Speech Therapy, she can be found spending time with her dog, cooking and trying new cuisines, or working on digital art and acrylic paint projects.
