Call us today to tour our practice and meet the team in person!
Melanie Walls | Office Manager
Mel has been a familiar face in the office since January 2006!
After completing many courses in Montreal and becoming certified in all kinds of energy work, then completing her Yoga Teacher Training certification, Melanie fell in love with chiropractic & became a life long patient & dedicated staff member.
“It’s amazing to see all of the miracles that happen everyday in our office! I feel so lucky to be surrounded by everyone that works here, you’ll feel the love when you walk through the doors, for sure. We have the best patients, and the connection we create with each person is something you don’t find everywhere. At BFC, you are family”
Melanie lives on an acreage with her husband, Marty, her 2 girls Emma and Madeleine who are Homeschoolers, and they have 2 dogs and chickens.
When she’s not at work, or doing farm chores, or homeschooling her children, Melanie loves yoga, walking, hiking, swimming, being anywhere in nature, baking & travelling & being with friends. We should also add that she’s kind of dog-crazy…we can say that, right?
Leeann Mahé | Chiropractic Assistant & Administrative Assistant
Leeann joined the team at Brisbin Family Chiropractic in 2017, and from the beginning she was impressed by the positive atmosphere at BFC.
“It’s such a joy to come to work each day, knowing that I’ll be working alongside a great team that genuinely cares about me, each other and each and every patient. My co-workers and all of our patients feel like one big family! I look forward to helping patients with their wellness-based care, and there’s always something new to learn in my administrative role, which is refreshing.”
Leeann has a Bachelor of Science in Food and Nutritional Sciences from the University of Alberta, and a Medical Office Assistant Certificate from St. Lawrence College. She enjoys spending time with family, daily walks, camping, and reading.
Sonya Hassan | Chiropractic Assistant
Sonya began her chiropractic care at Brisbin after a friend recommended Dr. Dave. Her original issue was cleared up, and then with continued care she was so happy to discover many other benefits!
She is excited to see patients come in and experience better health, and have a smile on their face. “Working as part of the Brisbin team is something that is very fulfilling to me, because I know people’s lives are being changed for the better. I love getting to know so many people as well!”
Sonya lives with her husband, Greg in Sherwood Park and they have 4 adult children who are the best kids ever. She loves running, camping, hiking, drinking lattes and sitting in the sun. She also volunteers for Athletics Alberta as a track official in long jump and triple jump.
Irene E-O | Chiropractic Assistant
As someone who had always embraced a healthy lifestyle and strongly believes that the human body is designed to heal itself when treated right, Irene was extremely curious and excited at the opportunity to learn more about chiropractic care. She began her care in the summer of 2019 when she started working at Brisbin Family Chiropractic and has been very happy with the results.
Her major attraction to the clinic was the warm, positive energy of the staff and she was delighted at the opportunity to join the team!
“I truly love being a part of the Brisbin team. I genuinely look forward to coming to work! Everyone is so pleasant, happy and very caring. The positive energy in the clinic is very contagious, you can’t come in to the clinic and not feel happy!”
Irene has a Bachelor of Science in Economics, Master of Science in Corporate Brand Management from Brunel University, West London and she recently became a Certified Holistic Health Coach through American Fitness Professionals & Associates.
She loves experiencing different cultures and learning new skills. She considers herself a student of life, constantly learning, unlearning and relearning. You can wake up one morning and totally reinvent yourself! “I love surprising myself!” She enjoys staying active by either going for runs, taking long walks, strength training and dancing. She loves spending time with her girls, Reena and Rania, going on adventures and creating new memories. They tell her she is like a big sister and they definitely make her more playful and goofier than she ever imagined she was.
Kristin Johnson | Assistant Manager & Social Media Liaison
Kristin joined the Brisbin Family Chiropractic team in January 2020. After more than a decade in the nursing profession, she found a new place to call “home” at BFC. She loves being part of a team that genuinely cares about its patients and takes pride in helping others feel supported in their wellness journey. One of her favourite parts of her role is seeing the positive impact chiropractic care can have on people’s lives, while spreading a little joy along the way.
Outside the office, Kristin and her family enjoy playing pickleball, travelling, gathering with friends for board game nights, and cheering on their favourite sports teams (Go Bills!).
