Esmeralda Alfaro
About
Esmé is a kinesiologist who genuinely cares about helping people feel comfortable, supported, and confident as they move through rehabilitation. She graduated in 2026 with her Bachelor of Health and Physical Education (major in Physical Literacy) from Mount Royal University, and she brings that foundation into her work at Lifemark every day. Whether she’s prescribing exercise, running functional abilities evaluations, or guiding patients through work conditioning and hardening, her focus stays on the person in front of her.
She works with a wide range of needs – musculoskeletal and neurological conditions, chronic pain, and everything in between – always with a patient-centred approach. Esmé believes rehabilitation is really about getting people back to the activities and everyday moments that matter most to them. She celebrates the small wins along the way and works hard to create a welcoming, no-judgement space where patients feel heard and know they’re not alone.
Outside the clinic, Esmé stays involved in research at Mount Royal University, exploring how nutrition and exercise information shows up on social media through the FLICC framework. When she’s not working, you’ll often find her strength training, riding her Ducati, baking sourdough, or spending time with her two Samoyeds. She’s always happy to chat about dogs, motorcycles, or whatever she’s been baking lately.
