Melissa Shaigec
About
Melissa earned her Bachelor of Kinesiology with a major in Adapted Physical Activity from the University of Alberta in 2026. Her passion for rehabilitation and inclusive movement developed through her academic training, where she gained experience supporting individuals of all abilities in improving mobility, function, and overall quality of life.
As a Kinesiologist at Lifemark, Melissa is dedicated to helping clients return to their daily activities safely and confidently. She takes a client-centered approach, focusing on functional movement, injury prevention, and building sustainable exercise habits tailored to each individual. With her background in adapted physical activity, she strives to create inclusive and accessible programs that empower clients throughout their recovery journey.
Outside of the clinic, Melissa stays active through Ukrainian dance with the Viter Ukrainian Dancers and Folk Choir, where she enjoys connecting with her culture and community. She loves spending time outdoors year-round, snowboarding in the winter and relaxing at the lake with friends during the summer.
