A tribute to honour our colleague:
Katie Bekavac
1990-2025
Katie was a valued member of our CORE Wellness physiotherapy team from 2020-2025. She passed away in October 2025 after a courageous battle with breast cancer.
Katie’s passion for helping others was evident in every aspect of her work. She brought not only clinical excellence, but also warmth, empathy, and genuine care to each patient she treated. Her commitment to improving the lives of others continues to leave a lasting impact on our community and on everyone fortunate enough to work alongside her.
One of Katie’s most meaningful contributions to CORE Wellness was her vision, development, and implementation of our Clinical Pilates program. She believed deeply in the power of movement and rehabilitation, and Clinical Pilates became a reflection of her thoughtful, patient-centered approach. This program stands as a lasting part of her legacy, one that will continue to benefit patients for years to come.
Beyond her professional achievements, Katie lived life with enthusiasm, joy and purpose. She loved to move – whether through exercise or hiking in the mountains – and found inspiration in travel and new experiences. She had a deep appreciation for music, a fondness for lattes, and a creative spirit that came through in her baking and love of discovering new foods.
Katie will be remembered for her kindness, her strength, her dedication, and her ability to make people feel seen and supported. She was not only a valued colleague at CORE but also a dear friend.
We are profoundly grateful for the time we had with her and the legacy she leaves within our clinic. She will be deeply missed, always remembered, and forever a part of the CORE family.
In honour of Katie, we remain committed to carrying forward the care and passion she brought to her work every day.
