About us
At Total Body Pulse Ltd., we are revolutionizing the fitness and rehabilitation landscape in Calgary through innovative EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) training. Founded by two passionate, experienced professionals—Erika Holderer and Lucia Mathieson—our mission is to deliver efficient, effective, and time-saving fitness solutions tailored to the diverse needs of our clients.
Lucia Mathieson, MSc, Co-Founder
Lucia is a senior physiotherapist with over 17 years of clinical experience in pelvic floor therapy, orthopedic rehabilitation, and sports injury treatment. Educated at Charles University in Prague and trained in advanced therapeutic methods such as dry needling and Kinesio Taping, Lucia is deeply committed to women’s health and holistic recovery. Her multilingual abilities and compassionate care approach make her a trusted provider for patients of all ages and backgrounds. Lucia’s insight into the recurring barriers her patients face—like lack of time, weak foundational strength, and recurring injury cycles—inspired the EMS-centered approach of Total Body Pulse.
