Kalynna Styba

My name is Kalynna Styba. I have been in Red Deer for the majority of my life and definitely call it home. I went to Lindsey Thurber Comprehensive High School and loved every minute of it. From there I took a few courses at Red Deer College and did a nursing attendant course through NAIT.

I worked as a nursing attendant for 3 years. The first year and a half I worked at a small private care home in Kentwood called Correct Care as well as in Lacombe at the Good Samaritan Society. I loved the atmosphere of Correct Care and enjoyed that we had the staffing to be able to spend time with each client and truly get to know them. Some of the best memories and friends I have are from working there.

Once Correct Care closed I worked at Bethany College Side on the Young and Disabled (Y&D) / Cognitively Aware Elderly (CAE) units, there are 14 beds for each. The residents who live on the Y&D side are between the ages of 26 and 50 while the CAE range all the way up to 98. The time I spent working at Bethany was both rewarding and heart wrenching. Knowing that you are helping someone is the best feeling in the world. At the same time, seeing people just a few years older than you living there is eye opening. Because of the mental awareness of the residents on that unit it was the most stressful and demanding job I have ever worked, but also the most rewarding. The residents became my friends and now that I have stopped working at Bethany I still go to visit once or twice a week. It always warms my heart that they are so excited to see me and to know what is going on in my life.

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family, doing a variety of things. My parents, Eileen and Eugene, are the ones I can thank for getting me into golf. I started playing when I was 12 or 13 and have continued to play into my adult life, I should add not very well though. My brother, Patrick, got me into football and rugby when we were in high school as he played on both the teams. I still enjoy going to and watching the games. My brother is getting married in May 2008 to a wonderful girl named Katherine, so my small family is slowly starting to grow.

I can also thank my family for my love of swimming, cooking and good books. I also attribute my Crib skills to my family, but mostly my grandpa who spent every summer teaching me to play since I could count.

I first met Dr. Stacy in 1997 at Peak Chiropractic after I was hit by a vehicle. The results of the accident were severe headaches and constant back pain. I had to take Tylenol several times a day just to maintain a normal life, and even then I couldn’t do the activities that I enjoyed. It wasn’t long after I starting seeing Dr. Stacy regularly that I was able to stop taking the Tylenol and start enjoying life again.

I hope that you enjoy your experience with us here at Larsen Family Chiropractic and I look forward to getting to know you.
