Sam first arrived in Guelph as an undergraduate student, where she completed her Honours Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Science at the University of Guelph. On her search for her ideal career, Sam then worked on her Masters of Science in Neuroscience at the University of Calgary and her Masters of Science in Clinical Neuroscience at the Ontario Veterinary College in Guelph. She realized her drive to become a clinician after her own positive experiences during her athletic endeavours as a collegiate-level rower. She became particularly interested in using manual therapy to balance the body, allowing it to self-heal and self-regulate, which led her to pursue her Masters of Osteopathic Manual Science (M.OMSc) at the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy in Hamilton. Sam’s passion for integrating manual therapy, movement, and wellness provides her with a unique skillset to help a variety of clients of all ages and abilities to feel their absolute best. She enjoys staying active and outdoors and always adventuring with her family, friends, and two pups.
A gentle hands-on therapy session that begins with reviewing the client's health history in detail, followed by an initial general assessment and treatment. This allows the clinician to work with the client to curate a plan of action for future treatments to work toward their specific goals.
