For Lora, Massage Therapy was an obvious gateway into Manual Therapies, which evolved to the study of Osteopathic Manual Therapy. She graduated from one of the most comprehensive osteopathic training programs in Canada, the Collège d’Études Ostéopathiques. With her vast knowledge and over 18 years experience as a Manual Practitioner (beginning in 2003) her treatments can be tailored to suit the client where they are on their wellness journey. Her holistic approach to Osteopathy considers your well being on a mental, emotional and physical level, looking to bring balance and restore fluidity to your systems by normalizing blockages in your musculoskeletal, visceral, craniosacral and fascial systems. Whether she is accompanying you through stressful times, through injury recovry, through a medical treatment or regular maintenance, she is an approachable, attentive professional and knowledgeable, skilled therapist to have at your side.

During an Initial Assessment (the first appointment) the client can expect an indepth health history intake and physical evaluation for the purpose of informing the practitioner the state the client is in and how the accumulation of their life experiences enabled or contributed to their current state. At the end of the Initial Assessment, provided that time permits it, there will be a proposed treatment plan and the first treatment. Ideally, during the physical evaluation the client would be wearing as little as possible, such as full-bottom underwear and bra (non racerback bra and no sport bra), to allow an obstructed view of their body.
