Nicole (Nikki) Baker is an Osteopathic Practitioner and Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) with over 10 years of experience helping people improve function, reduce pain, and move through life with greater ease. A graduate of the Canadian College of Osteopathy – Manual Practitioners, Nikki combines osteopathic manual therapy with her background in massage therapy, Manual Lymphatic Drainage (Dr. Vodder School), and yoga. Her approach focuses on understanding the whole person and addressing the underlying factors contributing to pain, restriction, compensation patterns, and impaired function. Nikki has a particular interest in supporting individuals navigating gynecological health concerns, including pelvic and abdominal restrictions, surgical preparation and recovery, lymphatic health, and the physical effects of cancer treatment, including lymphedema. She also enjoys working with those experiencing pain, postural strain, stress-related tension, injury recovery, and anyone seeking to optimize their overall health and well-being. Nikki is currently welcoming new patients for osteopathic care. Massage therapy appointments are available for existing massage therapy patients and individuals affected by cancer. Direct billing is available whenever possible; however, some insurance providers may require patients to submit claims independently. Direct billing for Veterans Affairs Canada is available for osteopathic treatments with a physician’s note identifying pensioned conditions at the initial visit and annually thereafter.
