Sonya van Engen is an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner who has been practicing osteopathy since 2019. She is a graduate of the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy, where she earned her Masters in Osteopathic Manipulative Sciences. Sonya also holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Wilfrid Laurier University. Sonya is a current member of the Ontario Osteopathic Association (OOA), a branch of OSTCAN. Sonya’s passion for the human body, biomechanics, and healing began at a young age through competitive dance. This early exposure to movement, injury, and recovery sparked her interest in understanding how the body functions as an integrated whole and laid the foundation for her career in osteopathy. With her recent entry into motherhood, Sonya has developed a special interest in prenatal, postpartum, and pediatric care. She has completed additional coursework in pediatrics and enjoys supporting families through pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and early childhood development. Using an osteopathic approach, Sonya works to support the body’s innate ability to self-heal and self-regulate. She treats patients of all ages and works with a wide range of conditions, tailoring each treatment to the individual’s unique needs. Sonya is dedicated to helping her patients improve mobility, reduce pain, and achieve long-term health and well-being. Outside of the clinic, Sonya enjoys spending time with her family and friends, travelling, exploring the outdoors, practicing pilates, and relaxing at the cottage.
Osteopathy is a holistic, hands-on form of manual therapy that treats the body as a connected whole. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, it aims to identify and address the underlying cause of discomfort. It is based on the principle that the body’s structure—bones, muscles, nerves, joints, fascia, and organs—directly influences its function. When movement or alignment is restricted, it can impact overall health and well-being. With a deep understanding of anatomy, Osteopathic Manual Practitioners use gentle, precise techniques to restore balance, improve mobility and circulation, and support the body’s natural ability to heal and self-regulate.
