FOR HEALTH'S SAKE

I have always had a long-standing passion for health and wellness. My journey in learning started in Philadelphia where I obtained a Bachelors of Science in Athletic Training, while competing as a varsity volleyball athlete. From there, I obtained a Masters of Osteopathic Manipulative Sciences over a four year, intensive program at the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy. Throughout my studies of the structural body, I was very drawn to the energetic components to healing; which led me to complete my reiki training to Reiki Master Healer level. Osteopathy has allowed me to understand the body in a completely different way by embracing the self-healing and self-regulating nature of the body. This is done by working with the soft tissue structures to alleviate restriction of motion, which ultimately improves nerve communication, blood and lymphatic circulation. This principle assists in getting to the root cause of one’s dis-ease, and provides the ability to address a wide range of conditions, from acute to chronic. Both osteopathic manual therapy and reiki combined allow me to see the mechanics of the structural and energetic bodies that provide a complete and holistic approach to healing. My experience in study and athletic competition allow my treatments to be rooted in a sense of compassion, caring and understanding. Outside of my practice, you can find me enjoying time outside with my dog, travelling, or up North at the lake with family and friends!
