Kristen MacDonald

Kristen completed her four year Osteopathic education from the Canadian College of Osteopathy in Vancouver in 2023. After personally experiencing the tremendous benefits of osteopathy for chronic hip pain, Kristen knew she wanted to become an Osteopathic Practitioner. Recognizing the body’s ability to heal itself and her role in helping to facilitate and support that process, Kristen loves helping people optimize their health and improve their quality of life. Kristen has also practiced as a Registered Massage Therapist in Vancouver since 2014. She truly loves her work and finds anatomy and physiology endlessly fascinating. She has experience treating a wide variety of conditions and injuries, tailoring your treatment to your individual needs. Using a combination of joint mobilization, muscle energy technique, myofascial release, visceral and craniosacral techniques, the goal of Kristen’s treatment is to encourage self-regulation within the body, reduce pain, restore mobility and improve function. Kristen has called Vancouver home for the past 13 years and enjoys everything the city has to offer. In her free time she loves walking, yoga, riding her bike, traveling and hanging out with her cat Hefner. Kristen is an active member of OsteopathyBC.
