Manual Therapist, Osteopathic Studies

The body has a tremendous ability to heal itself, and this is the foundation of traditional osteopathic manipulative medicine. As a manual therapist, I use non-invasive hands-on manual therapy to treat and strengthen the musculoskeletal framework (joints, muscles, spine). The position of your joints and soft tissues will be eased to help restore normal function and facilitate the body's healing process. The aim of treatment is to positively affect the body’s nervous, circulatory and lymphatic systems; and to treat the root cause of your symptoms. My treatments are customized to your individual needs based on an understanding of anatomy, physiology and pathology.

Born and raised in St. Thomas, life took me away from the area for a number of years, but I’m happy to be back home. I graduated from McMaster University in 2000 with an honors Kinesiology degree and a minor in Biology. I worked for many years in the areas of fitness, health and rehabilitation. Wishing to expand my expertise and help people with their recovery and long-term health, I returned to school. Currently, I’m a 3rd year Osteopathy student at the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy. I have a passion for health and well-being, and when I’m not working with patients, I enjoy hiking, weight training, running, trying new recipes, reading, and time with my family and friends.
