Osteopathy was founded in 1874 by the American physician, Andrew Taylor Still. Still lost faith in the medical system when all four of his children succumbed to cerebrospinal meningitis despite administering all of the medical treatments commonly prescribed at the time. While seeking solace by immersing himself in nature, he suddenly realized that all things in nature were parts of a greater whole. By observing how living systems in the natural world restored balance and harmony A.T. Still understood the same was true for the human body and he founded osteopathy on the study, research and observation of living systems in their natural environment. Today, Manual Osteopathy is a holistic treatment modality strongly rooted in anatomy, physiology, embryology and neurology.

When I was a little girl, all I wanted was to become an Olympic gold medalist figure skater. My dream was shot, when my knees gave out and I was told I could not compete anymore. The next decade of my life was dedicated to rebuilding the parts of me that needed a lot of care and attention. In my late teens, I had a major ski accident which halted all the progress I was making. It took another decade of rehabilitation to finally be able to run, hike down a steep hill and go about my life without being in chronic agony. In the past few years, some car and bicycle accidents have given me the opportunity to become resilient in the face of psychological and physical pain. These experiences have forced me to become embodied, to know my limits, to know when it’s safe to push them and to trust my intuition. Stepping into a career path that continued to teach me about my own healing and to honour my strength of taking care of others made a lot of sense. I started with a holistic massage and bodywork program in 2015 which provided an excellent foundation to begin my studies in Chinese medicine. Having experienced such a diversity of discomfort and sensitivity within my body, mind and soul, Chinese medicine gave me so many answers. The nature of the medicine is so simple, yet profound. Our internal environment reflects our external and vice versa. When there is clutter and excess around, our mind will struggle to be clear. Food is medicine. Napping restores qi and coffee depletes it. The body holds the answers to any ailment long before it presents in distress. It’s a matter of catching the subtle hints so we can provide preventative treatment because that is truly the most effective kind. I love acupuncture. Acupuncture has helped me through body aches, nerve pain, mental fog, digestive distress, seasonal depression, menstrual imbalances and above all, given me an incredible career. I feel because of my personal experiences, I have much compassion for the healing process. It’s not an easy thing to ask for help, to begin unwinding patterns and literally break up scar tissue. It takes courage and discipline. Health is not a destination, it’s the ability to adapt to change. The greater we can adapt, the more resilient we can become. I use acupuncture, electro-acupuncture, cupping and gua sha to restore motor function, decrease pain, break up scar tissue, promote blood flow and a para-sympathetic state in which your body can truly heal. I have a special affinity towards working with athletes, post-partum mothers and pre/post-surgery patients. Expect a combination of tongue diagnosis, muscle testing, gait analysis and postural assessments to get started. I am thrilled to be working in such a collaborative environment here at Origin where the team truly has your back.
