Growing up on a farm in Saskatchewan and being an avid athlete, I frequently faced injuries that sparked my curiosity about understanding, recovering from, and preventing them. This passion led me to Calgary, where I pursued studies in athletic therapy and kinesiology. However, after another injury sidelined my private Athletic Therapy practice, I transitioned to the insurance industry. There, I discovered the "no man's land" of healthcare—a space where symptoms exist without a clear diagnosis, where something feels off, yet nothing appears wrong.

Feeling my current education wasn't sufficient to help people in this ambiguous space, I turned to osteopathic education to bridge the gap. Here I came to recognize how we give the power to heal away instead of utilizing the faculties that reside in the body to help us heal. I learned pain and dysfunction is simply information that needs to be decoded in order to help us on the journey towards health and wellness. This journey has empowered me to assist more individuals in overcoming their health challenges by addressing this often-overlooked area.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, I discovered the ability to energetically connect and support people in their healing from a distance, utilizing the osteopathic philosophy. I now not only offer in person sessions, I have the capacity to help clients achieve wellness and balance, no matter where they are.

Clients best served by the services I offer are individuals who

• Understand, on some level, they are more than the physical body they reside in
• That the body is simply a part of the greater whole
• Have often tried many things without long-lasting relief and are seeking to get to the roof of their challenges rather than receive a band aid solution.
• Are willing to look at their struggles as a tool for evolution and getting in touch with their own souls wisdom at a deeper level.
• Understand that pain and dysfunction are information the body is offering and that they can live tremendous lives despite of the challenges they are experiencing.
• Know and believe in a better way of being in the world and recognize, even is just subtly, they are worthy of thriving in this life.

In our office we collaborate with all the professionals that reside within. We are a collective of healing presences from

• Naturopathic medicine
• Traditional Chinese medicine
• Yoga therapy
• Massage therapy

• Craino-sacral therapy.

Our collaboration goes beyond just communication between therapists to help offer solutions and sharing of clients, but to include two therapists - one client in our Functional Yoga Therapy program. This program is with myself, Christal, and Yvonne Werkmann, our Yoga Therapist. This two-person approach offers release from the tissue impeding the neuromuscular system from functioning as it should and exercise prescription to re-establish and strengthen neuromuscular pathways.
