I have been a registered nurse since 2016 with a diverse background in the medical field, bringing forth experience from working in the ICU, OR, Medical Surgical, Palliative / Hospice Care, Orthopaedics, Renal, Telemetry, Psychiatry, Obstetrics, Paediatric, and Respiratory units.

What is Osteopathy?

Osteopathic treatment allows me to help facilitate optimal health in individuals by realigning their structure and body mechanics to operate at its highest capacity for proper drainage, supply, flow and function of nerves, arteries, veins and lymphatics which induce the body’s natural mechanism of self-healing and self-regulating. This includes a thorough assessment of the bony structures, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, cartilage, organs, and a treatment process that tests the physiological range of motion within several tissue layers of the body to address any obstructions or imbalanced force distributions.

Osteopathic treatment focuses on the interrelationship between structure and function of the body. By working to integrate all systems of the body, the practitioner facilitates the body's innate ability to self heal and self regulate.
