(she/her) Chelsea received her DOMP from the National Academy of Osteopathy in Toronto with high academic standing. She believes that the largest hurdle to a successful treatment is a connection with the patient, which is what she strives to build from the second you meet her. She loves to chat, going above and beyond to educate her client’s so they can live healthy, pain-free lives.
She believes “education is the lightest thing you will ever carry”, and she practices what she preaches. Prior to her DOMP, Chelsea earned a specialized BSc., as well as an Honours in Biology and Diploma in Forensic Science. She believes in knowing the body from the inside out, saying that ALL of her education, not just the DOMP, is the backbone (pun intended) of the way she treats.
Chelsea sees a broad range of conditions, from migraines to arthritis and anything in between. As osteopathy is one of the lesser-known modalities, we often see clients who have tried the more well-known avenues of treatment prior to seeking us out.
When she isn’t working, you will find her outside or in the gym. She loves sports, her dog, and good food. She is also a self-proclaimed bookworm, having never met a book she didn’t like.
