Ocean is currently on maternity leave and is expecting to come back in a part-time capacity in Fall 2024. If you are in need of osteopathic treatment, please book with our other two OMTs, Rachel and Christine.

Ocean is an Osteopathic Manual Therapist who graduated from the Canadian School of Osteopathy, a 5 year program. She has also completed a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology from the University of Calgary, and was a member of the U of C varsity wrestling team for four years. Her background in athletics and dealing with injuries has given her great insight into how important it is to support and care for your body to better enjoy your every day life and activities.

Ocean has been passionate about treating people since a wrestling injury back in high school which spurred a drive for deeper knowledge into the human body. This led her to finding Osteopathy.

Osteopathy is a natural modality which aims to restore function in the body by treating the causes of pain and imbalance. To achieve this goal the Osteopathic Manual Practitioner relies on the quality and finesse of his/her palpation and works with the position, mobility and quality of the tissues.

In treatments, Ocean uses cranial osteopathy, visceral manipulation, fascial release, and joint mobilization techniques. You can expect a full body assessment at each session to guide Ocean to where your body needs work to help you feel your best. She enjoys treating infants to the elderly because we all need a little support throughout every stage of life.

During her down time, Ocean enjoys reading from her never-ending to-be-read pile of books, spending time in nature, and learning about herbalism.
