Jen’s approach to Osteopathic and Wellness care is grounded in empathy, mindfulness and a deep respect for the body’s innate capacity to heal. She strives to create a safe, supportive space where patients feel heard, understood and empowered throughout their healing journey.

When Jen first began treating clinically, her practice followed a more conventional therapeutic path, drawing heavily on traditional orthopaedic assessment and treatment techniques – an approach that felt like a natural extension of her background as an athlete. Over time, however, she recognized that while these methods could be helpful, they often addressed only part of the picture. Jen became increasingly interested in understanding the body as an interconnected system and exploring how physical symptoms can be influenced by stress, trauma, nervous system dysregulation and life experiences.

This curiosity led Jen to enroll at the Canadian School of Osteopathy in 2010, where she expanded her understanding of health and healing through a holistic lens. Osteopathy is founded on the principle that the body possesses an inherent ability to self-regulate and heal when barriers to function are identified and addressed. Through gentle manual treatment and a whole-person approach, Jen works to support balance, restore function, reduce pain, regulation and enhance overall health.

Jen’s clinical interests include women’s health, fertility support, concussion recovery and trauma-informed nervous system care. To further support this work, Jen has pursued additional training as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, a body-oriented approach to healing trauma and increasing nervous system capacity. This training has deepened her understanding of the nervous system and strengthened her ability to help patients develop greater embodiment, resilience and connection to their bodies. By integrating Osteopathy with Somatic awareness, Jen supports patients in recognizing and releasing patterns of tension, overwhelm and dysregulation that may be contributing to physical symptoms or limiting their capacity for healing.

Whether supporting someone through fertility challenges, postpartum recovery, concussion rehabilitation, chronic pain, or the impacts of stress and trauma, Jen aims to meet each individual with compassion, curiosity, and care. She recognizing that healing is rarely just physical; it often involves restoring a sense of safety, balance and connection within the body.

Jen deeply values the relationship between structure, function and the lived experiences that shape our health. Through ongoing education and clinical experience, she continues to refine my skills and understanding of the human body and its environment. Jen’s role is not to “fix” patients, but rather to help facilitate the conditions that allow healing, resilience, capacity and well-being to emerge.

Jen believes that true health is about more than the absence of symptoms – it’s about creating balance, restoring connection and supporting each person in living with greater ease, vitality and quality of life.

Kristen has always been interested in health and wellness and have made fitness and self-care a central part of her life. This led Kristen to earn a diploma as a Registered Massage Therapist in Vancouver in 2014. She first heard of Osteopathy from her sister-in-law when she took her 4 year old niece in for treatment for an ear infection. Kristen sat in on the appointment and was really impressed by how gentle the treatment was, how calm her niece was, and by how much it helped decrease her pain. She decided to get a treatment to experience it for herself.

After Kristen personally experienced the tremendous benefits of the holistic approach of osteopathy for chronic hip pain, she knew she wanted to become an Osteopathic Practitioner. Kristen was amazed at how much her hip improved after her initial visit. This lead Kristen to complete her 4 year Osteopathic education from the Canadian School of Osteopathy in Vancouver in 2022. Practicing Osteopathy has enforced her belief in the body’s ability to heal itself and her role in helping to facilitate and support that process. Kristen loves helping people optimize their health and improve their quality of life.

Kristen has experience treating a wide variety of conditions and injuries, tailoring your treatment to your individual needs. Using a combination of joint mobilization, muscle energy technique, myofascial release, visceral and craniosacral techniques, the goal of her treatment is to encourage self-regulation within the body, reduce pain, restore mobility and improve function.

Amanda’s path to osteopathic manual therapy began not in a classroom, but as a patient searching for answers. After battling severe, chronic pain for years – continually met with temporary relief or dead ends despite trying various traditional therapies and consulting numerous specialists—everything changed when she experienced osteopathic care. By assessing her body as an interconnected whole, an osteopathic manual practitioner helped her achieve the lasting relief she once thought was impossible. That transformative experience sparked a deep passion within Amanda to dedicate her career to understanding the human body and offering that same profound relief to others.

Amanda approaches Osteopathy through a deeply classical lens, rooted in a precise understanding of functional anatomy and the mechanical relationships within the body. She strictly avoids chasing symptoms, viewing symptomology not as an issue to mask, but as the body’s way of communicating underlying strain. Guided by the core principle that structure dictates function, Amanda strives to uncover and treat the root cause of discomfort. By restoring mechanical balance, she enables the body’s innate self-healing and self-regulating mechanisms to take over.

Amanda graduated from Canadian Academy of Osteopathy and is a member in good standing with Osteopathy Canada (OSTCAN), an association that requires over 4,200 hours of osteopathic-specific education and 1,500 hours of supervised clinical practice. As a qualified OSTCAN member, her treatments are recognized and covered by most major third-party health insurance providers. With a prior background in healthcare fields, including dental care and dedicated experience working with seniors – Amanda brings a well-rounded, empathetic clinical perspective to her practice.

Ananda’s qualifications as a therapist:

• Canadian Academy of Osteopathy, Master in Practice Diploma in Osteopathic Manual Sciences (M.OMSc.) 2026
• Osteopathic manual practitioner for equestrian athletes
