Sarah's Biography

Since 2010, Sarah has been a Registered Yoga Instructor; it was through teaching that she became increasingly interested in the human form, its mechanics, and the bodies healing mechanism. Through personal experience with family illness, as well as her own ailments, Sarah sought an osteopathic practitioner and was immediately fascinated by the balanced, gentle approach and long-standing results. Thereafter she began studying at the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy, partaking in in-depth academics; focusing on osteopathic principles, biomechanics, anatomy, and physiology. She completed the program in 2016 and was awarded the Teddy Hall Award of Excellence.

Sarah is inspired by the principles set out by the founder of the profession, Andrew Taylor Still and works towards offering each patient her best.

She received her degree in Health and Gerontology from the University of Waterloo, and worked in multiple Long Term Care homes and other hospital settings. This is what led her to Osteopathy, as she saw many people, especially older adults, who were unable to find the care they required. Osteopathy is the practice of gentle therapy to create balance between the anatomy so the body can self-heal and self-regulate.
