Rachael is a graduate of the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy and a member of the Ontario Osteopathic Association. She has also earned a degree in Cognitive Science of Language at McMaster University and has a background in neuroscience, kinesiology and personal training.
Rachael’s initial experiences with osteopathy were as a patient for concussion and sports injuries. Her body was restored to greater health and self-regulation in unexpected and remarkable ways, including and unrelated to the injuries she sought care for. She realized then that this was the career she would pursue to fulfill her passion for health, healing, and helping others.
Each patient has personal and specific needs and challenges. Rachael is dedicated to finding out what is required to achieve better health and self-healing for each individual. Her assessment and treatments are guided by the principles of anatomy and structure function relationships in the body. Her osteopathic treatments find the dysfunction in the body and treat the cause rather than the symptoms of misalignment. All body systems will be considered during treatment, including musculoskeletal, nerve, artery, vein and lymphatic tissues in order for each patient to obtain optimal health through restored motion.
Rachael’s practice is a compassionate, respectful and inclusive space where all are welcome. She is looking forward to working with you!
