Growing up I was an avid basketball player, I could always be found shooting hoops, lifting in the gym or running on the track. My identity revolved around being an athlete. In high school I suffered devastating injuries to both of my knees. At the time these injuries felt like a death of my former self, now I realize it was the catalyst to discovering my passion for healing the body.

I worked as a Personal Fitness Trainer for six years before deciding to go back to school to study Massage Therapy. I immediately fell in love with massage. The body is so intriguing and I am fascinated by client’s responses to various treatments and modalities.

I am a ferocious learner with a desire to continue to understand the latest research in soft tissue treatments, pain science, and orthopedic assessments. Most recently I completed my Manual Osteopathic training, it is an honour to share my passion with all those who enter my treatment room.

Melanie is registered with the College of Acupuncturists of Alberta and The Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture Association of Canada; she brings vibes from coast to coast! And, literally, she has lived from Prince Edward Island to Vancouver Island!

​My acupuncture and herbal medicine journey started at Pacific Rim College in Victoria, BC, where I delved into a full-time postgrad acupuncture program and Western herbalism courses. I also studied Holistic Nutrition through the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition. But it didn’t stop there! I’ve got my hands full—literally—as a master-level Reiki practitioner with a ton of certificates in energy, bodywork, nutrition, herbal medicine, and even the magical world of essential oils.

​My passion is fuelled by helping folks connect the dots between mind, body, and spirit. Lately, I’ve been diving deep into merging Western herbalism and aromatherapy with the ancient wisdom of Traditional Chinese medicine. It’s like finding the perfect blend of old-school magic and modern mojo!

My own personal growth as a manual therapist has spanned nearly 20 years. I started out in massage therapy, then delved into Upledger CranioSacral Therapy which I have been practicing since 2009. The vast healing potential of CranioSacral Therapy is what drew me to practice body work in the first place. After conventional medical care, physiotherapy and chiropractic treatment did not alleviate the symptoms I was experiencing following numerous concussions, a broken neck and other injuries, mainly from contact sports, it was CranioSacral Therapy which helped restore my health. The “magic” which I experienced from such a gentle, relaxing, therapeutic modality was immediate and lasting, with each treatment peeling away layers of dysfunction.

Being able to provide similar results for my own clients is incredibly rewarding, and my understanding of how it works has transformed CranioSacral Therapy from “magic” to applied science, where I’m facilitating the release of often deeply held physical restrictions and supporting the body’s own regenerative functions. By also therapeutically holding space and treating the whole person, not just their symptoms, I am able to address the unique nature of an individual’s patterns. Debilitating symptoms from various injuries and conditions can be resolved in this way, even ones that people have been living with for years.

In several months I will also start offering manual osteopathic treatments, as I am currently completing the final semester of my 4 year diploma program from the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy. Classical osteopathy is a principles based approach to determining the causes of mechanical and physiological dysfunction, then treating them to restore the body’s ability to self-heal and self-regulate. What drew me to osteopathy was seeing the tremendous results of this approach first-hand, as well as how it would offer me a unique method of addressing complex structural compensation issues. When the body’s ability to compensate for the wear and tear we put on it becomes compromised from injuries, repetitive strain, or functional changes from aging and disease it can lead to persistent pain and other symptoms affecting muscles, fascia, joint mobility, as well as the cardiovascular, nervous, digestive, and endocrine systems (among others). Osteopathy is particularly adept at treating such issues. I am excited to soon be able to share this in my practice.
