Jeroen
Owner, Osteopathic Manual Practitioner
I love empowering patients to understand their bodies and discover that the body has the ability to heal itself when presented with the opportunity. Through osteopathy, I help adults become pain free so that they can get back to the important things in life; family, friends, and good health. On my own time, I love to get outside, travel, be surrounded by nature as much as I can. Besides that, I recently got married! My wife is my first love, osteopathy is a close second.
Osteopathy forces me to reason, problem solve and explore the 'why' behind the problems my patients experience. Anyone can find disease, but the object of the practitioner should always be to find the cause. This is easier said than done. Osteopathy places this at the forefront of the mind's eye by exploring the relationship between structures and systems rather than exploring symptoms.
I've worked with athletes, seniors, kids, spinal cord injuries, rehabilitation settings, and I opened my own practice specializing in osteopathy in 2023. I live and breathe osteopathy every day. My passion for the body grew into a love for osteopathy. Typically I see between 60-100 patients per week, and I continue to develop my craft by teaching at the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy, as well as by reviewing cases and theoretical concepts on my podcast called An Osteopathic Journey.

Alison
Osteopathic Manual Practitioner
Hey everyone, I’m Alison! It is a privilege to have this opportunity to support you
on your health journey, and I look forward to getting to know you while we work
together to make you feel more in tune with your body.
I was naturally led to osteopathy through my lifelong passion for movement and
caring for others. I am fascinated by the body’s ability to self-regulate and heal,
and I enjoy working through complex problems to understand the underlying
factors contributing to discomfort and dysfunction. Throughout my education, I learned to look at the body as a dynamic unit of function that, in the right conditions, works in perfect unison. Through over 1500 hours of hands-on clinical training and an intensive study of anatomy and physiology, I have developed the skills to find restrictions within the body that are creating dysfunction, which I apply to my practice every day.
Outside of practice, I enjoy travelling, spending time with family and friends,
reading, playing music and exploring the beauty in the world that is so often
overlooked. I especially love spending time in and connecting with nature, which
has allowed me to deepen my understanding of osteopathic principles and the
importance of viewing the body through the lens of natural law and its inherent
capacity for change, growth, and adaptation.
Osteopathy is both a career and a passion for me. It allows me to continue
learning and growing throughout my life, both as a practitioner and as a person.
Most importantly, I find immense joy in seeing my patients leave the clinic feeling
more like themselves and getting back to enjoying the important things in life. I
hope to see you soon!
