Meet the Osteopath at Back To Health Chiropractic

Several years ago I began thinking about a career change. I saw how Glenn was able to help people in his profession as a chiropractor and wanted to do something similar. It was Glenn who suggested looking into osteopathy as a profession. From my education and work in the medical field over the last decade, I had a strong knowledge of anatomy and clinical medicine so I was allowed to start the program right away. Although I had already completed three degrees with 7 years of university education, I decided to go back to school for 6 more years to become an osteopath!

I’ll admit that before I entered the program, I didn’t quite realize what I was getting myself into or the impact it would have on my life both professionally as well as personally. It has been however, one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. When Glenn and I had our first son Max we knew that we wanted him to have a brother or sister. But after a few years of trying, we began to give up hope and accept the fact that Max was going to be an only child. At the same time I was learning about osteopathy and how we can help people feel and function better. I realized that I needed to have osteopathy treatment.

I didn’t just feel a little better – I felt a lot better! Better than I had felt in years. I didn’t go to my osteopath for fertility treatment but to my shock and surprise however, I was pregnant, naturally, just a few months later!

I continued to see the osteopath for treatment and found that I had a better pregnancy and a faster recovery after delivery. I also brought the baby in for treatment as soon as possible. Along with regular chiropractic care, both my boys see an osteopath for regular check ups.

I’m very grateful to my husband for starting me down this path and being supportive through my years of study to become an osteopath. I look forward to many years of helping people move, feel and function better.
