Osteopathy is a holistic approach to healthcare that emphasizes the musculoskeletal and nervous system's role in overall well-being. It involves manual techniques to treat and prevent health issues, considering the interconnectedness of the body's structures.

Embracing three main philosophies, the practice of osteopathy considers the body as a whole unit, initiating and enhancing its ability to self heal and regulate, as well as addressing any functional and structural concerns.

Many Pediatric concerns are unique to small children, making the application of Manual Osteopathic techniques a safe and effective option in helping to manage different concerns you might be working through with your child.

Nicole is trained in Contemporary Acupuncture with McMaster University. The Contemporary Medical Acupuncture Program is skill-based, clinically oriented, with the devotion to practical workshops on neurofunctional acupuncture and electroacupuncture, surface anatomy palpation, needle insertion skills, anatomy laboratory, condition-specific blueprint treatment design, special techniques workshops, and treatment of live cases.

Contemporary Medical Acupuncture is mechanism-based, not disease-based. Therapeutic goals and treatment targets are selected based on the identified neurological dysfunctions contributing to the clinical presentation of the symptoms. Sometimes Contemporary Medical Acupuncture treatments result in transient amelioration or disappearance of the symptoms, and other times results in permanent resolution of the dysfunction, especially when dysregulation of the nervous system was the underlying pathophysiological mechanism.

Nicole incorporates her contemporary acupuncture training in her massage therapy treatments when indicated.
