Osteopathy is an amazing tool to journey into real life pain and trauma. Pain, fear, sickness and illness can not exist when we are in full alignment physically, mentally and spirituality. #healingfromwithin #osteopathy #osteopathyvaughan #healing #trauma #pain

This busy little one was here to treat ongoing congestion concerns. There's a lot an osteopathic manual practitioner can do to treat common challenges that children face. Treatments for allergies and congestion, reflux, digestive concerns or repeated infections such as ear or throat infections are very effective. Infants and children respond extremely well to osteopathic treatment. It's gentle, so they like it. Many of my little clients ask to come back again!! Btw..the ...paper towel helped keep him occupied!! #osteopathy #osteopathyforchildren #cranialsacraltherapy #healthychildren #osteopathicmanualpractitioner #visceralmanipulation #osteo #keepchildrenhealthy #childrenshealth #treatmentforchildren

Just days before on my own personal healing journey from trauma I worked on the emotion and feeling of panic... then God gave me this. I discovered I held panic deep in my memories, deep in my subconscious and deep in my nervous system. A memory emerged for me, a time as a child on a rollercoaster feeling so scared, unsafe, and "oh God I can't stop this from happening..." I don't panic often thankfully, but the feeling felt familiar to me. When we start to do the work, we c...an start to see how feelings around certain past experiences spill into other aspects of life. They may shape our understanding, reactions and sense of self however untrue and unrealistic it may be. When we make a conscious decision and effort to heal from our trauma the universe will provide opportunities to heal. Doors will open, people will come into your life, or something unimaginable could happen. On this day, God gave me a "redo". It was much gentler (not as scary), I had the support of my family cheering me on, and this time I could tell myself that I was safe. It felt good! Everyone's journey is different, with the right people, professionals and practices nothing is impossible. #Osteopathy #cranialsacraltherapy #heal #healfromwithin #healfromtrauma

Mainstream scientists and conventional medicine clings to the idea that race is biologically real. False beliefs in physical racial differences still exists in medicine today. In reality we are all far more alike than different. A call to all my colleagues and fellow Manual Osteopaths who know better!! Let's continue to treat everyone with love and respect and offer the best possible care to show the world what healing can look like ... @blackandembodied @jessicawilson.msrd #amplifymelanatedvoices #Osteopathy #manualosteopathy #wholeness #bethechange #humanbeing

Osteopathy can help with your Allergies Osteopathic approaches play an effective role in the management of allergic rhinitis based on: biochemical, respiratory-circulatory, metabolic, and behavioral approaches. Rhinitis also known as hay fever or inflammation of the nose includes signs and symptoms such as runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, red, itchy, and watery eyes, and swelling around the eyes.... Allergic rhinitis is primarily an immunologic reaction causing secretions from the lymphatic system. Several studies have shown that when manually manipulated the lymphatic system enhances the motion of lymphocytes to important immune structures. Additionally, changes to the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system outflow can enhance or inhibit secretion and/or drainage of important allergic sites. #Osteopathy #allergyseason #allergies #osteopathicmanualpractitioner #vaughanmoms #Craniosacraltherapy #visceralmanipulation #wellnessjourney #bewell #hayfever #sinusitis #sinus #sinusinfection

We all feel misalignment in our bodies. It can feel like joint and muscle pain, or cause migraines, allergies, poor digestion, urogenital issues and more. My role as your Osteopathic Manual Practitioner is to find the true causes of your pain and dysfunction. It may have started with a trauma, physical or emotional, a visceral restriction (organ dysfunction) or a dysfunction in perhaps the immune system or central nervous system. ... The Osteopathic principal is that structure will govern function. With gentle osteopathic manual manipulation, structure may be corrected and function will be restored. #Osteopathy #painfree #manualosteopath #therapistinvaughan #visceralmanipulation #cranialsacraltherapy #feelingwhole #allergyseason

It's no surprise that pain can affect our emotional and mental well being. Mental illness can also cause bodily symptoms, including pain. Choose Osteopathy and address all of your wellness needs. Osteopathic treatments are covered by your extended health care benefits. ... #Osteopathy #wellnessjourney #wholeness #osteopathicmanualpractitioner #backpain #reducepain

Visceral Manipulation helps to alleviate organ dysfunction that can present as musculoskeletal pain often in the low back, neck, SI joints and hips.

Happy Mother's Day ...God as Divine Mother ever watches over Her human children, peeping through the caring hearts of all true mothers. God's unconditiona...l mercy is expressed in the mother. The mother's instinctive love and forgiveness, no matter what her child has done, shows us that God will ultimately forgive the sins of all human beings.... as the Mother Divine waiting to forgive all and take them back after their freewill wanderings on the error-strewn pathways of incarnations. - Paramahansa Yogananda

Do you ever wish you could react differently to stress? Maybe we shut down, disassociate, or get angry. Whatever it is, this is not because of our lack of trying or understanding. Our actions have become an embedded physiological response and are clearly beyond the ability of rational control. Unprocessed stress has become traumatic memory and lives in your nervous system!! It started in childhood, a time when perhaps you felt unsafe, unloved, not enough or abandoned etc. W...e likely didn't feel supported and the feelings were never resolved. A present day trigger can then cause these stored feelings to resurface. We then have only one reaction that we are capable of, even when it's not warranted. Understanding what is happening inside our body and brain gives us compassion. Learning why our body responds the way it does, leads to awareness and empowerment. The work is then to re-train!! It takes hard work but you are rewarded by every minute you put into it Holding space and releasing deep emotions are things that you can learn to do with help. Cranial Sacral Therapy allows you to connect to your body in a very deep and powerful way, it creates a space and gives you the tools to release If you are looking for transformation Osteopathy can help. #Osteopathy #cranialsacral #Craniosacraltherapy #holistictherapy #mentalhealth #feelingwhole #feelingloved #feelingsafe #transition

The complexity of the brain/body connection is made so simple here by my son at 5 years old . Apparently he gets it!! He wrote below the picture "my brain controls my body." Your brain and spinal cord make up your central nervous system and so is connected to everything that goes on in your body. Fuctional systems like immune, hormones, reproduction and digestion to name a few are all controlled by our central nervous system. Right down to our thought patterns, reactions... to stress and overall emotional responses. Conversly, the way our body feels will effect our brain and it's function. Bringing our body into balance can therfore affect so many functions as well, and improve things like brain fog, our mood and help us to feel more emotionally sound. Osteopathic treatments support and treat the central nervous system manually so it can function at it's best!!

MANUAL THERAPY CAN INCREASE YOUR SUCCESS OF IVF TO 71% With a total annual budget of 70 million, the Ontario Government funds 5000 IVF cycles per year. That is one IVF cycle per lifetime for women who have an OHIP card and are under 43 years old, and for single men or men in same-sex partnerships of any age who have an OHIP card.... One IVF cycle can cost between $10,000 - 20,000. Most woman will report having done more than one IVF cycle at their own expense to conceive. Assisted Human Reproduction (AHR) can be a risk to the mother and fetus, and may leave a family and the health care system burdened with complications. There are more natural, safer, affordable and effective options that alternative forms of healthcare offer. When we carefully consider the cause of infertility, manual therapy can greatly effect the success of pregnancy. The success of IVF: 43% for women under 35 years old. 34% for women aged 35-39 years. 18% for women 40 years old and over. MANUAL THERAPY CAN INCREASE YOUR SUCCESS OF IVF by 71% or by 1 and a half times. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1395760/ Be sure to always get the right and real facts: https://cfas.ca/canadian-art-register.html The Canadian Fertility and Andrology Society. #fertility #fertilityhealth #manualtherapy #infertilityawareness #fertilityjourney #Osteopathyforfertility

FERTILITY CHECK LIST Here are a few "Fertility Checks" that you can begin with. Ask your doctor (GP) for these tests if you are suspecting fertility challenges. If your Doctor agrees that these test can be helpful, try to use blood and ultrasound labs that may be affiliated with fertility clinics. It will be helpful in their reporting and experience. 1. FSH - This is a blood test. FSH is a hormone responsible for the growth of ovarian follicles. Should be done on day 3 of you...r cycle. 2. Angio Follicle Count - This is a transvaginal ultrasound. It measures a woman's ovarian reserve, or her remaining egg supply. It will check ovaries and ovary volume. Should be done at beginning of cycle. 3. Anti-Müllerian hormone - The level of AMH in the blood can help estimate the number of follicles inside the ovaries, and therefore, the woman's egg count. 4. Monitor your Cycle - Ovulation kits are available and helpful for timing! 5. Sperm - Your partner or donor should also be evaluated. About 32% of infertility is a male factor. Although preliminary, these test may guide you in what steps to consider. If you have questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I am here to help. Everyone's fertility journey is very different but I think we can all agree that knowledge is power! #naturalfertility #manualtherapy #womanempowerment #womanshealth #Osteopathyforfertility #fertility #craniosacraltherapy

During these times it so difficult to stay connected especially when we are dealing with overwhelming feelings of sadness and anxiety. However, when we are disconnected our children (or loved ones) may feel lost or confused. Staying connected helps us to feel grounded and safe. It's about tuning in to our physical body and hopefully our emotional body in a healthy, loving and caring way. It can also mean feeling connected to our faith and nature. The limbic system is a set... of structures in the brain that deal with emotions and memory. It regulates the nervous system or hormoanl function in response to emotional stimuli and also is involved in reinforcing behavior. Let's give our children a healthy start of emotional wellbeing, regulation and responses!! #stayconnected #feelingwhole #cranialsacraltherapy #meditation #mentalhealth

We don't always realize that symptoms of headache, migraines, nausea, eye pain, vertigo, or specific neuralgia like burning mouth syndrome, could have come from dental work like extractions, bridges and root canals or reoccuring infections in the mouth. Other causes could be facial trauma, surgeries or concussion. Keeping in mind the intricacies of our neurological system, my experience with treating cranial and facial nerves can help alleviate even the most complex pain. ... Please reach out to me for an appointment or a consultation. #Osteopathy #nervepain #manualtherapy #migraines #headache #dentalwork

Osteopathy can be the road to self discovery. It is a way to connect to pain and trauma and all of it's physical manifestations. To release them for good and achieve growth.

When it comes to neck pain, often the problem is weakness and not tightness. Muscles that are overworked will feel tight however they are compensating for those that are weak. So let's focus on the cause and not just the pain. To follow up on my previous post, these exercises will help strengthen your neck muscles safely. While you are doing these always try to maintain your best posture so we can start to retrain your brain and muscles!! In the first exercise the goal is a... full side bend of your head. Bring your head from the floor to side bent position in the opposite direction. In the second exercise you are rotating your head. Therefore, from a position of looking left to looking right. These will be difficult when you first start out, so don't overdo it! Start with about 10 each side. Don't forget to lay on your other side to do both sides equally. See more

Forward head posture could be creating your headaches and neck soreness!! More tv and screen time will cause our necks and upper backs to weaken and change posture. Notice in the first collage the curvature in my upper back, the angle of my chin (a bit down) and the muscle strain in the from of my neck (circled in red). These are all incorrect. To correct this, engage your upper back muscle and posterior neck muscles to pull your head back to better position. In the second ...collage the curve in my upper back is reduced, my chin raises a tiny bit and there is less strain on the front muscles of my neck. Your posterior muscles should be doing the work! Be sure not to "tuck your chin" too much! As demonstrated in the last picture. Do not force your chin downwards, this creates a straight necks and can cause other issues. Either hold the corrected position for 30-40 sec at a time or do the exercise in sets of 20 reps. Repeat 4 times. Let me know if you have any questions!!

I'm giving this book a try!! Seems like a great resource to help children understand their emotions. Perhaps if children can learn to identify with how they are feeling, be able to express it soundly and know that it's normal for them to feel the way they do, we can raise more emotionally sound children It also offers coping mechanism and activities to practice! Imagine where we could all be if we had the skills to manage our own emotions so early on in life? #healingh...ands #osteopathy #alternativemedicine #healthychildren #healthymindset See more

We have a responsibility toward our patients to provide an environment where they feel comfortable and secure. We must be good listeners and ask the RIGHT questions before the treatment even begins.

I'm experiencing first hand the power of Osteopathy post surgery!! I had ACL replacement surgery using donor tissue. A cadaver achilles tendon now makes a very strong ligament in my knee. Dr. Ogilvie-Harris (Toronto Western Hospital) did amazing work, removing loose bodies from the joint and addressing some cartilage issues. He gave me an A+ hitting 6 week markers at only 10 days post surgery!! ... My little healers in training are helping tremendously... most of the time

We keep busy at Rebound Therapy Physical activity is important for our body, brain, and emotional wellbeing. Obstacle courses!!!

When we start to see trauma in our bodies as a physical pattern, a possible torsion or twist we can then understand how deep we need to go to release it. The right treatment will achieve these deep releases that will prompt your body to heal in unimaginable ways. The pictures below show what it looks like to have a restriction or dysfunction deep in your dura or meningeal system. Many of us have these restrictions, they are the tightnesses and pulls we always feel and haven'...t quite been able to get rid of! Book a treatment with me today!! #crainalsacraltherapy #osteopathy

I had the pleasure of teaching Cranial Osteopathy for 3 whole days!! I really enjoy teaching what I love and what I use in my practice with clients everyday. Cranial Osteopathy or better known as Craniosacral Therapy is a valuable tool allowing Manual Osteopathic Practitioners to treat trauma and injury deep in our central nervous system. It is widely used to treat concussions, neurological disorders, migraines, neck pain, sinus trouble and so much more. ...

Alternative treatments for ADD: Did you know CranioSacral Therapy (CST) can have a profoundly positive effect on brain and spinal cord function? It has been use...d successfully in the treatment of attention deficit disorder (ADD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) since 1975. Consider giving alternative therapies a second look after reading this article on how CST can help release restrictions to naturally enhance brain function, decrease levels of ADD and ADHD, and in many cases, alleviate the disorders altogether. http://bit.ly/2OiKAHt

Pretty accurate drawing for a 6 year old!! My son drew this picture of the brain and spinal cord. I'm not sure where or how he learned to draw it so well I guess Osteopathy is rubbing of on him ... By the way... he loves Osteopathic treatments and so will you!

Another little snippet for my Osteo friends!! Treatment for the trigeminal nerve is indicated with symptoms from dental work, infections, neuritis, concussions, migraines and more. Keep in mind lots of work was done before this specific technique to prepare the nerve.

WHY CONSIDER OSTEOPATHY? Precise palpation (touch) is the key to Cranial Osteopathy or Craniosacral Therapy. Knowing our anatomy and being sure of what we are feeling under our hands is what separates Manual Osteopaths from the rest!! Then, we mechanically address what is being compressed or what is not mobile (not moving). Changes are lasting and symptoms go away. We can address nerves and organs in this way so even the most complex cases can be treated. Contact me to book... your treatment!! #manualosteopath #craniosacraltherapy

MOBILIZATION OF THE CRANIAL NERVES... the possibilities are endless. A great course with one of my favorite teachers, Anne Hartley!! Got to see some old classmates too ... #cranialosteopathy #athletictherapist #manualosteopath
