Emma is passionate about health, well being and the natural perfection of the human body. She has a solid base in science and evidence-based practice as a Physiotherapist (educated in Germany) and an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner (DOMP). Her passion for Osteopathy began in 2004, in Germany where she worked in an Osteopathic clinic as a Physiotherapist specializing in manual therapy. After taking several courses in Cranial Sacral Therapy, Emma decided it was time to pursue her passion for osteopathy and completed her diploma as an osteopathic manual practitioner (DOMP).
Presently, Emma loves to work with clients that feel “stuck” in their healing. Clients who have chronic pain, fatigue, headaches, injury, trauma, stress, brain fog, trouble sleeping and are seeking improvement. Emma believes that pain is an opportunity for change, and through osteopathic techniques, cranial sacral therapy and manual therapy, the underlying cause can be addressed on a deep level.
In addition to her love of science, Emma is passionate about the mind, neuroscience, and the influence that one’s thoughts and emotions have on one’s healing journey. It is through her own dedication to meditation and spiritual practices that she brings her knowledge of mind, spirit, and osteopathy to the table in an artful form of “listening” to what the client’s body has to say. Through this merging of science and spirit, Emma finds her calling to guide others on their journey to health.
She feels honored to share this unique combination of holistic wellness practice.
Emma is a member of the Osteopathy Chronic Pain Clinics of Canada, and The Canadian Alliance for Alternative Medicine (ACMA).
