Claire believes that health is found in the body when there is proper movement and alignment of all structures. She uses gentle yet effective treatment applications to calm the nervous system, unwind tension, and ensure that all parts of the body are well aligned and moving smoothly. Her goal in treatment is to free the nerves, blood vessels, and lymphatic fluid going to and from all the soft tissue, joints, and organs to allow for optimal function of the body as a whole.
Claire completed her training in classical osteopathy at the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy in Hamilton which follows a principles based curriculum. This allows her to create individualized treatments for each patient, specific to what their body needs. Instead of focusing on treating specific conditions, she focuses on elevating the overall health of the entire body of each individual. The body has an innate ability to self-heal and self regulate, which can be disrupted by imbalances in the structure that then affects its function. By balancing the tension throughout the body, Claire can help you on your journey to better health.
Prior to completing her osteopathic training, Claire studied Kinesiology at Queen’s University and worked as a personal trainer for many years. This began her curiosity, amazement, and respect for how the intricate systems of the human body work together to maintain health. Outside the clinic, Claire enjoys spending time hiking, skiing, kayaking, and exploring small towns looking for cute cafes, forever in search of the best chai latte.
