✨Meet Laura, D.O.M.P, D.Sc.O ✨
We are so excited to introduce the newest member of our team. Laura is an Osteopath and comes to us with years of experience in the field.
In 2002, Laura graduated with a Bachelor of Science, with honours from Dalhousie University in Microbiology and Immunology. Following graduation, she flourished in a successful career in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries for over fifteen years.
Years into that career, something began to eat away and nudge Laura to question if there was more to offer individuals other than medications and symptom management; alternate ways to foster and optimize quality of life and wellness.
It was her own personal experience with this modality called ‘osteopathy’ that no one had heard of, despite its origins from the 1800’s, that led her to apply and embark on one of the most challenging and remarkable experiences of her life at the Canadian College of Osteopathy (CCO). The intensive program was a six year journey, including a thesis and defence in the final year. Laura researched and defended “The Effects of Global Osteopathic Treatment on the
Autonomic Nervous System as Measured by the COMPASS 31 in Hypertension.
Since 2019, Laura has grown a successful home practice beginning with massage therapy, followed by osteopathy in Grimsby, Ontario, where she treated individuals of all ages and conditions (including pregnancy, infants and children). Laura believes it is an honour and privilege to be a part of each individuals’ healing journey.
Laura and her family have recently returned to her roots in Alberta, and are thrilled to be in the Cochrane community. She is an active member of the Alberta Association of Osteopathic Manual Therapists (AAOMT). Laura is extremely passionate about health, diet and movement immersed in nature. Laura is also a trained yoga teacher, and enjoys hiking, long distance running and skiing.
With her sensitive approach, Laura is looking forward to sharing her gifts with this community and collaborating with the exceptional practitioners at Fox Sport and Spine.
