I’m more than halfway through my Osteoarticulation Module and scheduled to complete it near the end of January, when I begin the Myofascial Remodeling Module!!

Since mid-December, I’ve been practicing specific joint assessments and biomechanical corrections using safe, targeted manual osteopathic techniques, and I’m now looking forward to incorporating full-body osteoarticulations.

This module has been both challenging and rewarding, with so many new techniques to practice. Client feedback so far has been very encouraging. Thank you to everyone who’s pre-booked for January and is open to letting me practice and integrate what I’m learning!

Word of mouth has been spreading quickly, and I’m so grateful for the trust and support. At this time, I’m not accepting new clients and am focusing on my current clients, scheduling sessions through the existing waitlist.

Thank you for supporting my business!

ISO: The Best Pillow!!

One of the most common questions I get in the clinic is, “What pillow should I be using?”And the honest answer is… it depends on how you sleep!

For side sleepers, a firmer, higher pillow usually offers the best support, paired with a pillow between the knees to keep the hips and spine aligned.

For stomach sleepers, a softer, lower pillow helps prevent excessive neck strain.

For back sleepers, I often suggest a supportive, memory foam type pillow, and placing a pillow under the knees to help support the low back.

Prioritizing quality sleep is one of the most underrated parts of recovery. As we get older, investing in a good pillow makes a noticeable difference for decreasing pain, offering extra comfort while we rest.

If you have a must-have, top pillow recommendation, drop your suggestion in the comments! Those in search of will gladly appreciate it!

I officially received my Student Manual Osteopathic Therapist registration with the Canadian Massage and Manual Osteopathic Therapists Association , along with education, competencies, and student insurance support from Manual Osteopathic College of Canada, ensuring that I am integrating Manual Osteopathy skills safely and correctly.

I also recently renewed my annual Natural Health Practitioners of Canada (NHPC) professional association membership for liability and insurance coverage for Massage Therapy and Myofascial Release.

These credentials protect your safety through recognized insurance and high professional standards, as well as support my commitment to ongoing education and ethical, evidence informed practice. This is also an important step towards my journey of becoming a dual-designated health practitioner, adding an additional billing number for client insurance reimbursement.

Thank you for allowing me to keep doing what I love, and for trusting me as I learn to improve!

As I move through my MOT training, I have started to integrate assessment practice into my sessions. Beginning this week, I may need a few minutes at the start of your appointment to practice specific MOT assessments and techniques. This portion is completely optional, and I’ll always check in with you first if you have the extra time.

I currently have a 30 minute gap between sessions, which gives me 10–15 minutes of available time to build in this practice. Using this time helps me meet my required student hours while also giving you a gradual introduction to the MOT approach.

Each module introduces new material, and I’m noticing a shift toward needing longer appointment times to properly integrate hands-on practice (without running behind, heading back to back into client sessions, or leaving all my laundry and charting for the end of the day….a clear indication that I am not ready, but have decided to start anyway!!) I’ll continue to do my very best to stay on time for all scheduled appointments as I squeeze in extra practice.

Starting in January, I’ll be offering the book-ahead option to add extra time to your appointment for MOT assessment/treatment at no additional charge!

Having extra time built into certain appointments will be essential as I continue developing new skills on real clients (which is ultimately the most effective way for me to learn!)

Thank you so much for your patience, flexibility, and continued support as I move through this next phase of my training. I’m genuinely excited to continue growing and sharing this work with you.

Day 1 of our Osteoarticulation Module was a huge learning day! I left feeling humbled and energized by how connected the human body truly is!

We reviewed how the body adapts to biomechanical stress, from small acute issues to long term patterns that affect spinal motion. It was fascinating to see how one restriction, like L5 not moving well, can create a chain of lumbosacral or pelvic shifts that lead to adaptive (or non-adaptive) compensations throughout the entire body, sometimes showing up far from where the original issue began.

We also practiced assessments that help identify the true source of a restriction. Comparing standing and seated pelvic heights, or using a straight leg raise can quickly show whether something is related to muscles, ligaments, or deeper joint mechanics. I cant wait to practice these assessments on all of you and experience the new insights we will both recieve.

Massage Therapy gave me a strong skillset in understanding the musculoskeletal system and soft tissues. Manual Osteopathy builds on that knowledge by looking much deeper into how the whole body functions together. Learning how fascial pulling patterns, structural imbalances, and even breathing mechanics can influence organ function and overall fluid movement has been so eye opening!!Seeing how all these systems connect gives me a much clearer picture of what the body is trying to adapt to.

The body has an incredible ability to rebalance when the right area is supported, and understanding Manual Osteopathic Therapy a little more each day makes me even more passionate about sharing this treatment approach!

Now that I’ve had time to reflect and process what we’ve covered today, it’s time to decompress and rest up for Day 2 tomorrow. I’m so grateful for this training and excited to keep learning and sharing!

I finally broke up with my toxic printer!

It had more red flags than that multiple-choice portion of my exam 😆

Now I’ve got this humble little EcoTank ET-2400 and my PDFs are printing so well, my ink stays full, and I’m not dealing with paper jam frustrations and rage refreshing the print queue at 11:47pm anymore!

Ahhh the student life. I’m heading into the next module feeling much more grounded and prepared. Affordable, reliable printing absolutely counts as self-care.
