Anna studied to become a Registered Massage Therapist 2012 in Toronto, Ontario. Her deep interest in Anatomy led her to become a Yoga teacher with Modo Yoga, training in Los Angeles, California within the following year. The two practices complimented and reflected each other in their ability to bring harmony and relief to the body. However, neither Massage therapy nor yoga practice alone was able to bring long-term relief to those patients that had chronic dysfunctions. Osteopathy was the missing link. Where massage ends at soft tissue manipulation, Osteopathy picks up and goes deeper into the manipulation of joints, muscles and bones. Osteopathic treatment aims to positively affect the body’s nervous system, circulatory, and lymphatic systems which will consequently help restore the body’s mobility. Anna combines her knowledge and ties all three of the practices together in a treatment that to optimize the functioning of the human body. Anna is the co-founder and clinic director of OSTEO+ chronic pain and wellness clinic. She holds a diploma in Osteopathy Manual Practice (DOMP) from the National Academy of Osteopathy and a diploma in Massage Therapy from Elmcrest college of massage and hydrotherapy. She is a graduate from Modo Yoga International Teacher training program. She is a member of the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CMTO) as well as the Ontario Osteopathic Association. She specializes in Cupping Therapy and Myofascial release.

Erik started his Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) journey after multiple injuries skiing, amazed by its effectiveness. Along the way he found that it not only helped his sports injuries and pain, but sleep, digestion, stress levels and emotions. In addition to his 6 Year advanced diploma from 8 Branches Academy and 2-month internship in China, he completed his Bachelor of Arts at York University in Religious Studies.

Taking a hands-on approach, Erik’s tools of the trade are Acupuncture and Tui Na (therapeutic massage). Treatments may be accompanied by cupping and a heat lamp is often utilized for its therapeutic benefits and comfort. Erik can also make lifestyle and dietary recommendations in accordance with TCM principles.

TCM treats the body and mind as a whole, and takes into account everything to guide treatments. Therefore, on your first treatment, a full body system review and health history is conducted, including your tongue and pulse as a diagnostic tool. A treatment plan is formed and together we’ll work as a team to improve your health.

After travelling and exploring, Erik has moved back from British Colombia to be closer to friends and family. When Erik isn’t in clinic, you will find him in the garden, walking/hiking, on his motorcycle, or supporting Liverpool F.C. - “You’ll Never Walk Alone”.
