Welcome to the Osteopathy Practice Body information page!

My name is Jolene Goldbeck, and I am a fourth-year student at the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy. As I navigate my final year of my education, I am more eager than ever to gain extensive hands-on experience with a diverse range of individuals.

What is Osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a holistic approach to healthcare that uses gentle hands-on manipulation to address asymmetries and dysfunctions within the body's anatomy. By correcting these imbalances, osteopathy can effectively enhance the body's function and improve the ability to perform everyday tasks.

I am currently seeking practice bodies for palpation, assessment, and treatment sessions. If you are interested in participating, please watch the video below and read through the frequently asked questions.

The booking link can be found below the FAQ on mobile devices or beside the FAQ on desktop devices.

Thank you for considering this opportunity!
