Rather than concentrating solely on symptom management, this approach aims to address the underlying causes.

I was later suffering from a series of concussions from snowboarding and a physically intense lifestyle and was left with years of headaches and brain fog. It was only after I consulted with an osteopathic practitioner that my symptoms went away and that, 5 years after the accidents. From that time onward I knew I wanted to help people the same way I was helped, with an holistic and natural approach.
