Meagan has been registered for both massage and osteopathy with the Canadian Massage and Manual Osteopathic Therapists Association since 2012 and 2020 respectively, and graduated with an honour role status in both her 1180 hour Massage Therapy diploma from Alberta College of Massage Therapy and 1180 hour Osteopathy diploma from the Manual Osteopathic College of Canada,

What Is Osteopathic Therapy?

Osteopathy is a type of manual therapy that promotes healing by focusing on
the skeleton, joints, muscles, nerves, and connective tissue, and optimizes how they all work together. It is the detection and reversal of mechanical and physiological shifts that occur over time. Gentle movements are used to address issues.


Prior to studying Osteopathy, Meagan was an Emergency Medical Responder for one year and was a Registered Massage Therapist for over ten years in Alberta. She still offers Massage Therapy as part of her services. The “Registered” part of this designation is not recognized by BC insurance, however, so the same great massage therapy treatments are offered, but insurance coverage is not recognized for BC residents.

Meagan takes great pride in listening to the clients concerns. She supports goals for people wanting to optimize their health. She can improve discomfort, fascial restrictions, lymphatic blockage and visceral (organ) dysfunctions.

She has HUNDREDS of tools and techniques to bring relief to chronic and acute concerns. She primarily uses her hands to achieve results. By embracing the client as an informed and capable person, and by committing to rigorous assessment and ensuring informed consent is priority, Meagan supports people to make appropriate lifestyle and activity changes, strengthening weak muscles and improving the range of motion in restricted tissues. Anyone can find disease, but the object is to find solutions. This is our Osteopathy Philosophy!
