Madison’s passion to work with people to achieve their health and wellness goals led her to complete an Honours Bachelor of Health Sciences degree specializing in Kinesiology at Ontario Tech University. Throughout her undergraduate studies, Madison developed a background in anatomy, physiology, nutrition, strength training and biomechanics, which led her to pursue a job opportunity in a multi-disciplinary clinic, where she gained experience working alongside Physiotherapists, Chiropractors and Massage therapists.

As a Kinesiologist, Madison did a lot of work in retirement homes, working with seniors and helping her clients with strength and balance training, and education regarding health, wellness and longevity. This position challenged her to work with people of all abilities and ensure that she had customized training programs specific to the individual needs and requirements of her clients. This experience encouraged her to explore other avenues of healthcare and rehabilitation, leading her to Osteopathy, an all-encompassing approach to treating the body.

Madison completed her osteopathic education at the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy obtaining a Master’s in practice Osteopathic Manipulative Sciences. Here, she studied principle-based classical osteopathy which taught her a way to assess and move through the body rhythmically looking for structural discord, working with the body to remove restrictions. When movement is improved the arterial, venous, lymphatic and nervous systems are able to function optimally. This puts the body in a better position to self-heal and self-regulate, and ultimately provides an improved quality of life.

Madison is passionate and excited to use her skills to support her community, she is dedicated to help her patients achieve their goals through osteopathic treatment and looks forward to helping you on your journey to wellness.
