Kristen completed her 4 year Osteopathic education from the Canadian School of Osteopathy in Vancouver in 2023.
Osteopathic care is a holistic, harmonious approach to full mind/body health, that differs based on your unique body.

Recognizing the body’s ability to heal itself and her role in helping to facilitate and support that process, Kristen loves helping people optimize their health and improve their quality of life.
Kristen has also practiced as a Registered Massage Therapist in Vancouver since 2014. She truly loves her work and finds anatomy and physiology endlessly fascinating. She has experience treating a wide variety of conditions and injuries, tailoring your treatment to your individual needs. Using a combination of joint mobilization, muscle energy technique, myofascial release, visceral and craniosacral techniques, the goal of Kristen’s treatment is to encourage self-regulation within the body, reduce pain, restore mobility and improve function.

Shelby has always had a passion for health, wellness, and the human body. After nearly a decade of working in a conventional health care setting and since graduating from Langara College in 2019, she began to realize the impact of the mind-body connection and how important patient empowerment and autonomy is for the healing process.
Shelby’s intuitive and holistic approach addresses both the physical and mental aspects that are present with almost all conditions whether it is an injury, chronic pain, pregnancy-related, day-to-day stress, muscle tension, systemic disease, or mental health disorder and focuses on bringing awareness to the body to not only restore optimal function but also inspire overall well-being to achieve your highest potential. She believes everyone should feel at home in their own body, and that is always her goal.
Shelby personalizes each treatment by employing many modalities in her practice such as myo-fascial release, trigger-point therapy, Swedish massage, pre and post-natal massage, neuromuscular therapy, joint mobilization, muscle energy techniques, and cranial sacral therapy.
In her free time, you can find Shelby participating in activities that ground her such as exploring in nature, practicing yoga and meditation, tackling a new craft, or curled up at home with a good book and her cat.
