Stephanie is a Certified Athletic Therapist with 18 years of experience to date. She is a member in good standing of the Athletic Therapist’s Association of BC, the Canadian Athletic Therapist’s Association and a student member of Osteopathy BC.

As an Athletic Therapist, Stephanie has had a widely varied career to date. A graduate of the University of Manitoba’s Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science program with a specialization in Athletic Therapy, Stephanie worked for the Canadian Forces for four memorable years before establishing a private practice in Greater Victoria in 2010. She has worked with people of all ages within the general public, amateur and professional athletes at locations throughout Greater Victoria and Duncan.

For many years Stephanie has been working towards her diploma in Manual Osteopathy at the Canadian School of Osteopathy in Vancouver. This five year-long program facilitated a more refined sense of touch. Every course she attended reignited her passion for the human body and greater awareness that each of us is unique in a myriad of ways. Stephanie completed the five-year-long curriculum and passed the comprehensive written and practical exams several years ago. She’s now awaiting news from the Canadian School of Osteopathy, Vancouver, regarding the additional requirements needed to acquire her designation as an Osteopathic Practitioner.

As a result of Stephanie’s formal education she has a somewhat unique approach to assessing and treating each individual’s aches and pains. As an Athletic Therapist she was taught to prevent, assess and rehabilitate injuries to the “container” (i.e. the body’s structure including bones, joints, muscles, ligaments and connective tissues) while also recognizing injury or trauma to the internal organs. With additional training, Stephanie now approaches the “container”, including the cranium (ie skull), in much greater detail AND assesses the “contents” of each person’s body, albeit externally, such as the internal organs, viscera, nerves and blood vessels. As the human body is so comprehensive, Stephanie believes that addressing the container and the contents must go hand-in-hand in order for the cause of a grievance to be possibly identified and corrected, thereby improving biomechanical and physiological function of the body as a whole. The relationship between the container and its contents is always reciprocal.

Stephanie works from two locations currently, Innerlife Health Services in Royal Oak and Vitality Treatment Centre in Oak Bay.
