Are you struggling with pain, instability, low energy, or a loss of freedom, function, balance or coordination? Are you experiencing headaches, congestion, digestive issues, or recovering from surgery, illness or injury? Do you feel like you are experiencing a full expression of your physical self, or more like a shadow of your former physical self? Did you hit a certain age and find yourself asking “what happened”? I’d love to support you to your fullest expression of health, well-being and vitality through gentle manual, cranial and visceral therapy.
I graduated as a DOMP in 2021 from the Canadian School of Osteopathy after an extensive 5.5 year diploma program. I have taken additional training through the CSO in cranial and brain work focused on TBI and concussion recovery, as well as autonomic nervous system regulation and supportive treatment for recovery from fatigue, surgery, illness and injury. I also bring my many years of intuitive and trauma-informed work to my sessions, meaning they bring about healing beyond the physical, with many clients reporting greater clarity, ease, peace of mind and a renewed sense of purpose.
It is my passion to support people to restore their full and healthy expression on all levels. As a fellow equestrian, I specialize in working with horse people to build confidence, coordination and physical freedom in the saddle. That said, I welcome any and all walks of human beings.
I am currently accepting new clients and I hope to work with you soon at my peaceful and accessible home clinic on our 5 acre farm just outside of Duncan, BC. All clients will be provided with a billing number on their receipt to submit with their individual insurance provider. If you have any pet allergies or fear of dogs please email prior to booking your session.
I am so delighted with how I feel after only 3 osteopathy sessions with Alexa. I understand now, that like the work I do, Alexa also focuses on and addresses the underlying causes instead of starting what seems to be the problem.
My experience coming to Alexa for osteopathic treatment has been amazing and I recommend going to anyone who will listen. Alexa has helped me with acute injuries and chronic pain, as well as calming my very amped up nervous system. Most importantly, Alexa has helped me better listen to my body. I’ve seen steady improvement across everything I have struggled with since starting and have found that Alexa’s treatments are longer lasting and more impactful than anything else I’ve tried.
Meet Alexa
BSc. Kin, DOMP
A life-long learner, Alexa brings her curiosity, kind heart and collaborative nature to her diverse body of work. As an osteopathic practitioner (DOMP), Alexa draws on her 15 years of manual therapy and energy work practice to support her clients to feel their best, working from her home studio in Duncan, BC (with a little help from her two dogs and her cat).
Speaking of animals, they are Alexa’s passion, specifically horses, and a core part of her work in the world and her family. From one-on-one intuitive work, to several long-standing online programs and courses, including the Whole Horse Apprenticeship, and a six-season podcast (The Whole Horse Podcast) that supports horse people around the world with collaborative and heart-centred conversations about equine well-being. She is also the author of Death Sucks: A Straight-up Guide to Navigating Your Pet’s Final Transition (find your copy here), a valued contributor to Community Horse Journals, and co-instructor of a comprehensive Equine Cranial Therapy Certification alongside Elisse Miki.
Alexa lives with her partner Patrick, her two dogs Reilly and Solo and cat Makwa, and her two horses Raven and Diva in the Cowichan Valley, unceded territory of the Cowichan peoples, on Vancouver Island. When not working, she can be found at the barn, in the garden, on a dance floor, or out hiking on the beautiful trails this valley has in plenty. She takes steps daily to continue to de-colonize herself and, by extension, the horse industry.
