Hi, I'm Katie

Osteopathic Manual Practitioner

M.Ost., M.Sc., B.Sc. (Hons)

I love what I do. I've been helping people feel better 5 days a week since 2016 and I've enjoyed every minute of it.
I moved to England to study at the world-renowned University College of Osteopathy. Training abroad was a no-brainer for me. I wanted to immerse myself in a full-time course and soak up as much clinical training as possible. It was a demanding and rigourous 4 years of study, but I came out the other side with a solid osteopathic foundation and the technical skills needed to achieve results with clients from day 1 in practice.

"I'm devoted to helping you move more freely and without pain."

It's hard not to smile when I'm treating babies.

They experience tight joints and muscles too. These restrictions can contribute to colic and issues with latch and feeding that can be managed with osteopathic care. Paediatrics is a specialty I'm passionate about, which is why I've dedicated over 650 hours of training to helping infants settle into their precious little bodies. I leave every session beaming from cuteness overload.

The most common reason adults book a session with me is for back pain relief. My specialization in helping clients manage sciatica, disc bulges and herniations is grounded in 80 hours of post-graduate training in low back rehabilitation and advanced osteopathic techniques. Supporting clients through recovery and seeing them return to the things they love is why I do what I do.

Can you help with (insert your symptoms here)?

I have treated thousands of different muscular, joint, and skeletal injuries, so the answer is invariably 'Yes!'. If you have a particularly unusual condition that you have questions about, feel free to get in touch at osteokatie@gmail.com or (647) 927-8190. If I can't help, I'll point you in the right direction.
Do I need a referral for osteopathic care?

No, you don't need a referral to book an appointment. Some insurance providers require a referral though, so if you plan to claim through extended health benefits check with them first. You also don't need ultrasound, x-ray or MRI tests before seeing me. If you have access to results from recent imaging bring the reports with you so we can review them.
How many appointments will I need?

It's different for everyone. The number of sessions you need depends on a number of factors that I will screen you for during our first meeting. My aim is to help you understand the root cause of your symptoms and offer advice that will help you recover in as few sessions as possible.
What should I wear to my session?

Think comfortable and stretchy! Wear bottoms you can move easily in and a lightweight t-shirt or tank to get the most out of your session.
What should I bring to my child's appointment?

I want them to feel as comfortable as possible! If that means having their favourite stuffed animal to cuddle then feel free to bring that along. We can't always expect them to be still for the whole session either so bring toys, teethers or books that they like to keep them busy. If you're comfortable with your child watching a show while they're here bring a device for them too.
How much does a session cost?

What forms of payment do you accept?

I accept e-transfers, interac, credit cards and cash.
Is osteopathy covered by my private insurance provider?

Yes, you can claim osteopathy as part of most extended health insurance plans in Ontario. When you pay for your appointment you will receive an invoice with all the details you need to submit your claim. If you're not sure if your plan covers osteopathy check with your insurance provider before scheduling a visit.
Do you offer direct billing?

No, we do not direct bill to insurance companies.
Is parking available?

Absolutely! Street parking is free in front of my house. You're welcome to park in the driveway if there's space too.
Still have questions?

No problem. I'd love to help! Get in touch to find out more.

"I suffered from severe back pain when at it's worst I would be bedridden for 3-4 days. I tried chiropractic and physiotherapy, however the problem would reoccur 6-8 months later. A friend referred me to Katie, and under her care and treatment I have not experienced the inability to walk and my back has been functioning much better for 3 years!"
