Michael holds a Master of Practice Diploma in Osteopathic Manipulative Sciences, earned through the four year program at the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy in Hamilton, Ontario. A new resident to Victoria and British Columbia, he is excited to welcome new patients into his practice and begin working in and serving the local community.

As a graduate of Hamilton’s prestigious Canadian Academy of Osteopathy, Michael spent four years earning his Master of Practice Diploma in Osteopathic Manipulative sciences (M.OMSc), and is a certified member of OsteopathyBC. An extensive and comprehensive knowledge of anatomy and physiology is the cornerstone to his application of osteopathic principles and treatments for clients.

Having suffered an array of injuries and trauma to his body over the years, including a broken back, hernia and multiple concussions and surgeries, Michael’s journey of recovery back to health was marked by many setbacks. It was on this journey that he was introduced to Osteopathy as a modality for full body healing, and its potential for affecting the body’s ability to heal and restore itself from injuries. Once his body had been properly realigned and given the chance to reset and heal, the progress was remarkable. Literally transformed by his experience, the decision was made to pursue Osteopathy as a career.

Drawing from his life experiences, Michael has a deep rooted sense of empathy towards those living in pain and discomfort, and seeks to help others on their road to rehabilitation. As an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner, Michael works as a facilitator to help unlock the body’s amazing capacity to heal and regulate itself, and fully believes in the connection between mind, heart and body.
