Courtney Bunn M.OMSc
Hi, I’m Courtney. I’m multi-passionate in my work, intuitively weaving osteopathy, craniosacral therapy and energy healing into my bodywork sessions. Outside the clinic, I also teach Kundalini Yoga.
My work focuses on strengthening and supporting every aspect of the individual—from body and mind to spirit and energy. Each session is guided by the person in front of me and what they need most in that moment.
I have devoted myself to practices I know can work because I have experienced their transformative power firsthand. From healing an autoimmune condition to moving through debilitating anxiety and panic, I have walked the path I now support others on.
For more than a decade, I have supported patients, clients and students, offering only the tools, modalities and practices I deeply understand. My focus is mastery, and your highest and best healing is always at the centre of my work.

Danielle Smith
(She/Her/Hers)
RMT
A kinesthetic learner and student of life, Danielle understands that the body - each of our beings - is impacted by both internal physiological factors and external structural factors, and that the body holds a deep innate wisdom and resilience toward healing.
Through a harm-reduction framework and creating as much safety as possible, a trauma-informed approach and healing centred focus is integrated into Danielle’s RMT practice. They work collaboratively with each of their clients in an evolving process of treatments based on any given set of circumstances that are being faced.
Danielle’s practice has been grounded in Swedish massage along with myofascial release, trigger point therapy, manual lymph drainage, joint mobilization, and myofascial stretching amongst other techniques. Their work experience ranges from sports massage therapy, to pre- and peri-natal massage, to clinic-based and onsite massage therapy in the sports, corporate, and arts sectors.

Kirsten White
I work with people who have been holding it together for a long time but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected underneath.
Many of my clients are navigating ADHD, complex trauma, anxiety, attachment wounds, and questions around identity and self-worth. I especially support neurodivergent and LGBTQ2IA + folks, including those diagnosed later in life. In our work together, we slow things down and make space for what hasn’t felt safe to feel.
Instead of pushing it away, we get curious about it. Anger and irritation often carry important information, and when it’s acknowledged, it can open the door to grief, clarity, and change.
My approach is psychodynamic, trauma-informed, attachment-based, somatic and intersectional. I don’t rush the process. We move at your pace, staying grounded in what feels manageable for your nervous system.
Together we will establish your north star goals, we will become self archaeologists and we will begin to build the relational scaffolding to start your journey.
I offer a free 20 minute consultation, if your ready, please reach out
