Massage therapy is something I have always done, though it was not always a passion. Growing up on a farm you see many people get injured and keep working through it, someone has to feed the horses. As soon as my mom realized I could give pretty good massages it became pretty standard for me to massage her neck or back at bedtime. As I got older we didn’t do this as much and I forgot about the power of massage.
When it came time to choose a career I started looking into pharmacology and anaesthesiology. Neither one felt quite right, partly because I didn’t love the idea of doling out medications all the time and partly because I’m bad at math. Then I discovered the connection: I wanted to help people manage their pain, but I wanted to do it more naturally.
I graduated from the Massage Therapy program at Algonquin College in 2018 and have loved my profession ever since. My goal is to keep people doing what they love, helping them return to activity after injuries and surgeries. I love learning new techniques and have added cupping therapy, scar and post-surgical work, perinatal care, knowledge of the pelvic floor (and how it affects function), and some understanding of fascial lines. My style tends to be focused and goal-oriented with a deeper pressure but I am versatile and meet my patients where they are. I aim to provide a safe and inclusive space for all. I can’t wait to meet you and help you achieve your goals!

As a former professional dancer (BFA- Contemporary Dance 2012 Concordia University) and yoga instructor (Yoga Source 2008), Kaylene has a broad knowledge and understanding of the mechanics of the body. Her interest in Manual Osteopathy flourished after working as a traction therapist in a chiropractic environment. After graduating from the National Academy of Osteopathy in 2015, Kaylene worked between Dublin and London as a Manual Osteopath before setting out to bring her talents home to Ontario.
Not one body is the same as the next- this means you can typically find Kaylene taking a broad range of courses to add to her repertoire of techniques.

Osteopathy…
I first learned about Osteopathy when a friend recommended I see one. At the time I had been living with back pain for two years and had not found relief through other forms of treatment. After my first treatment, I considered my Osteo a miracle man and began researching how I could help people in the same way.
In 2022 I completed the comprehensive four-year osteopathic education program through the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy (CAO) in Hamilton, Ontario. Graduating with a Masters of Practice Diploma in Osteopathic Manual Sciences (M.OMSc).
Nutrition..
In my mid-twenties I was told I would be on medication for life. In response, I became a Holistic Nutritionist and learned how to manage physical symptoms through what I put in and on my body.
In 2012 I graduated with Honours from the Institute of Holistic Nutrition as a Certified Nutritional Practitioner. I am also a certified Metabolic Balance Coach and am currently enrolled in the Culinary Nutritionist Expert Program.
Prior to studying osteopathy, I spent 18 years in Corporate Finance. I resigned from the role as a Director of Finance to pursue a career where I could make a personal difference to others in a quest for health.
I am also certified as an Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Clearing Work, and Tao Healing Hands Practitioner with a growing interest in trauma-informed work and Human Design (2/4 Emotional ManGen). In 2021 I became a Best Selling author, coauthoring the book Wounds to Wisdom.
I live in Newmarket with my two beautiful kids and puppy. I am generally active and love to play sports.
