Michelle Sands, D.O.

​

Michelle worked for 20 years as a yoga teacher and Pilates instructor, where she specialized in working with clients with chronic pain, injuries and illness. This love of movement and meditative practice forms the foundation of her work as an osteopath.  She believes deeply in the intelligence of the human body and works with care and respect for each of her clients.

​

Michelle completed her B.SC. in Applied Zoology at McGill University in 2000, before pursuing her studies at the College d'Études Ostéopathique de Montréal.  Her second cycle work focused on the role of osteopathy in stroke rehabilitation.  Since, she has completed specialized courses in the areas of pregnancy, paediatrics,  geriatrics, chronic pain and four levels of  specialized training focused on the brain (endocranial spasms level one to four).  

 

She continues to be in love  with the natural world, which is in part what prompted her move to  what might be seen as an unusual space for an osteopathy clinic - above the stables at an equestrian centre.  She knows first had the healing power of nature and our connection with animals.  Her two dogs, Lily and Penelope often join her at work.
