Hi friends!💜

If you are looking for some basic information about my Manual Osteopathy services, start swiping! 📲

If you have a question that doesn’t fall into any of these slides, simply message me to chat💬

Did you know you do not need a referral to see a manual osteopath?🙌 and in most cases services are covered by extended health care benefits.📄

This means you can start with your treatments whenever you are ready!💜

However, some health insurance providers have specific referral requirements or policies. It is always recommended to check with our insurance provider prior to your appointment. 🧐

I personally am an active member in good standing with the
National Manual Osteopathic Society and my services are covered by most extended health care providers👌

Happy Friday!👊

NEW YEAR, NEW SERVICE!

OSTEOPATHY + MOVEMENT! You can now get the most out of your manual osteopathy sessions by combining them with movement to support your treatment plan.

Our bodies are made to move, and allow us to participate in activities of daily life. It is important to make sure we nourish the relationship between our structure & function, and this is done through movement.

If you are struggling with your homework or need accountability, these sessions are for you. Together we will work through your movement plan, which will include a combination of mobility exercise, functional rehab exercises, strength and conditioning, mindfulness and breathing exercises.

New Year, New Service, New Plan......I got you.

💻 Services now available for booking at balancedbylaura.ca or link in bio.

I GET IT!💜

These are my favourite reviews to get🥰 when you know you have connected with a client. My role as your manual therapist is to not only treat your body, but help you understand and connect with your own body: its movements, its abilities, its restrictions, its pain or discomfort or just understanding the “feeling” you have. I can help, I’ve got you💜

There are a few weeks left to take advantage of your benefits and plan for a healthy 2024. Book your healing time💜

Everyone loves and Osteo, but what exactly is Manual Osteopathy?✨

Here is a simple breakdown of my services and how I can help you💜

Photos from Balanced.by.laura's post 26/09/2023

Hi everyone!👋 I thought it would be a great time to re-introduce myself, my services and what I will be up to now that I have settled into our new life here on PEI!🦞

My name is Laura and I recently moved to PEI from Ontario with my husband, two kids, cat and new puppy! I may be “from away” but I have spent a lifetime of summers growing up in Stanhope with my family🏖️

I am a Manual Osteopath & Movement Specialist with over 20 years of rehab experience. I earned a Bachelors Degree in Kinesiology & Health Sciences and practiced as a Registered Kinesiologist under the mentorship of .felix at . I eventually went on to become co-owner of this successful multidisciplinary clinic which included a team of Physiotherapists, Pelvic Health Physiotherapist, Massage Therapists, Chiropractors, Psychotherapists, and kinesiologists💚

My Manual Osteopathy services include manual therapy combined with movement. These treatments help to decrease pain, improve range of motion, correct posture and improve overall body function. I have a strong focus on women's health, pelvic health, lower back pain, neck pain, headaches & migraines. all while calming the nervous system to help the body maintain a neutral state, in which it can heal, repair and move🤸‍♀️Find me in East Royalty & !

In addition to my Osteo practice I am so excited to launch .PEI 🧘‍♀️ is a mobile evidence-based movement & mindfulness enrichment program for kids. Our tagline is “Positivity & Movement for Busy Minds” as we aim to improve physical, mental, and emotional health through our curriculum 💜 Little Yogis provides mindful movement instruction, mental health and wellness classes and workshops for everyone within the school and childcare community including students, school administrators, teachers and parents💜

Little Yogis Academy believes that by integrating yoga, mindfulness, wellness, and resiliency techniques into their lives, we can empower children to cultivate a positive self-image, develop a strong sense of well-being, and foster a deep-rooted confidence in themselves💜

I can’t wait to connect with you,
Healthy Vibes Only💜
