Practitioners
Robin Young
Osteopathic Manual Practitioner focused on pediatrics, pregnancy, and fertility, OMP
My job is to facilitate what your body already knows how to do, which is heal naturally. We figure out what has gotten in the way of that healing and relieve it so the healing process may continue.
Gloria Leroy
Osteopathic Manual Practitioner, OMP, Kinesiology
My approach to treatment is conversation based. I listen to a patient’s history to link their symptoms and create a treatment plan. Through a biomechanical assessment, I am able to tailor my approach to best suit the patient’s needs effectively. My hands-on outlook to treatment helps to create a truly personalized experience.
Matthew St. Denis
Osteopathic Manual Practitioner, OMP
My approach begins with understanding that everything is connected, that the body is a dynamic unit of function and that everyone is on their own personal journey. By using principles which govern the body, I work to facilitate change in the structure and function to help the individual’s body self heal and self regulate.
