Biodynamic is a rare form of Osteopathy where Science and Art are in perfect integration to create deep access to the body's innate intelligence using only very gentle, light touch. I treat all conditions, from pains and aches to internal organs and emotional problems such as anxiety and depression. As a result, all kinds of patients, from newborn babies to the elderly can benefit from the treatment.
Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine
Courtney Bunn D.O.
Hi I'm Courtney! My journey working in the health and wellness field began in 2011. Osteopathy’s approach to looking at the body with such an in-depth knowledge of anatomy, physiology and collective mechanics, was unparalleled to anything I had learned prior. I was able to obtain results with patients like never before. I began to see the energetic connections to physical ailments and became a Reiki Master. From there, I expanded my studies into Akashic Record reading and most recently. kundalini yoga teaching. Combining these passions and allowing myself to follow the path most aligned has been a powerful experience, and I feel so grateful to be able to share it with you!

Registered Social Worker, Psychotherapist
Daphne Anastassiadis QRP, SW
It can be easy to know the changes you’d like to make in your life, but so tricky to know how to make them. It can seem really overwhelming, especially trying to figure it out on your own. Therapy is a collaborative journey where we work together to resolve conflicts and achieve personal goals. What I bring to your process is a compassionate, objective perspective to help shine the light on old patterns that may be holding you back from a more enriching version of your everyday self. I bring an integrative approach to mental wellness that combines various therapeutic modalities to meet your unique needs. Bringing the practice of mindfulness and meditation, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, and Compassionate Inquiry, my focus is to create a safe, non judgemental space to allow you to connect to your authentic self.

I specialize in working with families and couples, drawing on my training in Attachment, Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to cultivate meaningful, long-lasting connection. Many of us are feeling lonelier than ever, and the weight of uncertainty and the absence of manuals to our relationships is isolating.
