National Academy of Osteopathy (Canada) is the main reason for the international expansion of osteopathy since 2010. It is thanks to NAO that millions of people worldwide in Africa, Asia, and elsewhere have now access to this amazing miraculous health care.
From its inception, NAO has provided leadership in scientific; evidence-based manual osteopathic education. Our proud traditions of academic and clinical excellence—preparing students for achievement and success—have always been at the core of what we do, and will always remain our highest priorities.
In keeping with our motto, “Clinically Based; Practice Oriented; Scientific Manual Osteopathic Education,” we complement basic and clinical sciences with the art of caring for people.
I am deeply committed to ensuring that every student who crosses my path at National Academy of Osteopathy leaves not only as a skilled manual osteopath, but also as a stronger, wiser, and more fulfilled individual.
My teaching goes beyond osteopathic technique—I focus on training the mind, building confidence, and developing the business acumen needed for long-term success.
I help students think bigger, live smarter & healthier, and become better human beings. It’s not just about creating great practitioners; it’s about transforming lives.
