Colin Wallace is a certified Canadian athletic therapist, Ph.D. candidate at the University of British Columbia – Okanagan, and Head Coach of the UBC Okanagan varsity cross-country program.

Colin graduated from Sheridan College’s Bachelor or Applied Health Sciences (Athletic Therapy) program in 2008, and began his career as an athletic therapist at the University of Oregon. There, Colin worked as a graduate assistant within the varsity athletics department while simultaneously completing his Master’s degree in Human Physiology, with a specific focus on the physiology of injury, rehabilitation, and physical conditioning.

Colin graduated from the University of Oregon in 2010 and moved to beautiful British Columbia, continuing his athletic therapy career at Simon Fraser University. After two years with the Clan, it became apparent to Colin that, even though the research on concussions has seen an exponential increase in recent years, many uncertainties surrounding the injury persist.

Due to this, Colin enrolled at the University of British Columbia – Okanagan and began his Ph.D., with his research focused on neurocognitive deficits and blood-based biomarker changes following a concussive event. Colin has been a competitive distance runner for more than 20 years, and is also taking advantage of the outdoor opportunities the Okanagan presents, such as cycling, rock climbing, hiking, and his new passion, stand-up paddle boarding.

Colin is a firm believer that exercise is truly the best medicine, and necessary for a long, happy, healthy life.

Ian’s healing journey began in 2011 when he spontaneously experienced a deep state of peace through relaxation and mindfulness. His experience led to a process of self discovery and a growing awareness of the body’s innate ability to heal itself when brought to stillness.

While coming to this point in the journey, he has explored meditation and Yoga (becoming 200hr Kripalu Yoga certified in 2012, and attending a 10-day Vipassana meditation retreat). HIs desire to help others find stillness and healing led to him pursuing Massage Therapy, graduating from Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy in 2016. During his training, he became increasingly fascinated with the potential of using Craniosacral Therapy as a means to help calm the nervous system in order to promote healing. Since graduating, he has been actively developing his skills in this technique through a mentorship program: he plans to become officially certified in the near future.

He looks forward to helping you wherever you are at, and addressing your needs directly using the following modalities: Deep Tissue Massage, Swedish Massage, Muscle Energy Technique, Craniosacral Therapy, as well as others as needed.

Dr. Volk is a Naturopathic Doctor who has practiced in Portland the last several years and has now returned to her native Kelowna. She is available at Momentum on Tuesdays and Fridays. Her clinical practice focuses on treating digestive complaints, hormonal imbalance, autoimmune disease, anxiety, depression, allergies, fatigue, insomnia, and pediatrics, including folks with neurodevelopmental challenges.

She has completed advanced training in classical homeopathy through the New England School of Homeopathy (NESH) and is a candidate for fellowship with the Medical Academy of Pediatric Special Needs (MAPS).

Before returning home, Dr. Volk worked in Portland in a general family practice and as a specialist with pediatrics with special needs—a demographic about which she is passionate due to having a beloved older brother with Down syndrome.

After struggling with digestive problems for most of her life with no hope for a recovery, her life was forever changed when she met a physician trained in functional medicine who not only treated her symptoms but also identified their underlying cause. Using natural methods, Dr. Volk was quickly able to eliminate her chronic ailments and resume a normal, healthy life—an outcome she had been told was impossible. It is Dr. Volk’s mission to be a “health detective” for others who are similarly looking for answers.
