Dr. Madeleine Levine’s fascination with the human body began at a young age when she was a competitive dancer. She was intrigued with the movement of the human body and how all different structures were interrelated and interconnected. She was curious of the benefits of movement, exercise and physical activity while she was also aware of the negative consequences of injuries, which could be caused by certain movements. These interests led her to the University of British Columbia (UBC) where she was enrolled in the Bachelor of Kinesiology program for 3 years. After her third year at UBC, she was accepted to the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC) where she was immersed in courses such as anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, orthopaedics, clinical diagnosis and radiology. After 4 years of study, Madeleine received her Doctor of Chiropractic degree, graduating Cum Laude, from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College.

Sarah’s love for movement and the human body began at a young age through her participation in a variety of sports.

Sarah’s experience as an athlete gave her firsthand exposure to injury management, rehabilitation, and improving athletic performance. As an athlete, Sarah sought chiropractic care to help her deal with injuries and return to competition. This positive experience helped shape her career as a chiropractor.

Kelsey’s passion for Massage Therapy was sparked at a young age due to her interest in living an active and healthy lifestyle! Upon graduating from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in Victoria, she made a huge move to a little town in Saskatchewan where she practiced for the past 3 years. Missing the mountains, warmer weather and lake country brought her back to BC, settling in Kelowna. Having family in the Okanagan meant almost every long weekend making the trip here from Quesnel BC when she lived while growing up. This city has always held a special place in her heart which made it an easy decision to finally call her forever home.

Fitness, happiness and health have always been top priorities in her life. Kelsey takes a special interest in deep tissue/sports massage, maternity, post mastectomy / myofascial release, headaches, neural compression syndromes (ex. sciatica) and joint issues. When indicated she incorporates kinesiology and sports taping into her treatments which she has advanced training in. She encourages her patients to be proactive in their recovery by educating them & customizing a home care plan including stretching, strengthening and remedial exercises.

Outside of the clinic Kelsey loves the outdoors, the gym/workout classes & any activity that involves bringing along her Miniature Dachshund “Sage”! Her passion for a healthy lifestyle reflects in her treatment plan to help get you living your best life! Kelsey’s treatment goals are to treat each patients condition successfully by getting to the root of the problem rather than just mask the presenting symptom.

Sara has a Bachelor’s degree in Human Physiology and Anatomy from the University of Western Ontario and became a Strength and Conditioning Coach in 2011; working with a large variety of athletes ranging from no prior experience to highly competitive levels.

Sara believes the majority of physical restrictions can be improved and corrected with a combination of hands-on treatment and movement re-patterning.

Sara uses a tailored approached for each patients’ unique lifestyle and enjoys focusing her RMT practice on injury rehabilitation, pain science and patient education about functional movement and the human body.

Throughout my life I have been active in sport and in life. Combined with my love of movement and the outdoors, I have challenged my body in ultra endurance multi-day stage racing, long distance cycling and Ironman triathlons. I have felt pain, discomfort and the physical limitations that my body was capable of. I learned first hand that taking care of myself was essential so that I could continue to enjoy all the activities and adventures I loved to do.

Incorporating massage therapy into my recovery and maintenance program assisted me in reducing the physical effects of training, recovering from injuries and the negative consequences of prolonged stress so that I could remain active and functional in my daily life.

I am passionate about helping others improve their physical well being. I view massage therapy as a partnership between therapist and client. Beginning with a thorough assessment; injuries, physical compensations and imbalances are evaluated. Based upon the goals of my clients and the nature of the physical limitation, a treatment plan is developed and implemented so that clients can return to their activities and daily lives with as little pain as possible.

In my free time you will find me in the outdoors volunteering with the Central Okanagan Search and Rescue, and training my certified Search and Rescue dog Chase with the BC Search Dog Association. As a trained NCCP Community Coach in cycling and triathlon, I enjoy coaching, leading cycling adventures and enjoy the many recreation activities of the Okanagan.

Emily is originally from Kamloops, BC, but moved to the Okanagan in 1997. Growing up and participating in competitive gymnastics taught her the importance of musculoskeletal health at an early age. This experience progressed into an interest in health and wellness. By 2011, she completed the 3000-hour massage therapy diploma from the Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy. After 5 years of practice, she went back to school again and completed a Bachelor of Health Sciences and Psychology. Emily has worked in multidisciplinary clinics, supervised Massage Therapy students, and conducted research.

All these experiences have helped her to understand how to provide client-centered care using an individualized, yet systematic approach. Techniques that Emily utilizes during her treatments may include Swedish massage, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, neuromuscular therapy, stretching, and/or joint mobilizations. She will also provide you with some education and homecare to empower you on your health journey.

My name is Sandra and I am a Registered Dietitian and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor. I am a huge proponent of intuitive eating and health at every size, and the learning I’ve done in these areas has guided my values and given me direction towards the kind of practitioner I want to become. I am a personal trainer and have my specialization in perinatal fitness (before, during, and after pregnancy), and I believe in accessibility and inclusivity when it comes to sweat sessions. I am intrigued with the intersections between movement and nutrition, and there’s a big gap there that needs to be filled.

I absolutely love getting to know people and being able to share the expertise I have in these areas, and I find that everyone can benefit from one or all the 10 pillars of intuitive eating – not all of them are about food… surprise.
I still struggle some days with body image and saying no to diet culture, and it’s not something that you can conquer in one month or even one year, I’ve been working on my own personal struggles in these areas since I was in middle school. My personal experiences have a huge impact on the way I want to practice in the future and the kinds of messages I want to spread to others. I like to approach body image from a place of body neutrality and weight inclusivity.

Through my own personal experience as well as my education, I help women find peace with food, movement, and their bodies. I help incorporate mindful movement and gentle nutrition strategies that help women get and stay well, in a way that is enjoyable and doable long term. I approach health with a preventative and sustainable lens, and while encouraging joyful movement and taking steps away from diet culture, ultimately, I am your support to lean on.

Emily graduated in May of 2021 from the University of British Columbia with a Bachelor’s degree in Human Kinetics, specializing in Clinical Exercise Physiology.

Growing up in small town Alberta, sports kept Emily busy from a young age through to her University career.

She is a firm believer that “movement is medicine” and that finding the right movement prescription for every individual has countless benefits on physical and mental wellbeing.
