From a young age, Melissa has been heavily involved in sports and physical activities, as she got older human health/well-being and the study of anatomy and physiology became part of her interests. Melissa attended Brock University for Physical Education and Kinesiology and studied the complexities of the human body and how it works.

Suffering from back pain and digestive issues, Melissa received her first Osteopathic treatment while in her final year of university and immediately knew that this would be her next step in her education. Melissa has a positive outlook on health and believes that the body is a self-healing and self-regulating mechanism. Following these principles and integrating the body, mind and soul, Melissa looks forward to continuously sharing her passion for Osteopathy and serving the community to the best of her ability.
