About Me
I've been in the health and wellness field for 20 years, and have studied and taught around the world, specializing in assessment and rehabilitation. I was lucky to find my passion at a young age, and I've loved every minute!
My belief is that everyone deserves to receive the highest quality of care, no matter who they are.
Using the best-fit modalities for your situation, my goal is to accurately identify the root issue, and work with you to "fix" it as efficiently as possible. Part of my work is also advising and instructing you on the best next steps to ensure you can move past your ailment, to become stronger than you were when we met.
The human body's needs are unique to each person, which is why - whether you're a professional athlete, weekend warrior, soon-to-be mom, or office worker - I get excited to help with whatever ails you.

Sarah Pelosi
Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist | FRms | B.Sc
About Me
My focus has always been on training for longevity. In both athletes and individuals, combining strength training with proper movement patterns is critical to preventing injury and maintaining health. I’m passionate about the intersection of these training systems and lifestyle habits, and how the two working in tandem can allow us to live life to the fullest, whatever that may mean.
I have a formal education in Psychology, Behavioural Science, and Strength and Conditioning. It’s the combination of these three domains that allows me to train clients with an emphasis on developing physical and mental systems for long term success.

About Me

Victoria West
Doctor of Chiropractic | Movement, Function & Evidence Based Chiropractor
About Me
Hi! I'm Dr. Victoria West.
If you are on my page, I am going to guess you are either in discomfort from an injury, or because of something that came up and won't go away - maybe the last few days, or the last few years.
You may have already seen a practitioner, or a few.
Am I the right fit for you? Let me ask you a question...
Are you up for doing things a little differently?
My practice is a little upside down to what you might be used to. It's based heavily the research that shows that education and exercise are what keeps us moving well, and our pain at bay. Therapies like joint adjustments, medical acupuncture, Hypervolt Vibration therapy, Active Release Techqnique movement soft tissue work are only part of what your sessions will consist of.
I'll ask just one thing of you,
Before your visit, please let go of what you think and feel going to a chiropractic visit "should" be. This new model of care is going to mean we prioritize education tailored to YOU - the issue that brought you in as well as your lifestyle.
My promise to you? I'm not sending you home with a long list of exercises that are difficult to fit into your already busy life.
I'm going to TEACH you how to do what your already doing in your day, but in a way that's better for your nervous system, your joints, and your tissues. We will work together to create a lifestyle for you that means you are healthier and moving well - AND that you enjoy.
I'm going to keep it simple and just ask you to practice between visits. I'm going to make sure you understand WHY your pain is there and GUIDE you towards you being able to manage it, for good. How long that takes is a discussion between us at your visit.
If you are up for it, I'm looking forward to working with you, see you soon!
