Hi, I’m Ellana.
I’m an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner and a mother of five, deeply passionate about health, the human body, and the natural world.

Background
My journey began in child-centered education, where I spent many years helping children learn independently through thoughtfully prepared environments. This experience taught me empathy, patience, and a thoughtful presence—qualities I now bring into the treatment room. I take the time to understand each person’s unique experience, creating a space where healing can unfold comfortably and effectively.

Over time, my own health challenges led me to discover osteopathy—not just as a form of treatment, but as a new way of understanding the relationship between body and spirit. Experiencing firsthand how gentle, personalized, hands-on care could bring lasting relief, I was amazed at how much lighter, more focused, and mobile I became with each session. I was able to walk with less pain—and I was grateful to have found a powerful method to incorporate into my self-care routine, designed to build resilience in both my structure and mind.

I was drawn to osteopathy’s foundational principles: treating the body as an interconnected whole and supporting function through anatomy-based, purposeful treatment. It all made sense to me—how my body created the space for my mind and life to flourish, and how providing care for it was therefore necessary. Dr. Still’s view of the body as a student of Nature deeply resonated with me. He believed the same laws that govern Nature also guide the body’s innate ability to heal and restore balance.

That realization lit a spark within me: the body mirrors the natural world—full of internal roads, flowing rivers, and maps that guide it toward wholeness in mind, body, and spirit.
