I grew up in the small town of Pilot Butte, Saskatchewan but always had a dream of moving out to the Okanagan! The outdoors and active lifestyle of Kelowna is what attracted me to officially call this place home. I was always involved with sports growing up but took a more serious interest in hockey from a young age. This led me to move away from home in High School to play AAA hockey and eventually to Calgary where I played college hockey at SAIT. Over the years, I experienced several sport-related injuries that Chiropractic care was able to treat and resolve. I realized the whole-body benefits of chiropractic treatment, which ultimately drove me to pursue this career and help others.

I have a background in rehab, as I received my Physical/Occupational Therapy Assistant Diploma from SAIT in 2016. From there, I continued my studies at the University of Calgary where I received my degree in Community Rehabilitation and Disability Studies. I then went on to Northwestern Health Sciences University in Bloomington, Minnesota where I graduated with my Doctor of Chiropractic, in 2023. While in Chiropractic school, I took additional courses such as Taping, Advanced Upper and Lower Extremities, Concussion Baseline Testing as well as many others to graduate with a Sports and Rehabilitation Emphasis. I am FAKTR certified (Functional and Kinetic treatment with rehab) and also incorporate soft tissue techniques along with manipulation and mobilization into treatments.

When I am not in the clinic I like to spend my time hiking, golfing, paddleboarding, snowboarding, and of course checking out the local wineries/breweries. I know how important it is to live an active lifestyle so it is my goal to get you back to the activities you enjoy most.

Originally from Ontario, I was first introduced to British Columbia during my high school years which were spent in North Vancouver. I went on to obtain a Bachelor of Science degree at the University of Victoria, and then completed my Doctor of Chiropractic degree at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in 2006, graduating Cum Laude.

A desire to live overseas quickly landed me in the southern hemisphere where I spent over nine years working in Perth, Australia. I was fortunate to gain a significant amount of experience treating patients with a wide variety of health conditions such as back and neck pain, headaches, and sports injuries. With a passion for teaching, I also spent six years at a local university as a clinical supervisor teaching diagnostic and treatment skills to final year chiropractic students. More recently in 2016, I completed a Master of Science in Pain Management from the University of Sydney, Australia as well as the diplomate program in the Canadian Academy of Pain Management. With these qualifications, I look forward to being of assistance to the residents of Kelowna, along with the rest of the Active Living team, in acute and chronic pain prevention and recovery.

Whether you are suffering pain or are in need of opinion on your joints, nerves and muscles, my approach to chiropractic emphasizes care that is patient-centered and aligned with your health goals. In addition to chiropractic manipulative techniques, I have completed the ART® and Graston® courses, and use pain science education and rehabilitation to help you feel better as soon as possible.

Outside of the clinic, I participate in multiple sports such as hockey and golf. However, the Okanagan community has introduced me to the wonderful sport of trail running which has piqued my interest in setting personal goals and enjoying Kelowna’s wilderness. Should you have any questions regarding how chiropractic can be helpful for you, please feel free to contact me at the clinic.

Originally from the West Kootenays, I visited Kelowna many times throughout my life. When it came time to choose a city to settle in Kelowna was an easy choice. I have always been an active individual taking part in hockey and competitive golf growing up. This led me to become interested in pursuing a career in the health care field with a specific interest in sports injuries. Watching my father, who was a ten-time Ironman competitor, being kept in top physical condition by his chiropractor I realized how much I could help enhance and maintain not only people’s athletic ability, but also their everyday quality of life by becoming a Doctor of Chiropractic.

I received my Bachelor of Science degree from the University of British Columbia and went on to attend Chiropractic School at the University of Western States in Portland, Oregon, graduating with honors. During my time in school, I recognized the benefits of incorporating soft tissue techniques to compliment traditional chiropractic care, specifically the Graston Technique® and Active Release Techniques® (ART). Since then I have taken continuing education courses in the Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) which helps break down faulty movement patterns leading to a more accurate diagnosis, as well as Function Range Release (FR) another effective soft tissue treatment.

In addition to my work at the clinic I am also fortunate enough to be on the medical staff of the Okanagan Sun football team as the team Chiropractor. I also enjoy volunteering with the rest of the Active Living team at various triathlons and runs throughout the beautiful Okanagan Valley. I look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your optimal level of health and fitness!

Nanci has traveled through many circles in her physiotherapy career. This experience and her passion to optimize each patient’s ability to return to their desired level of activity can be felt immediately upon your fist meeting.

Having been an owner of a physiotherapy clinic (Port Credit Physiotherapy 2003-2013) has enhanced her experiences, and her many post graduate courses have helped developed a broader perspective. Some of these courses include Physical Therapy Approach to Female and Male Incontinence, Pelvic Pain & Pelvic Floor Dysfunction in Pregnancy; Ano-Rectal Disorders; Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy in Pediatrics; Orthopaedic Manual Therapy; Assessment and Treatment of the Injured Runner; and FitFore Golf.

Her practical experience to managing injuries and the injured patient grew through her active involvement in sports (figure skating, triathlon - 5-time Ironman finisher including Hawaii, running, cycling, skiing and Pilates) as well as her own experiences of pregnancy and post-natal recovery.

Nanci completed her Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy from the University of Toronto in 1997. This was against the backdrop of a Bachelor of Human Kinetics from the University of Windsor (1992). In 2013, Nanci, her husband and 2 daughters moved to Kelowna to embrace and enjoy the outdoor lifestyle of the Okanagan.

I have always been fascinated by how our bodies are created and the intricate way all the different systems work today. Having grown up playing a number of sports I saw first hand the benefits of physical therapy. Through this interest and an understanding of the need for skilled therapists I was drawn to my chosen studies.

I graduated in 2007 with a Bachelor of Science Honours Degree, in Sports Therapy at the University of Kent at Medway.

I am qualified in Sports Massage, Therapeutic Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, Dynamic Cupping, Trigger Point Therapy, Laser Therapy, Onsen Therapy and Relaxation Massage. I have over 16 years’ experience in the industry, and I have a passion to see people perform at their optimal level.

After my wife and I immigrated to Canada and settled in Calgary I became a Registered Massage Therapist with the Canadian Massage and Manual Osteopathic Therapists Association (CMMOTA). I worked in Calgary at a busy and successful clinic specializing in pain and tissue rehabilitation. Whilst working there I trained in Laser Therapy and became certified in Onsen Therapy. This is a highly effective series of techniques that combines manual osteopathy and massage to assess and correct structural and functional deviations, to provide long term pain relief.

I also worked at several clinics in the Bow Valley offering various massage modalities to locals and tourists alike. I find great satisfaction in tailoring my appointments to meet the needs of a variety of clients, from Olympic athletes to retirees. It is highly rewarding to assist clients in getting back to their full health so they can continue to pursue their passions.

Since moving to beautiful Kelowna I continue to maintain my CMMOTA registration. I will be taking the B.C. board exams later this year, so that I will be able to direct bill to extended health care benefits as I did in Alberta. Until then I will be offering massage at a discounted rate, to those who have no benefits or those who have run out of coverage. I look forward to working with you to help you reach your health and wellness goals!

Growing up in Kelowna, BC. , I spent most of my time playing a wide variety of competitive sports, primarily focused on track and field. Since childhood, I have always had a passion for human anatomy and supporting people in their journey to well-being. I would spend time with my mom, who is a nurse, asking her countless questions about physiology and her experiences with people in the healthcare field. Still just as inquisitive, I am highly motivated to continually learn and utilize my knowledge to the best of my ability to support patients with their unique goals.

Since being introduced to the manual therapies, both as a patient, and now practitioner, my mind has been opened to the world of preventative, and rehabilitative health. With this, I have begun to truly understand the importance of muscle balance and movement. As an RMT, my belief is that assessment, patient education and empowerment are essential when it comes to providing individuals with the best possible treatment outcomes.

Outside of Massage Therapy, I love spending time outdoors, adventuring off to the ocean as frequently as possible. I am still very active, and also enjoy the challenges of high intensity workouts such as Spin Cycle, HIIT and strength training!

I grew up in a small town in Ontario where I enjoyed an active lifestyle playing hockey and any other sport that didn’t conflict with the season. Ultimately, it was when injuries left me sidelined that I discovered a passion for anatomy through my rehabilitation. With the combination of the care I received in treatment, the work I put in, and witnessing my body’s own innate ability to heal, I was inspired to change my career path entirely to support others on their journey to wellness.

I graduated from Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy where I was able to gain invaluable experience treating a variety of conditions across a diverse group of clients. I believe that movement is essential to maintaining optimal tissue health and function, and empower my clients to take an active role in their treatment. I’ve seen great benefits to incorporating movement during massage in conjunction with a blended approach of neuromuscular therapy, myofascial and trigger point work.

As an RMT, my mission is to provide a customized treatment plan that supports clients on their unique wellness journey as they recover, maintain, and thrive while doing the activities they love most.

Outside of work I enjoy getting outdoors and staying active with my family. As a lifelong learner, I look forward to continuing my education and strengthening my offerings within this practice.
