Elissa’s updated bio ♥️
In 2024, I began a Graduate Certificate in Mental Health to deepen my understanding of the emotional components that often accompany physical presentations. Through my clinical experience, it has become clear that many issues which do not resolve with manual therapy alone have a mental health component. Integrating this knowledge allows me to support patients more holistically.
To treat one part of the body in isolation ignores the patient’s inherent ability to find homeostasis and return to health. For this reason, you won’t find me offering treatment for lists of conditions. Instead, I assess the whole person and apply an osteopathic approach that considers physical, emotional, and environmental factors.
Osteopathy provides patients with the opportunity to explore how their unique responses to life—such as posture and breathing patterns during stress—impact their well-being. This awareness can lead to greater ease and confidence in navigating their environment, and sometimes even the decision to change it.
At Atrium Osteopathy, you’ll experience a thorough case history, examination, and assessment, combined with hands-on manual therapy and education in a supportive, nurturing environment.
Please note: I do not treat TAC patients.
