Fascia & Head/Brain Injury Therapist
Manual Osteopath, RMT
https://balancedbodytherapy.janeapp.com/ From head to toe, there's something for you!

Balanced Body Therapy incorporates several modalities to identify & resolve the root cause of what is holding your body back from being pain free & fully mobile. Vertigo & head injuries, carpel tunnel, range of motion, digestive or sleep issues, alignment of the spine and hips, etc. Some of the basics of each modality provided at Balanced Body Therapy are:

Manual Osteopathy: a gentle, non-invasive, holistic approach to restoring balance and mobility to all aspects of the body. Includes structural alignment of the hips, spine and other joints gently and painlessly, mobilization of the organs, Cranial Osteopathy (corrective craniosacral work) and fascial manipulation. Massage Therapy (Osteopathic Massage): helps improve circulation and reduce overall tension, wonderful for general aches and pains, relaxation. Typically includes aspects of osteopathic work relevant to your specific needs. Movement Therapy/Hanna Somatics: muscles do not hold tension without signals being sent from the brain. Hanna Somatic Movements allow you to sense the tension your muscles are holding onto and teaches you how to release this tension. The movements are painless and often the hidden element that's been missing from your treatments. Equine and Canine Hanna Somatics: mobile work is provided for working with horses and dogs! Lameness, general health, lead issues, and more are addressed with these treatments

2025… what. a. year.
A year that stretched me, challenged me, humbled me, and transformed me—
in ways I didn’t even know I needed.

Through the ups, the hard lessons, the breakthroughs, the growth…
one thing stayed constant:
the privilege of helping people and animals feel better in their bodies.
From athletes rebuilding mobility,
to riders reclaiming confidence,
to chronic pain clients finding relief,
to horses and dogs softening under my hands—
I’m grateful for every single session, conversation, and story shared.

Thank you for trusting me, choosing me, and letting me be part of your healing.
I don’t take it lightly. Ever.

As we step into 2026, my heart is set on:
✨ Deeper healing
✨ Stronger bodies
✨ Softer nervous systems
✨ New beginnings
✨ More time helping both humans and animals feel their best

Here’s to another year of growth, movement, alignment, and massive transformation.
Let’s go into 2026 ready to rise.

Santa, this is all I want for Christmas 🎁🐴❤️☺️

Winter tests people.
Your motivation dips.
Your body feels tight.
Your routine gets messy.

But strength?
It’s built in the tiny choices—
the days you stretch instead of skip,
the days you choose movement over excuses,
the days you give your body what it needs, not what feels convenient.

You don’t need perfect.
You just need consistent, compassionate effort.
Your future self will thank you for every rep, every walk, every session, every moment you chose to take care of your body.

Winter hits and suddenly everyone thinks their body is “tight,” “old,” or “falling apart.”
Nope.
It’s literally just… winter. ❄️

Cold temps =
▪ Muscles bracing
▪ Fascia thickening
▪ Nervous system going into “hibernate mode”
▪ More stiffness, slower warm-ups, and energy levels that require 3 extra coffees

This doesn’t mean your body is failing.
It means your body is adapting.

A little manual osteopathy + melting somatics + intentional movement?
That’s how you support a winter body—not shame it.

12/05/2025

Some days the workout feels easy.
Most days… it feels like a negotiation with yourself.

But that’s where the real strength is built—not in perfection, not in intensity, but in the quiet, gritty moments where you choose to show up for your future self.

Movement is medicine.
Consistency is confidence.
And every rep—whether it’s in the gym, the arena, or your living room—rewires your nervous system to believe:

“I can do hard things.”

Here’s your reminder:
You don’t have to crush it.
You just have to begin.
And beginning counts every single time. 💛

12/03/2025

Winter hits and suddenly everyone is walking around like a poorly thawed chicken breast.
Stiff. Tight. Achy. Zero mobility.
And somehow we’ve normalized it.

Winter doesn’t cause bad movement patterns—
it just exposes the ones we’ve been ignoring all year.

Here’s the truth:
Your fascia doesn’t care what month it is.
Your nervous system doesn’t pause regulation because it’s cold.
Your muscles don’t magically stay supple just because you “stretch sometimes.”

Winter mobility is less about force and more about nervous system permission.
Slow, intentional movement.
Pandiculation.
Manual osteopathic unwinding.
Giving your body a reason to release instead of brace.

If your body feels like it’s frozen in February even though it’s December…
It’s time to address the root cause, not the weather.

❄️ Winter is the perfect time to reset your movement foundation.

Oh, hiiiiiii December ❄️🩵
It's time to book in and use up your benefits before the 31st!

Okay, I am having too much fun with these memes 😅

Creatine: not just for bodybuilders.
It’s one of the most researched supplements on the planet — and its benefits go far beyond the gym.

Here’s why I love it:

💥 Exercise Performance
• More strength
• More power
• Better endurance
• Faster recovery

💪 Muscle Mass
Even older adults not weight training show increases in muscle mass.

🧠 Brain Health
Creatine fuels the brain the same way it fuels your muscles.
Studies show improvements in cognitive function, short-term memory, reasoning, and mental clarity — especially during stress, fatigue, or sleep deprivation.

🧠✨ It may even offer neuroprotective effects.

🦴 Bone Health
When paired with weight training, creatine may support increased bone density.

💧 Injury Prevention
Research suggests creatine may reduce dehydration, muscle cramping, and injuries to muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments, and nerves.

Creatine is strength.
Creatine is energy.
Creatine is brain fuel.
And honestly… many people would benefit from it.

If your body or your brain is tired, this might be one supplement worth exploring.

Taurine… if I were a poet, I’d write you a love letter.💌
You’ve rescued me more times than I probably realize.

Here’s the story:
I had a trauma-linked anxiety response tied to international travel — something I didn’t fully understand until it hit me again, years later, on the morning of my recent trip.

I tried:
✨ breathwork
✨ mindfulness
✨ grounding
✨ awareness
✨ every nervous system tool I normally recommend…

Nothing moved the needle.

Then I realized I’d forgotten my morning supplements — including Taurine.
Within minutes of taking it, the anxiety softened.
My thoughts cleared.
I felt like me again.
The grip of old trauma loosened.

This is your reminder: natural supports can make a profound difference.

🌿 What is Taurine?
It’s the most abundant amino acid in the body (or should be).
It gets depleted easily — including in people with ADHD.
Taurine helps your body produce GABA, the neurotransmitter that creates calm, focus, and emotional steadiness.

I’m not telling you to run out and buy it — everyone’s physiology is unique.
But if you struggle with nervous system overwhelm, it may be worth exploring.

(And yes, you can find it through my supplement dispensary if you're curious.)

Your healing doesn’t always look like big, dramatic moments.
Sometimes it’s a tiny amino acid helping your body exhale.

Our Story

Our story begins in the spring of 2013 when Michelle first brought Manual Osteopathy to Cochrane. Being the first to offer this modality in town, she’s kept her rates lower than you’d find in Calgary. After studying Hanna Somatics Movement Therapy, a modality that teaches people how to release their own tension and can re-balance the hips/spine and improve

mobility, Michelle needed a space to teach group classes. This is what opened the doors to the clinic studio she’s occupied for the past 2.5 years.

Michelle’s desire is to continually be working herself out of a job, to always require new patients as other patient’s dysfunctions are resolved.

Balanced Body Therapy incorporates several Manual Physical Therapy modalities to identify & resolve the root cause of what is holding your body back from being pain free & fully mobile. From head to toe, there's something for you! Vertigo & head injuries, carpel tunnel, range of motion, digestive or sleep issues, alignment of the spine and hips, etc. Some of the basics of each modality provided at Balanced Body Therapy are:

Manual Osteopathy: a gentle, non-invasive, holistic approach to restoring balance and mobility to all aspects of the body.

Hanna Somatic Movements allow you to sense the tension your muscles are holding onto and teaches you how to release this tension. The movements are painless and often the hidden element that's been missing from your treatments.

Equine and Canine Hanna Somatics: mobile work is provided for working with horses and dogs! Lameness, general health, lead issues, and more are addressed with these treatments. Results are often seen within a single treatment however, at least one followup is strongly advised for optimum results. For before and after pictures and more information, go to the “Balanced Body Therapy - Equine and Canine” page.

One and Two Day Clinics/Workshops: to immerse yourself in knowledge and give yourself and your group (students, employees, etc) a strong foundation of movements to explore, contact Balanced Body Therapy to organize your customized clinic/workshop!
