Book online with Lana (south office)
Book online with Lana (north office)

Lana is a dedicated Manual Osteopathic Therapist holding a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Physiology from the University of British Columbia. Her passion for osteopathy was ignited during her overseas travels, where she experienced the profound health benefits of this holistic approach for herself. Upon her return to Canada, Lana honed her skills as a kinesiologist, working with various sports teams, and extensive care for those suffering from motor vehicle accidents. Intrigued by the osteopathic treatments she received, she pursued further education to deepen her understanding and expertise in this holistic discipline.

Lana excels in understanding the intricate relationship between the body's structure and function. Her deep knowledge of anatomy and physiological systems allows her to accurately identify and address the root causes of pain, rather than merely treating the symptoms.

Lana's approach is anchored in two fundamental principles: viewing the body as a unified whole and recognizing the interconnection between structure and function. She employs comprehensive assessment tools to detect dysfunctions and applies specialized techniques such as Muscle Energy Techniques, joint and fascial mobilizations, Myofascial remodelling, and fascial manipulation. Additionally, she is proficient in lymphatic, craniosacral, and visceral techniques, enhancing her clients' overall well-being.

Erin Lequereux, MOT

Manual Osteopathic Therapist

With a foundation in movement and performance, Erin began her first career as a professional dancer, earning her B.A. in Dance at the University of Calgary, with a specialization in ballet at the School of Alberta Ballet and performing across Canada and the United States. Years of dedication to the art of dance offered rich experiences on stages, but also came with the physical demands and injuries common to the profession.

It was through one such injury that Erin was introduced to osteopathy—a turning point that sparked a deep, personal interest in the body’s natural healing capacity. This discovery eventually led to a transition from performance to practice, as she began to study the principles of osteopathy at the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy, completing over 1,500 hours of total hands-on training, including 1000 hours of supervised clinical experience and over 4,200 curriculum hours.

What draws Erin deeply to osteopathy is its rational, anatomy-based approach to understanding the body. Grounded in the sciences of structure and function, osteopathy offers logical, evidence-informed explanations for symptomatology—connecting the dots between dysfunction, compensation, and the body’s adaptive responses.

Driven by a commitment to helping the individual, Erin integrates a grounded, compassionate approach to healing, combining the knowledge of anatomy with the therapeutic power of manual application. Her work is informed by anatomical and physiological sciences (and how they inform each other), her years as an investigator of movement, and a strong belief in the body’s ability to self-adjust, self-regulate and self-heal when given the right support.
