Michelle is a manual therapist studying at the Canadian School of Osteopathy Manual Practice in her fourth and final year of study. Her approach to therapy is informed by years of post-secondary study, athletic conditioning, and self-study of various healing modalities.

Previously, Michelle worked as a registered nurse primarily with maternity and pediatric populations, but after experiencing burnout and witnessing patients struggle with chronic pain and illnesses, she transitioned to manual therapy to focus on proactive health and wellness. After personally experiencing the benefits of osteopathic manual therapy, Michelle is committed to helping clients find their inherent health and wellness. Her goal is to identify the root cause of your concerns to prevent pain and symptoms from returning.

Manual therapy treatments utilize an osteopathic approach that gently mobilizes joints, muscles, fascia, organs, and cranial membranes to ease pain and restrictions while improving wellness. Treatment styles and techniques may include gentle joint mobilization, cranial tension balancing, myofascial release, trigger point release, targeted muscle activation, and visceral (internal organs) techniques.

Hey there, lovely souls! I’m Kelly Farrell, a certified yoga enthusiast who’s all about spreading good vibes and positive energy. I completed my 200-hour YTT with the awesome Kootenay Yoga School, where I dived into the magical realms of Vinyasa, Hatha, and Restorative yoga styles.

I’ve been lucky enough to call the incredible town of Rossland my home for a whopping nine years! This place is my playground, and you can often find me shredding the trails on my mountain bike, conquering epic hikes, gliding down the slopes on my snowboard.

I’m not just a yoga-loving adventurer. I’m also a fourth-year psychology student, delving into the fascinating world of the human mind. My ultimate goal? To become a clinical counsellor and help others navigate the twists and turns of their inner worlds.

I’m beyond excited to share my passion for the mind-body connection with our incredible community. Yoga is my jam, and I believe it’s a powerful tool for finding balance, cultivating self-awareness, and embracing our true selves. In my playful and inclusive classes, we’ll flow, breathe, and explore our inner magic together. So, join me on this wild and wonderful yoga journey. Let’s tap into our inner strength, find peace in the present moment, and create a community that radiates!
