Francine is a 2013 graduate from the European School of Osteopathy in the UK. Her vision is to help people access peace and tranquility within themselves and the environment, and to be able to share that peace and wellbeing with their community.

Francine works by supporting a person to gain more freedom of movement through their whole body, from the feet to the hips, spine, shoulders, all the way up to the small bones that make up the head and face.

As such, Francine enjoys treating members of the whole family, including mums and babies, children, teenagers, adults and the elderly. In her practice she commonly sees individuals with a wide range of complaints, such as foot and ankle pain, knee pain, low back pain, aches and pains from pregnancy, shoulder pain, neck pain, headaches and TMJ pain.

She has also worked in a wide range of contexts, such as treating young dancers and elderly clients at a podiatrist’s clinic, as well as volunteering at a center for previously homeless individuals.

Francine was inspired by the humanistic focus of Osteopathy, how the art and science of its approach were inseparable and interlinked. This was what she saw from her father’s practice; he was an orthopedic surgeon who changed to practice as an Osteopath. His treatments helped her and her brother recover from many ailments while growing up; including asthma, sinus and mid ear infections, scoliosis, and stresses from school and growth spurts in general.

Since graduation, Francine has taken further courses on cranial osteopathy and pediatric osteopathy. She has also completed the Gray Institute for Functional Transformation training; and is able to tailor-make functional movement exercises adapted to each person’s needs, whether it is for completing tasks in everyday life or to improve sport performance.

And while Francine feels that while hands-on work can be a powerful tool in helping the healing process, however her goal is to empower clients to be able to ‘treat themselves’ even when they return home, so that they can help their bodies become more resilient, and relax their minds from everyday stress.

Francine has found that Qigong is one of the many practices that can help a person in this way, as it involves both a moving meditation and a still meditation. Francine aims to lead by example, and she is also willing to offer free qigong group practice sessions on request; as long as one person is interested, she will be there!

In her free time, she enjoys playing music with friends, improvising with the bass recorder, guitar, piano, djembe and kalimba; as well as learning circular breathing for the didgeridoo. She enjoys singing too, whether in a group or just playing with the echoes in valleys and canyons. She also enjoys spending time at huts, hiking and kayaking, cross country and telemark skiing, and just being in these mountains.

She is originally from Hong Kong, and speaks English, Cantonese and Mandarin.

Lindsey Williams Osteopathic Manual Therapist DOMP, B.Sc (Kinesiology); B.Ed, M.A. Leadership, Certified Holistic Nutrition Practitioner, e-RYT-500.

Living in the Canadian Rockies, I am inspired by the mountains and rivers to move, play, and live in alignment with my natural surroundings. The human body blows me away in its capacity to learn, adapt, and grow given the right “fuel” sources. Literally what powers me is not only the food I eat, but also how I move and feed my nerves, muscles, and joints with playful movements. I love theory and science, just as much as I love letting go and riding the waves of intuition. I am currently in my third year of studies as an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner, where I am continually humbled by the amazing interconnections and healing capacity of our bodies. I have been able to weave this knowledge into how I teach classes, design programs for clients, and indeed think about wellness in general. I believe living that sustainably means taking care of our body and our planet. I pull this philosophy into all that I do…
