Alicia’s journey into Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy has been shaped by a lifelong curiosity about the human body, the nervous system, and the many factors that influence our ability to adapt, heal, and find balance.

She graduated from the Body Intelligence Training two-year practitioner program in 2022 and is registered with the Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy Association of North America. Her approach is gentle and attentive, combining anatomical understanding with a quiet, hands-on presence. She supports people experiencing stress, pain, tension, and regulation challenges, creating space for the body’s own capacity for change and balance.

Before entering the field of Craniosacral Therapy, Alicia spent eleven years living in Southeast Asia, where she helped grow and manage a Canadian bakery café chain. Working alongside people from many different cultures and backgrounds shaped her appreciation for connection, resilience, and the unique experiences each person brings.

Alicia believes the body has an incredible capacity for change when given the right conditions. Her work is grounded in the understanding that sometimes healing is not about pushing harder but about creating enough space to listen, reconnect and allow the body’s own intelligence to emerge.

Outside the clinic, Alicia can usually be found in her garden, exploring the Okanagan, listening to podcasts, reading one of the many books she always has on the go or spending time around a campfire with family and friends.

Akela is a Registered Massage Therapist who is passionate about taking a holistic approach to treatment. She believes that the body functions as an interconnected system and that lasting results often come from looking beyond the area of pain to understand the underlying factors contributing to discomfort. Using her strong background in anatomy and biomechanics, she performs thorough assessments to identify the root cause of dysfunction and provides individualized home care to help clients continue making progress between treatments. Her goal is to help clients move better, feel better, and support their overall well-being.

She incorporates a variety of treatment techniques to tailor each session to the individual, including myofascial release, trigger point therapy, Swedish massage, and craniosacral therapy. While she is happy to provide deeper pressure when clinically indicated, her treatments are not centered around deep tissue massage. Instead, she focuses on using the most appropriate techniques and pressure to create effective, lasting change.

Outside the clinic, Akela is a strong advocate for healthy, active living. She enjoys hiking, mountain biking, cross-country skiing, and spending time on her hobby farm with her partner, their three cats, dog, and flock of chickens.

Akela will be starting maternity leave in September and looks forward to returning to the clinic after spending time with her growing family.

Hi, I’m Ryan Mercier — an experienced Osteopathic Manual Practitioner who has recently relocated to Kelowna from Ontario. I hold a four-year Bachelor of Science with a specialization in Psychology from Laurentian University and a four-year Master’s in Osteopathic Manipulative Sciences from the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy.

Growing up, I was always active and involved in sports, which naturally sparked my passion for human movement and biomechanics. This curiosity eventually evolved into a career focused on helping people move, function, and feel better by restoring balance and alignment to the body’s structure.

Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide variety of people — from children and seniors to athletes, desk workers, and tradespeople — and have seen consistent results across all systems of the body. Whether you’re dealing with musculoskeletal pain like sciatica, TMJ dysfunction, or chronic back pain; headaches or migraines; preparing for or recovering from surgery; managing digestive issues like IBS, bloating, reflux, or constipation; or navigating respiratory, hormonal, circulatory, lymphatic, or nervous system challenges — osteopathy offers a hands-on approach that supports your body’s natural ability to heal and self-regulate.

Osteopathy uses differential diagnosis to find the root cause of your symptoms, focusing on how one issue can lead to another. By treating the underlying cause, rather than just masking the symptoms, we help restore balance and support your body’s natural healing process.

Additionally, osteopathic treatments are covered under most benefit packages, making it easier for you to access the care you need.

I’m excited to be part of the Kelowna community and look forward to welcoming you to the clinic, hearing your story, and working together to help your body do what it’s meant to do — move with ease.
