Eli’s Background

Bodywork is an intrinsic part of Eli’s upbringing– he was raised by a massage therapist who started teaching him about therapeutic touch before he reached primary school.  In 2005, he graduated from the Wellness Education Center as a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT).  Looking for more answers than he got from massage school he integrated cranio-sacral, visceral manipulation and muscle energy technique.  He later learned that these originated in Osteopathy, and vowed to study the source of these powerful techniques directly.  In the meantime, he integrated movement therapy integrating principles from Physiotherapy with Feldenkrais and gymnastics conditioning.

Movement

Eli believes strongly in the power of physical cultivation and has been dedicated to his own movement practice for over 15 years. He integrates a wide variety of tools into his sessions that he learned from studying yoga, Feldenkrais, gymnastics conditioning, and circular strength training. From his breadth of knowledge of movement practices, he will make suggestions catered to your body’s needs.

From Eli–

They say you can only lead others where you yourself have been. I have come out the other side of some difficult challenges with my body. I herniated discs in my spine doing construction work and then got exposed to black mould, which left me with severely compromised energy and mobility.

But with research and perseverance I recovered and in doing so I gained priceless lessons about how to heal and be healthy.

That’s why I’ve chosen to be in the osteopathic field; after being so out of balance myself, I know how this can throw your whole life out of balance. I don’t want you to have to stay there any longer than you have to. I have learned many tools and I want to share them with you.

It is an honour for me to do whatever I can do to help you find your unique path to balance.
