Meet your practitioner

Yukiko (Yuki) Kawada - Osteopathic Manual Practitioner, M.OMSc.

Hi, I’m Yuki. I’m an osteopathic manual practitioner (OMP). I was born and raised in the busy city of Nagoya, Japan, but I moved to Canada in search of a peaceful, nature-close lifestyle. My passion for snowboarding and the mountains led me to settle in Whistler, BC.

Living an active lifestyle in Whistler exposed me to manual therapy through physical conditioning and injuries.  I was particularly impressed by the skilled treatments I received, especially osteopathic care, which was highly effective and perfectly suited to my needs.  This experience inspired me to pursue osteopathy and led me to complete the four-year full-time Classical Osteopathic program at the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy.  I earned my Diploma of Master in Practice of Osteopathic Manipulating Science (M.OMSc) and am a member in good standing of Osteopathy Canada (OSTCAN).

My treatment approach involves using gentle, non-invasive techniques to provide a pain-free and calming experience. I realign the body’s structures and stimulate its self-healing properties.

I’m excited about the opportunity to use my osteopathic skills to help people maintain or restore their health, allowing them to continue enjoying their lifestyles. I’ve been fortunate to receive excellent care from skilled manual practitioners in the past few years, and I feel it’s my turn to give back and help others.
