Current Clinic Update: Candace will be on a Leave of Absence effective August 23, 2025, & will return to the clinic for appointments on December 2, 2025. While she is away, she will be unable to access patient files for any reason, including verifying your information for insurance reimbursement. If you need to contact her after the above date, please send ONE EMAIL ONLY to ck.osteo@gmail.com (no phone calls or texts, as she will be unable to receive them). She will return your message when she is able to, but this may take several days. Your patience and understanding is appreciated.

Ongoing:

Treatment is provided for all persons regardless of: age, gender, identity, race, religion, vaccination status, etcetera.

Clinic information for all patients:

  1. If you are wanting to book an appointment listed as “Contact to Book”, please send one email only to ck.osteo@gmail.com with the date & time you want, and your Practitioner will make the appointment for you. You will then receive the confirmation email from Janeapp once the spot you have requested is booked.

  2. 48 hours notice is required in order to cancel your appointment without a penalty. This ensures your Practitioner has adequate time to fill the space in order for you to avoid being charged the full fee of your original appointment date & time. Forgetting your appointment &/or choosing to be elsewhere WILL result in the full fee of your appointment being charged.

  3. Please bring your own blanket for treatment if you feel you may be cold, as blankets are not provided for treatment.

  4. If your appointment is on a weekday after 6pm OR on a weekend, your Practitioner will meet you on the main floor of the building to let you in & bring you up to the clinic.

Candace Kakowchyk B.A.Hons, D.O.M.P., D.Sc.O., RMT

Candace received her Diploma of Osteopathic Manual Practice (D.O.M.P.) and her Diploma in the Science of Osteopathy (D.Sc.O.) from the Canadian College of Osteopathy in Toronto, ON, in 2015 after five years of study plus a research thesis and defense. Her thesis focused on a specific cranial technique and examined the effects it had on physiological factors involved in stress and immunity as measured by bloodwork.

Prior to this she received her Registered Massage Therapy license in Ontario in 2009, and a university degree in Philosophy with a minor in Science from the University of Waterloo in 2006.

Candace understands how the body and the individual respond to the physical and emotional demands of stress, everyday life, and injury. Her understanding has developed, and deepened, through her own personal experiences with osteopathic treatment, as well as the individualized care she has provided her patients with passion, empathy and presence. Utilizing her extremely in-depth knowledge of anatomy and physiology, in addition to her refined sense of touch and powerful intuition, Candace artfully aligns and rebalances the body by gently working with every system, including bones, soft tissues and ligaments, the nervous system, vascular system, and various organs of the body. She works with everyone from newborns to adults, addressing a variety of health concerns ranging from headaches and low back pain to digestive problems, chronic ear infections, immune system dysfunction, anxiety and depression, and much more. The youngest person she has treated was 5 days old!

Candace also works with patients who are dealing with concussion from a variety of causes, and has attended courses in Montreal, Quebec, to learn how to treat the specific physical and emotional complaints concussions have on the individual.

Candace believes in educating her patients about what is happening within their body, the link this has with their overall health status, and makes referrals to respected practitioners of other healthcare fields based on patient needs and presentation. Through this multi-disciplinary approach, her patients have consistently improved their physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health, as well as understand their body, and self, on a deeper level.

In her spare time Candace enjoys yoga, hip hop dancing, running, reading, travelling, watching health documentaries, and laughing with friends.
