Osteopathic practitioners use their understanding of the relationship between structure and function to optimize the body’s self-regulating, self-healing capabilities. This holistic approach to patient care and healing is based on the concept that a human being is a dynamic functional unit, in which all parts are interrelated and which possesses its own self-regulatory and self-healing mechanisms.

Rachel Gorman, M.OMSc, CYT
Rachel completed her foundational osteopathic education from Hamilton’s Canadian Academy of Osteopathy in 2017 and continues to participate in post graduate studies both in Canada and the US. Also a certified yoga teacher, she has been exploring the intersections between movement and health for more than a decade.
During her undergraduate studies at Ryerson University, Rachel spent her spring and summers working in reforestation in the backcountry of British Columbia. Over the years, this arduous work led to chronic pain affecting her daily life. This is the path that brought her to osteopathy; first as a patient and then a practitioner.
Rachel is a member of the Ontario Association of Osteopathic Manual Practitioners.

Mathilde Sauvé, DOMP
Mathilde completed her osteopathic training at the Collège d’Études Ostéopathiques de Montréal, where she later conducted research on interpersonal skills in clinical settings and taught osteopathic education. Alongside her manual practice, she has spent over five years in post-graduate training with the IRESOI Institute, specializing in relational dynamics and how the nervous system processes complex experiences.
Her path was shaped by her years as a competitive synchronized swimmer. While this background gave her a deep understanding of physical discipline, it was her own subsequent injuries and health challenges that led her to look beyond performance. This shift inspired her to focus on the wisdom within — the body’s innate ability to recover when given the right space and attention.
In her practice, Mathilde sees physical symptoms and life transitions not as problems to be fixed, but as a gateway to health. She provides a grounded environment where you can relearn your body's language, release stored tension, and restore a sense of sovereign embodiment — the ability to feel present, stable, and truly at home within yourself.
Mathilde is a member of the ACMA (Association Canadienne de Médecine Alternative).
