About Carolyne
Carolyne Abrams received her Diploma in Osteopathy in 1990 from the British College of Naturopathy and Osteopathy in London, UK.
Graduate studies included a Diploma in Pediatric Osteopathy as well as many courses in Cranial Osteopathy. Carolyne’s practice is based on
3 main principles:
1. Your body is an integrated whole. Thus, disharmony in any part of your body will affect all parts of your body to a greater or lesser degree.
2. Your body has the capacity to heal. Every body can heal. I work with you to maximize your own healing capacity.
3. You are more than your physical body.
My treatments address both how your emotional, mental, and spiritual health interacts with and influences your physical body and how your physical body interacts with and influences your emotional, mental, and spiritual health.

Client Testimonials
Post-concussion:
“I have just completed seven weekly osteopathic treatments with Carolyne Abrams. I went to see her for post-concussion treatment nineteen months after I had been injured in a car accident.
My time with Carolyne addressed ongoing issues with dizziness, balance, body alignment, headaches and sleep. I definitely have experienced an improvement in all these areas. Carolyne’s treatments are subtle and powerful and I naturally fell into a meditative state in each session. The most beneficial and long-lasting effect that I felt from every treatment was a strong sense of inner balance and centredness as well as a significant reduction in headaches and more restorative sleep.”

Chronic pain:
“I am incredibly fortunate to have found Carolyne after spending many years and thousands of dollars on various types of treatment for chronic pain and vestibular system damage. Carolyne’s treatments have significantly reduced the chronic pain as well as improved my vestibular system from a point of severely limited function to a place where I am able to manage independently. The strength and wisdom of Carolyne’s healing also helped me thru a transformative, but difficult period in my life. Additionally, my teenage children have benefitted from Carolyne’s treatments for a variety of ailments ranging from joint and muscle pain, orthodontic adjustments, to the bumps and knocks they receive in the course of playing sports. All of the treatments we have received are completely gentle, yet hugely powerful.”
