West Coast Osteopathy & Wellness

I have been a patient of Melita's for many years. She is a crucial support for me. She has helped me through more acute issues such as concussion recovery, and the recovery after 2 major surgeries. And also more general support and maintenance, such as misalignments within my body, nervous system support and improved function overall, like sleep, digestion and more inner harmony. One thing I am always amazed at, is how shallow my breath becomes in daily living, and after a treatment, my breath is back. I would not be as well as I am today without Melita! Thank you Melita for your continued support and care!

I also did a series of work with Hypnotherapist, Karen Woodfeild. This was an exceptional process where she helped me deal with some issues I was confronting. These were issues I had struggled with life long, and I could not resolve them directly - I had tried everything. Karen's approach with hypnotherapy led me into my conscious awareness, below the level of thoughts and feelings, where real healing was possible. Thank you Karen - I am forever grateful!

I have been seeing Melita on and off for many years for as many different reasons. For example she has treated my chronic lower back pain and post-anesthetic reactions. In my experience osteopathic treatment itself is non invasive and gentle, and Melita is extra gentle in providing effective treatment. She is very knowledgeable and experienced and keeps up with the latest through continuing education. Even though it will normally be a problem I go see her for, I always look forward to my visit and treatment.

Martin is a fantastic Osteopath. Very insightful and willing to teach you about the body if you want to get technical. I am extremely active, participating in high impact sports and I tend to build up tightness around certain joints quite quickly. After just one session I feel like I am walking normally again after adjustments to my hip, ankle and neck.

The clinic is also very clean and well maintained. I will definitely be coming back for tune ups throughout the year!

Anne has twice helped me with a chronic neck problem, and I've always left feeling 2" taller and much straighter! Very professional and caring - I would recommend her to anyone looking for an osteopath.

This rating is strictly for the poor operations of the clinic, not any treatment from a practitioner. I found West Coast Osteopathy through a Google search. Wanting to see an osteopath as soon as possible, I called and was able to get the one appointment available the next day at 6: 10pm. Received an email confirmation of appointment which included a lengthy and detailed description of how to find their office, where to park. Day of appointment I called to ensure I knew exactly where I was going as I was not at all familiar with the area. The girl gave me instructions detailing what to look for to find the doors to their building. Upon arriving a couple minutes prior to appointment, I could enter the lobby but discovered the elevators were not operational. I looked for a buzzer, I left the lobby to search for stairs, all external doors accessing the building were locked at that time and when I tried the lobby door again, they were now locked. I called and called, hoping someone (the osteopath, Anne) would hear the phone, but could not reach anyone. Now 10 minutes past appt time I hoped Anne would call to find out where I was. Another 5 minutes of waiting I decided to leave and left a message explaining that I could not access the office. Driving home, now 30 minutes past appt time, she called. I expressed my dissatisfaction and frustration of wasting my time driving to the office, unsuccessfully trying to get in, and finally leaving - with no treatment or relief from the pain I was dealing with. Anne apologized and explained that there is a specific buzzer to access the building for appointments after 6pm. Confounded, I asked why the girl who booked the appointment AND the girl I spoke with day of appointment - when I specifically said time was 6: 10pm - did not immediately and expressly explain how a client can get into the building. It was then I learned they use "virtual" assistants who obviously, don't have all of the information. NOTE to any clients who book appointments after 6pm, obviously the onus is on you to get the correct information rather that expecting satisfactory and definitive customer service from someone - virtual or not - who represents this business.

I was really impressed about how much time Melita took with me on my first visit. I have a lot of lower back pain from my desk job and pain killers didnt cut it anymore. Its definately better than it was. Thank you so much.

Suzanne has instrumental in my recovery over the years. I came to here in so much pain I could barely stand for 30 minutes at a time, but over the years, I'm now more active then I was in my 20s!

Outstanding care from a brilliant and caring therapist, our whole family has immensely benefited from coming here. I highly recommended this clinic to anyone.

I had a disc problem and I went to this clinic three months ago. Within hours of my treatment, I was in debilitating, through the roof pain. I called the next day and was told this was "normal" to have extra pain after a treatment. Well, now I am three months afterward and I live with terrible, horrible, chronic, stabbing pain that I never had to this degree before that last treatment. I regret every day that I went there and wonder if I am ever going to get better. Can't find a comfortable sleeping position, can't grocery shop without being in agony, and I am taking all kinds of medication that I never had to take before just to try to get by.
