Johanne Lavergne D.O., M.T.

Owner & Osteopath

Originally from Ste-Flore, Shawinigan, Québec, Johanne graduated from Foothills College of Massage Therapy in 1999, but her desire to learn did not stop there; she went on to obtain certifications in multiple disciplines such as Aromatherapy and Reflexology, as well as Myofascial Release from John F. Barns, and Craniosacral therapy from Upledger Institute.

As Johanne pursued each new learning opportunity, she came to the realization that everything thus far had prepared the way to become a student of the Collège d’Études Ostéopathiques de Montréal (CEO) in Halifax, Nova Scotia. From the first day, Johanne committed herself to a way of living where the art, the science and the philosophy of osteopathy would become the essence of her work.

Johanne went on to successfully complete the five-year program of Manual Practice of Osteopathy and received a diploma in Science of Osteopathy, where she presented her thesis “The Effects of Anxiety on the Primary Respiratory Mechanism and Endocranial Motion: Quantitative Comparison Study”. The international Board of Examiners convened for the oral presentation of Diploma in Osteopathy Manual Practice herby presented Johanne with the William Garner Sutherland D.O. Award for the most representative thesis for the advancement of Osteopathy in the field of Clinical Research.
Osteopathy is a passion of Johanne’s, and an integral part of her everyday life. Johanne has no hesitation to master her skills engaging in post-graduate education.

Johanne is an active member of the Association of Osteopaths of New Brunswick (AONB), and an affiliated member of the Ontario Association of Osteopathic Manual Practitoners (OAO).
