Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a form of manual therapy that aims to bring your body back into a balanced state in order to promote health. It is a  gentle, natural form of treatment that is very effective at relieving pain and addressing a variety of health concerns.  

Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral therapy is an extension of osteopathy that uses very gentle techniques to help the craniosacral system of the body back to balance. It facilitates relief of concerns like headaches & migraines, low back pain, TMJ pain, and many concerns relating to the nervous system.

Yoga

Yoga classes are also offered from time to time, both online and in person. Personalized suggestions for yoga stretches and exercises that may complement your osteopathic treatments are often provided as needed.

Elle DeBruin, DOMP

I am grateful to spend my time and energy facilitating greater health and wellbeing for all of you who trust me with your care. I am a manual osteopath and yoga teacher. My education in osteopathy includes study at several different schools, including the National Academy of Osteopathy and the Upledger Institute.

My goal is to offer care that promotes greater health and vitality, and to do so in a way that is welcoming and inclusive to all. I strive to offer a sensory-friendly environment.
