What People Are Saying

Intrigued!

I met Whitney Single over a year ago and was fascinated and intrigued as she described her study and practise of osteopathy principles to a co-worker. I was suffering badly from Plantar Fasciitis, mostly on my left heal, and inquired if I could benefit from osteopathic based treatments. I tried numerous other ways of treating it before but the heal pain always came back! I’m naturally a person with a healthy dose of skepticism for anything new that promises great results but, right away I was struck by the calm, informative approach and how intuitive Whitney was in assessing the issues I had. She was very expert in sensing how all the axis points of my body affected my foot and, after only a few treatments, I began to resume all of my regular activities without the usual debilitating pain that had previously accompanied it. What’s better is that I’m still pain-free almost a year later!

The Treatment, gentle and effective.

Before Whitney’s treatments I felt hopeless because I have been seeking treatment from various practitioners of bodywork with no resolution and no true understanding of my difficult conditions. I have common bad posture, but have also suffered many accidents. Add to that painful bunions in my feet, all of which have left me with chronic tension and have inhibited my ability to function comfortably in my body for as long as I can remember.
Whitney has been the only practitioner who shows me hope that my body can recover. Through her knowledge of osteopathy and integrated bodywork, I appreciate her logical approach, realizing my body’s patterns.  Whitney has demonstrated her ability to coax my body into healing and returning to its ideal state. She offers a much appreciated gentle and effective technique that has opened my body to its truth as I gradually transform to regain harmony and balance within myself. I now experience a remarkable difference in my range of motion, through my hips and neck especially. I finally have received lasting pain relief and the answer to my life long bunions/feet issue. I also recently have had no pain during my cycle, which is a first. I feel significant progress being made each treatment in progressively unraveling to my body’s new aligned state. The way she is able to educate me on how and why my body works the way it does is a special gift.

Healing hands.

Recently I had a treatment from Whitney. I was only able to do one treatment while Whitney was passing through Ontario. I had been experiencing serious sinus congestion in the mornings and after the treatment at least for a few days this treatment brought about relief.  I think that further treatment would have solved this problem altogether.  The treatment was very relaxing and Whitney was very gentle and nourishing. Being a Reiki Master and Energy Worker myself, I was able to feel the healing properties and energy in Whitney’s hands. I felt much more aligned after the treatment and very peaceful.

Discovering the real issues…

I’ve been in search of a therapist that would be able to discover my “real issues” rather than just “treat my symptoms”. My chronic pain has been a 20 year journey. Over the years I’ve spent so much time and money on massage, chiropractors and physiotherapy. Treatments would give relief but soon I would be back to the same restrictions. Walking at a good pace, exercise and sleeping were always difficult. Whitney Laine was my first introduction to Osteopathy principles. Over the last two years after treatment with Whitney I’ve learned more about my body and its alignment than ever before. I notice immediate relief with the energy in my body during and after each session. My structure is feeling aligned which has now allowed me to exercise more and have good stretching ability. I sleep so much better without the pain that I had previously. This gives me hope for a better quality of life.

With thanks,
Marlene

Immediate relief from back pain

After my first session with Whitney, I felt immediate relief from back pain that my body had been holding for as long as I could remember. Whitney gently helped my body unwind out of painful patterns, release tension, and settle into more nourishing ways of being. I continue to see her for upkeep, and for help re-learning how to move my body in nourishing ways. Whitney has helped me work with my posture and movement habits so I can experience increased well-being. Her treatments are gentle, intuitive, and deeply transformative.

Whitney is an exceptionally gifted and knowledgeable practitioner. Under her gentle guidance my body has become more balanced and is running more efficiently.
It is a beautiful thing how, with such subtle adjustments our bodies can be so profoundly realigned; coming into balance, health. My neck has more freedom of movement than it has had in decades.

No one has ever taught me anything close to what Whitney did in terms of subtle body awareness, conscious and unconscious manipulation of deep structures. This all allowed me to realign and retrain my entire body to move fluidly with a solid grounded platform to bridge and integrate every movement from.
I’m happy to say that through Osteopathy treatment with Whitney and alignment exercises I continue to do on my own I feel great, with zero back pain and have been able to get back to one of my favorite activities…. rock climbing 🙂 When I started seeing Whitney, I mentioned I really wished one day I would get through this debilitating injury. That hopefully I could somehow rock climb again.
The last injury I dealt with was a back injury; I tried Chiropractic and Acupuncture therapy, neither had any lasting effect for me. I’ve had a few injuries over the years that really forced me to slow down and in some cases lay down for weeks. Luckily I met Whitney Laine. Her comprehensive holistic approach helped me to reintegrate with my bodies wisdom and innate ability to find alignment and heal.
Thank you so much Whitney.

Within one session done by Whitney, my lower spine shifted to an aligned posture lasting for many months giving my sleeping and waking life a drastic difference. I had X-rays months before showing my lower spine was condensed and my nerves squished.
Energetically my life regained vitality and enabled more connectivity with my autonomic nervous system.

The only notable and lasting application of treatment that truly made a change in my body after my accidents was Osteopathy from Whitney Laine. The pain disappeared.
Whitney not only fed me, she taught me how to fish. The methods of Whitney’s treatment simply put, gave me back my power to heal. “Subtle body awareness” she called it. This was done through a series of subtle and fine adjustments that felt almost imperceptible.
The treatment with Whitney does not end with a session of her guiding the body into its natural positions, but it continues by following her instructions of how to perceive the relationships of contact and readjust oneself to enter a new and healthy habit of posture.
This is by far the most empowering way of introducing healing into the body, in my opinion. This is the future of health treatment, reigniting the power of self healing. Whitney’s method is one of complete generosity, embedded in the new paradigm of human mutual life support.
I will continue to come to Whitney for this guidance. There is a lot of wisdom in her offering.
It created such a exponential rearrangement in my body that the first nights she applied the treatment, my body was in such pain through the getting used to a new normal and corrected way of existing in relationship to its own self.
“Let the earth sustain you, lean into it” I recall her guiding me.
Turns out, it is all about my feet being in full contact with the earth, but many nuances than what I have experienced in other practices like yoga.
These initial imperceptible adjustments she introduced into my body rippled into a normalization of the points of contact within my body and suddenly everything was supported again from the correct angles of my bones.
My history involved two compromising accidents where I hit my forehead on the windshield and then a contact sports accident on my left ankle that left my body disbalanced and in pain. I have been in treatment for the pain I have felt for years. I have tried chiropractic treatment, massage, acupuncture and many other methods that never really created a lasting amelioration.
The pain stemmed from the bottom of my spine on the left side of my body, all the way up to the neck, and even around the eye and temple. Sometimes the pinched nerves would make my left sciatic nerve irritated and also tingling sensations in my left arm down to the fingers from the pinched nerves in the neck.

I came to Whitney with some posture and alignment issues as many do. I could tell she genuinely cared about my health…maybe even more than I did! She listened very carefully to my history of ailments and injuries before having me lay down. During the session she showed precision and time management, working on an area right up until it was activated into it’s supported/aligned position then moving on. After the session I felt like a whole new person, in how I was standing, walking and feeling. My smile was so big I thought it might throw me out of alignment. Whitney is an amazing Osteopath and I would recommend it to anyone seeking positive change in their life.
