Verena Koenig DOMP

Happy End of Summer

Starting September 1, I will be practicing out of the treatment room next to the formally known Grace Space Yoga Room in Horwoods Mall above Baked Cafe. Parking is available on either corner of Horwoods Mall, and free parking is available at the library or Macbride Musuem. Grace Space (now Still North Yoga under new ownership) is at 100 Main street, Suite 200. Coming out of the elevator or the stairs TURN RIGHT, go STRAIGHT ahead and you will find me (past Dr. Elizabeth Parker’s office). You WILL receive in your email reminders with jane app the new location and directions!

I acknowledge that I work and play on the traditional territory of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation and the Ta’an Kwäch’än Council. I honor the land, the waters, and the peoples who have cared for this land for thousands of years. I am grateful for the opportunity to live, work, and gather here, I acknowledge the impacts colonialism has had on Indigenous people and I make a commitment to actively change colonial stories and narratives within myself.

Everybody is welcome at my clinic space. A place where health and healing is approached from a holistic and heart centred place (backed up by the science of physiology and anatomy) that’s the beauty of Osteopathy.

Born and raised in a tucked away little village in Upper Austria called Liebenstein, I was taught the power of nature, plants and foraging at an early age.

I graduated from the German Sports University in 2008 from a Masters of Science in Physiology and Rehabilitation (I am accredited and certified in Canada). Part of my school career involved extensive research in exercise and cancer. I was about to pursue a PhD program.. but travelling in Canada’s west and north landed me a position with the City of Whitehorse, Yukon where I became a permanent resident and lived for 8 years.

I knew I wanted to deepen my knowledge in manual therapy beyond my extensive rehabilitation and physiology education. During my schooling I worked within the Yukon Territorial Government for Health and Social Services, Care and Community branch, where I applied my knowledge of Rehabilitation and Prevention in varied pathologies (Chronic Disease, Neurological Disease, Cardiac Disease). Osteopathy was a profession I always was exposed to growing up. Fascinated by the deep knowledge of the muskolo skeletal system, the organs, the cranio-sacral complex, the nervous system and fluid flow, I was excited to start my schooling within the Canadian School of Osteopathic Manual Practice in Vancouver in 2013. Since day one I was practicing as a student in a clinic in Whitehorse to apply my knowledge immediately. I have completed the five year course work in 2018 and I defended my thesis in April 2019, to obtain my DOMP. Interested by what Osteopathy can give to a person, I am researching how Osteopathic Manual Therapy can help people who are diagnosed with PTSD and who have symptoms of PTSD.

I have a passion for finding the cause of what is preventing the person to express its true self and health. I have worked with newborns, infants, athletes, office-enthusiasts, adults, youth… Osteopathy really has no limit on who it can help.
