“Sandy is absolutely amazing! She worked on my 4 month old daughter who had a lot of tension in her upper body which was making her keep her arms held up and after working with her, her arms relaxed back into regular position. She fully explained to me what she was doing and why. Great experience and would definitely recommend!!”

“Sandy's professionalism and expertise are top notch. If you are considering osteopathy or looking to find more physical balance and relief from chronic pain then I couldn't recommend her enough! I always leave her office with more alignment and less discomfort then I came with. She is a super kind and compassionate provider. As someone who has had plenty of work with other disciplines/modalities I wish I found osteopathy and Sandy years ago.”
