Originally from France, Anne Colin is a dedicated osteopathic practitioner in North Vancouver. She studied full-time for four years at the European School of Osteopathy in Maidstone, England. In 2012, she graduated with an integrated Masters degree in Osteopathy (M.Ost) from the University of Greenwich.

Anne then moved to the North of England. There, she spent four years working alongside incredible osteopaths in a busy, pediatric-focused practice. This experience inspired her to pursue advanced training in pediatrics and obstetrics. Additionally, she volunteered for a year at the Osteopathic Centre for Children in London, UK. This wonderful experience allowed her to treat a highly diverse population. She treated patients regardless of their socio-economic backgrounds. She developed advanced skills in treating babies, children, adolescents, and pregnant or postpartum patients. Anne carried this deep interest into her private practice. She then began treating patients within a specialized children’s clinic.

Her desire for travel and change led Anne to leave the UK for South America. She spent two years volunteering in various countries. This included solidarity missions with the School of Osteopathy of Montreal (CEO) in Peru. In Peru, she learned about osteopathy in Canada and France by working with international practitioners. She treated patients in pediatric rehabilitation clinics alongside local physiotherapists. She also worked in a center for abused women and girls. This exposed her to populations carrying unique histories, traumas, and medical conditions. Independently, Anne provided osteopathic care within local hospitals and non-profit organizations in Chile, Bolivia, and Colombia.

Anne moved to Canada after meeting various Canadian osteopathic practitioners abroad. She finds it exciting to discover a new country and learn from regional differences. She continues to expand her skills with advanced courses. These include the Biodynamic phases by Dr. Jim Jealous and Anatomy Trains by Tom Myers.

Anne believes that osteopathy supports the body’s natural self-healing and self-regulating mechanisms. This approach can effectively guide you back to optimal health. Anne aims to understand the root causes and contributing factors of your health concerns. She considers your entire body as a whole during every examination and treatment. This allows her to provide an individually tailored treatment plan. She also likes to include home exercises and lifestyle advice.
