Ian has been a Registered Massage Therapist since 1994 after graduating the RMT program at Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy in Ontario.
He established Georgiaview Health and Wellness in 1997 to create a place where he could help patients obtain, restore and maintain their physical health.
After 20 years of continuing education courses, Ian found a true passion in Osteopathic techniques and working with the body as a whole and complete structure.
Ian is currently taking courses in his free time to obtain his Doctor of Osteopathy title while maintain a full time permanent practice.
His extensive knowledge and years of experience allow him to see the body in a different perspective than most.
He focuses on the root of the issue rather than only relieving the symptoms.
When Ian is not working at the office he can be found spending time with his family, cooking on the BBQ, out on the lake fly fishing, or joining his friends on the golf course.
Ian is always accepting new patients and currently works at the office from Monday - Saturday.
