Hi everyone, my name is Mark Bourcet. I was born and raised here in Coldstream, BC. I’ve played sports my whole life, specifically hockey and football. Throughout my sports career I’ve had pretty much every injury under the sun, from ankle sprains to ACL tears to concussions. After tearing my ACL, I completely retooled how I trained, focusing on mobility and injury prevention. This led to a real passion for human performance and completing a degree in Kinesiology from UBCO. I figured out quickly that research wasn’t for me. I needed something more hands-on, and I applied to OVCMT. I completed my RMT training and board exams in 2021. I absolutely love high quality movement and, as Gray Cook said, “Move well, then move often.” My primary goal is to use my training and personal experience with injury to help people regain mobility, improve how they move, and hopefully to help them move well for as long as possible.

I’m an osteopathic practitioner who is passionate about helping people move with more ease and less pain! I completed a six-year program at the Canadian School of Osteopathy in Vancouver, and I continue to deepen my knowledge through post-graduate studies with leading experts in osteopathy. My training has given me tools to support and help balance all systems in the body by working on muscles, bones, organs, nerves, and more!

Before osteopathy, my background was in exercise and health sciences, and I also competed as a national-level figure skater. That experience shaped the way I work today — blending an understanding of performance, recovery, and resilience with a whole-person approach to health. I focus not only on helping reduce or resolve your symptoms, but also on helping you understand what caused them in the first place. Exercise and lifestyle strategies are often part of the treatment plan.

I welcome people of all ages, including newborns dealing with reflux, colic, and/or torticolis and expecting mothers. My goal is for you to leave each session with a deeper connection to self, and take home practical tools to help you stay healthier, naturally.

Outside of the clinic, you’ll usually find me hiking with my pup, skiing (x-country & downhill), or pretending to be a cowboy on my cheeky horse Summer.

I’m a proud member of Osteopathy BC, the leading professional association for osteopathic practitioners in British Columbia.

Hi, I’m Cael, your local Osteopathic Manual Practitioner. I’m originally from Barrie, Ontario, but I made Vernon my home in 2021—and nothing compares to having all of my favourite hobbies right in my backyard!

I believe deeply in the body’s innate ability to self-heal and self-regulate. My role is to support that process by helping your body move with more ease, releasing restrictions so your arteries, veins, lymphatics, and nerves can do their jobs efficiently. When the body moves freely, every system benefits—leading to fewer symptoms, more energy, and overall better health.

In treatment, I use gentle hands-on techniques such as myofascial release, muscle energy, and joint articulations. Osteopathy can support a wide variety of concerns including poor mobility, everyday aches and pains, digestive issues, migraines, and more.

My background includes eight years of education in movement and health. I first earned my Honours Bachelor of Physical and Health Education from Nipissing University in North Bay, Ontario. Wanting a deeper understanding of anatomy and physiology—and a way to put that knowledge into practice—I went on to complete a Master in Practice of Osteopathic Manipulative Science at the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy. Over four years, I completed 4,200 hours of training, including 1,000 supervised clinical hours.

I am a professional member of Osteopathy Canada (OSTCAN), which is recognized by Canadian insurance companies and covered under most extended health plans (note: I do not offer direct billing).

I look forward to helping you move better, feel better, and get back to living your highest quality of life!

Sabine Hagen, RCRT (Registered Canadian Reflexology Therapist), LCRT ( Licenced Canadian Reflexology Teacher)

Practicing since 2016

Reflexology is the study of reflexes. Reflexes are clusters of nervous tissue located throughout the body, especially in the hand, feet, and ears. Reflex points are directly connected through the Peripheral Nervous System to specific parts, organs, and glands of the body. Stimulating reflex points relieves tension, improves circulation, and promotes balance to all the systems of the body.

I am continually learning and adding knowledge and understanding to my ability to meet you where you are at.
