Sarah Gagnon
Founder and Director of BMS Wellness, Sarah has been performing and teaching dance including Latin, Modern, Jazz, Afro-Cubana, Afro-Braziliana and Ballroom throughout her career; she achieved her comprehensive Stott Pilates certification in 1998. Since then, Sarah has worked with elite athletes, post-rehabilitation patients and even insurance cases. Her post-rehab Pilates clients have included people with various health conditions such as knee replacements, asthma, hip replacements, Fibromyalgia, Multiple Sclerosis, COPD, Lupus, pregnancy, frozen shoulder, Parkinson's, scoliosis, degenerative disc disease, arthritis, sciatica, spondylosis, breast cancer, as well as people recovering from various accidents and persistent muscular sprain patterns. Her experiences over the years, combined with her own personal experiences as a dancer with Fibromyalgia, opened Sarah's eyes to the fact that totall wellness requires both active and passive healing modalities. Though Pilates is excellent for managing various chronic pain conditions, Sarah realised that scar tissue and other factors can prevent a complete restoration to the individual's pre-injury state. As such, she was on the hunt for a new craft. When Sarah discovered Bowen Therapy, she immediately knew its beauty and awesome power to awaken the body's own healer could help many people deal with chronic pain. Sarah has now added Bowen Therapy to her practice in order to assist the process of pain release, soft tissue restoration and overall healing. Bowen Therapy is very gentle yet profound in its amazing ability to uproot deep sources of pain and blockages from any level of the human being's energy system and simply move them out. Many people experience chronic pain as a result of injuries sustained several years ago. Often, there is scar tissue bound to healthy soft tissue which prevents the muscles from being fully restored to their pre-injury state. If such chronic pain limits the ability to participate in enjoyable activities, it is time to heal it once and for all! Bowen Therapy is a gentle, yet profound, method that can restore health and wellness, regardless of the complaint.
Sarah's need to understand the healing process at a much deeper level has driven her to study classical osteopathy at the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy. Classical osteopathy is a manual treatment modality that has spawned the evolution of other manual methods including chiropractic, cranial-sacral technique, myofascial release technique as well as various manipulative techniques used by physiotherapists. Sarah is currently in her second year after finishing her first year at the top of her class in the Oral/Practical exam. She was subsequently awarded the Osteopathic Growth and Development Award for her class. Her osteopathic studies have helped Sarah understand the Bowen Technique in-depth and has thus improved her skills tremendously. She now integrates osteopathic techniques in all her integrated manual treatments (IMT). Her student osteopathic practice is building quickly though Sarah is still accepting new patients.
