Louise Adams is an osteopath grounded in classical osteopathic principles, with a particular interest in the nuanced and often under-explored area of women's health. Her clinical work reflects a deep respect for the body’s capacity for regulation and healing, alongside a commitment to precision, sensitivity, and awareness.

She has experience supporting women with post-surgical recovery, hormonal changes, lymphatic congestion, and complex pain presentations, recognising the breast as part of an integrated whole rather than an isolated structure.

Louise’s teaching aims to bring clarity and confidence to this area of practice. She emphasise’s clinical reasoning, consent, communication, and practitioner awareness.

Sandy Antunes is a Toronto-based osteopathic practitioner with over 20 years of clinical experience and a graduate of the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy. With postgraduate training in Classical, and Aquatic Osteopathy, she is actively involved in international postgraduate teaching.
She is a member of the Institute of Classical Osteopathy (UK), the Ontario Association of Osteopathic Manual Practitioners, the Associação Portuguesa de Osteopatia Clássica, and was previously a director and volunteer with the Society for Osteopathic Wellness.
