Hi! My name is Dr. Vanessa and I am a Chiropractor practicing at Oaktree Chiropractic and Acupuncture in Ottawa, Ontario.  I have always been a firm believer that the body was created to heal itself and because of this I knew early on I wanted to be a chiropractor. After earning my Bachelors in Physical Education, I packed up my entire life and moved to the sunshine state where I attended Palmer College of Chiropractic Florida. Once I graduated, I wasn’t prepared to handle the cold white north just yet and accepted an amazing opportunity to practice in Tampa, FL to learn and train with the best doctors. With being so far away from home I then decided to move back closer to my family and friends in Ottawa, Ontario and haven't looked back since. I have spent many years studying the human body, nutrition, mindset and fitness. I am a firm believer in practicing what you preach so this is my lifestyle. I have overcome many challenges throughout my journey, grown from several mistakes, which has led me to provide you with the best education and care that I can. I want my community to experience lifelong health and am committed to helping each and every individual achieve that.
