Bart has had an innate interest in healing for years, which has evolved in its expression over time. A BSc in biology and physics has provided a scientific foundation for other health related practices that he has pursued including hatha yoga, mediation, breathwork, whole foods diet, among other approaches that appreciate the interconnectedness of mind and body.

His study of bodywork began in Thailand studying Thai massage. Bart completed massage therapy training in 2004, and has since completed year 2 of a 5-year part-time program of osteopathy, which has informed his massage therapy practice significantly.

Osteopathy is a comprehensive form of bodywork that views the body as an interconnected, integrated whole with the understanding that a dysfunction in one part of the body can affect the entire body. It utilizes a number of treatment approaches that are typically gentle and pain-free.

Treatments informed by his study of osteopathy and remedial exercises involving therapeutic applications of hatha yoga make Bart’s approach to Massage Therapy unique and highly effective.
