Chiropractor
Susanne Morris D.C.
I began my journey by studying sciences in University, focusing on biology. However, I soon realized that I didn't want to study rats in a laboratory. I wanted to help people in a hands on way. I wanted to help people become healthier. I discovered that chiropractic really spoke to me because chiropractic works with the body, not against the body.
Everything about chiropractic medicine made sense to me. I realized that it was a holistic and natural way to complete wellness. It was the path I knew I needed to take to make a difference in so many lives. I am passionate about helping families live their best lives ... beginning with Mom's. Because I am a mom and a doctor with over 20 years of experience, I know what it takes to be successful at both. We are often the center of the family and doing it all, so we need to have the energy and well-being to rise to all occasions. I love working with Mom's because ultimately it means I get to work with, and make a difference in, the lives of the whole family.

Registered Certified Reflexology Therapist
Gemma Smiddy R.C.R.T.
Gemma gained her Reflexology Association of Canada (RAC) Foot certification in 2016 and went on to gain her Hand, Ear and Dien Chan Facial reflexology certification. She is a member of The Association of Reproductive Reflexologists and the Alberta Chapter of RAC.
Gemma believes that the human body is infinitely intelligent and that with the right support, it can begin to bring itself back to a balanced, healthy state. What originally drew her to reflexology is that not only is it a gentle therapy, but she is able to work on the entire body by touching only the feet, hands, ears or face. As a reflexologist, Gemma is able to stimulate all of the muscles, the spine, each organ and the glands such as the thyroid, adrenals and pituitary in one treatment.
"To me, this is what sets reflexology apart and is the reason why my clients experience such amazing benefits from it."
Originally from England, when she's not working you'll find her with Ralph, her dog, volunteering with Pause4Change dog rescue or hiking in The Rockies.
Muscle Activation Techniques Practitioner
John Fosty M.A.T.
John Fosty is our Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) Practitioner. He received his specialist certification in Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) in 2017 and his RxMAT certification in 2021. He is ecstatically pleased to offer the newest form of MAT, the NueX MAT.
This MAT form uses electrostimulation along with rehabilitative exercises on targeted dysfunctional muscles and associated nerves to help establish a new muscle motor pattern.
Once the new muscle motor pattern is established, it must be practiced and repeated over time to replace the faulty compensatory pattern and restore the proper movement pattern as the default. This muscle re-training allows for the restoration of optimal muscle range of contraction, thus allowing the client to gain more strength, stability and greater flexibility. The ultimate result allows the patient to become more active with minimal pain. If you are looking for a long-term solution to muscle pain, MAT could be the game changer for you.
When John is not working on muscle activation techniques he can be found enjoying walks in the park while holding hands with his girlfriend, Lorrie.
