The Osteo Connection

Episode #153: Nourish Your Soul – Self-Care is Health Care

Self-care is healthcare and as therapists if we don’t take of ourselves, how are we supposed to take care of others? 
We often talk about creating routines to help mitigate stress and take care of our bodies, but in this episode, we're going to go even deeper. Tune in as Kevin shares his personal healing journey and his recent experience with Constellation therapy.

Episode #152: Never Too Late to Kick Off the New Year

After a little hiatus, we’re back with a new episode of The Osteo Connection!
Over the last several weeks we’ve been busy teaching another live round of our MBO program. 
The beauty of the MBO is that it’s a deep dive into self-reflection to understand why you are where you’re at in practice, then we incorporate simple systems, steps and support to get to where you want to go. It’s been an incredible experience meeting new students, walking them through the process and seeing them hit their goals and make the impact they want in their business.
Tune in to this week’s episode as we reflect on the experience so far!

Have you ever stopped to think about what energy you are bringing into your practice?
This week we talk about how branding is your key to authentically defining and positioning yourself and your clinic to become a magnet for your most desired clients.

Episode #142: Routine, Resistance and The Living Bone with Jacob Simonini

It’s so important to have a consistent routine so that you take charge of your day and aren’t just reacting to the events and external factors that come up throughout the day. As well as having a routine to reset and rebalance your energy between clients so that you enter every session prepared and ready to give your patient all the energy they deserve and to ensure that you show up as the best version of yourself.
In this episode, we sit down with Jacob Simonini, Osteopath and Integration 2023 Keynote Speaker. Jacob is incredibly passionate about osteopathy and shares about his 4:30 am wake-ups and what he does in his routine to be a better person for his family and his clients.
 
ABOUT JACOB
Jacob is an Osteopath whose career began as an Advanced Care Paramedic with many other focuses in the medical field. Jacob was a clinical instructor in the Advanced Care Paramedic program, a preceptor for Advanced Care Paramedic students, and studied and researched alongside a team of physicians involved in prehospital trauma and cardiac arrest examination. Looking for a new challenge and a more in-depth understanding of human bodies, Jacob began his osteopathic career at the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy (CAO). Later, Jacob received a Master of Osteopathic Manual Science (MOMSc) and pursued a professional position as a member of the Ontario Osteopathic Association (OOA). Jacob betters his patients to the utmost ability using osteopathic skills and reasoning. The central idea Osteopathy teaches and what Jacob tries to preach and apply during treatments is that the practice seeks to free the natural healing capabilities of the body.
Moreover, each treatment Jacob gives is tailored to every individual and the condition of their body. Due to the inability to truly identify the human body’s unique capabilities and never-ending true potential, Jacob continuously pursues the study of Osteopathy with the utmost diligence and dedication to challenging himself, knowing the answer to the body’s authentic potential will never be discovered. In doing so, Jacob pushes his limits and aspires to follow Marcus Aurelius’ noble words: “It takes courage to practice something that can never be mastered”
