Martina Bagnoli
Martina Bagnoli comes from Italy and she completed her Bachelor of Science in Osteopathy at Italian Accademy of Osteopathic Medicine (AIMO) and British College of Osteopathic Medicine (BCOM) in 2016. Martina’s approach sees the person as a whole unit in which mind and body are strictly connected. She likes to understand where the pain is coming from by analyzing the body, the movement and the personal lifestyle.
She believes that the patient and the therapist should work together to find the best treatment because each of us is different and has different needs.
Martina uses different types of manual techniques to help with different kinds of disorders such as muscle/articulation pain, chronic pain, stress, temporomandibular (TMD) and postural disorders, headaches, digestive or other visceral disorders.
Over the years Martina realized how much chronic pain is difficult to get rid of and how much this kind of pain interferes with the personal life and this is why she specialized in chronic pain management.
Martina love to work with adults, kids, pregnant women and athletes.

Melisa Dzamastagic
Melisa is the founder of Vancity Osteopathy and is committed to the service of humanity through a deep moving love, proving that the magnitude of Osteopathy will live on. She believes that Osteopathy is not only an alternative to medicine as intended since its conception but also a way of life. She believes that through collaborative, preventative and holistic healthcare, we can make the most significant changes in the overall health of humanity and is committed to doing so.
Her interest in Osteopathy began through her competitive gymnastics career, but Melisa never received an Osteopathic treatment. She was simply so inspired by the founding fathers words, AT Still, that she moved country and began her studies. From what she read, Osteopathy was simple, sensible and logical and she could not understand how more people did not do this.
Melisa completed a Masters in Osteopathy from the British College of Osteopathic Medicine in London, England after completing a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and Biology from Simon Fraser University.
As Melisa grew into her practice she found that children were not only our greatest asset but also our greatest teachers. She believes that the treatment of children is the most impactful way towards preventive medicine and since then she has completed a 6 year paediatric program in Crans Montana, Switzerland. Today Melisa is furthering her studies by repeating the phases of the biodynamic model of Osteopathy in the cranial field and teacher training with her mentor, Dr James Jealous in Oregon.

Julie Fournier
Julie graduated from the EUROSTEO school in Meyreuil, the south of France in June 2023. Prior to Osteopathy, she was a physiotherapist for 10 years, specializing in neurology, rheumatology, respiratory, trauma and paediatric rehabilitation. She also worked with the wounded French Foreign Legionnaires. She felt she was missing something in her practice, so she sought out Osteopathy and found that it perfectly complements her knowledge of physiotherapy. Eager to improve her skills, she continues to take post graduate courses in various areas of Osteopathy every year. Julie loves exploring and learning about culture, that is why she has travelled to more than 20 countries around the world and learned new languages (basics in German and Romanian, a few words in Portuguese, Spanish and Russian). Beyond her professional life, she likes driving her motorcycle, playing guitar, working out (crossfit, running, hiking, skiing, taekwondo black belt) and spending time with friends and family. Julie will be happy to assist and provides care for the whole family of all ages and is experienced in treating babies, children and expectant mothers. Always enthusiastic and passionate in making peoples life better, Julie is keen to help you to get back to maintaining the balance in your body and in your life.

Peter has taken additional courses in TMJD concerns and pregnancy massage, and has worked with individuals training for endurance activities like marathons, triathlons and long distance cycling. Being in Vancouver, he is familiar with both the weekend warriors and those that work in an office environment and understands the concerns that these clients have, especially when those two are combined.
