OSTEOPATH
Ryan Mercier
Osteopathic Manual Practitioner
Hi, I’m Ryan Mercier — an experienced Osteopathic Manual Practitioner who has recently relocated to Kelowna from Ontario. I hold a four-year Bachelor of Science with a specialization in Psychology from Laurentian University and a four-year Master’s in Osteopathic Manipulative Sciences from the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy.
Growing up, I was always active and involved in sports, which naturally sparked my passion for human movement and biomechanics. This curiosity eventually evolved into a career focused on helping people move, function, and feel better by restoring balance and alignment to the body’s structure.
Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide variety of people — from children and seniors to athletes, desk workers, and tradespeople — and have seen consistent results across all systems of the body. Whether you're dealing with musculoskeletal pain like sciatica, TMJ dysfunction, or chronic back pain; headaches or migraines; preparing for or recovering from surgery; managing digestive issues like IBS, bloating, reflux, or constipation; or navigating respiratory, hormonal, circulatory, lymphatic, or nervous system challenges — osteopathy offers a hands-on approach that supports your body’s natural ability to heal and self-regulate.
Osteopathy uses differential diagnosis to find the root cause of your symptoms, focusing on how one issue can lead to another. By treating the underlying cause, rather than just masking the symptoms, we help restore balance and support your body’s natural healing process.
Additionally, osteopathic treatments are covered under most benefit packages, making it easier for you to access the care you need.
I’m excited to be part of the Kelowna community and look forward to welcoming you to the clinic.
Lisa Nugent
Osteopathic Manual Practitioner
I’m Lisa Nugent, Osteopathic Manual Practitioner.
After graduating from the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy in Ontario, I've been dedicated to helping people move with ease, recover from pain and injury, and feel empowered in their bodies. My approach is hands-on and personalized, combining structural, visceral, and cranial techniques to support the whole body, not just isolated symptoms.
I treat people of all ages, from infants to older adults, with a special interest in pediatrics and prenatal care. Over the years, I’ve taken additional training in oral and facial tissues and continue to expand my knowledge in the care of children and families. Whether I’m supporting a baby with latching or digestive challenges, helping a pregnant client move more comfortably, or working with an active adult to reduce pain and improve performance, my goal is always to restore balance, improve mobility, and support your body’s natural ability to heal.
Originally from Ontario, I moved to Kelowna with my husband and our dog, Malcolm, and I’m now proud to call this beautiful community home. Kelowna has allowed me to stay active, whether I’m hiking with my dog, starting my day with yoga, or exploring the Okanagan by boat with my family.
I often treat conditions like neck and back pain, TMJ dysfunction, tension headaches, postural strain, repetitive stress injuries, and pregnancy-related discomfort. I believe in building lasting therapeutic relationships and empowering people with the knowledge and tools they need to feel their best.
Whether you’re seeking care for yourself or your child, I’m here to help you move better, feel better, and live better.
