Our Team

Gabriel Linger

BHSc (Osteo) M.HSc (Osteo), FAFS (fellow of applied function science), GPS (golf performance specialist), Lv 3 and infant crainosacral.

Gabriel Linger’s fascination with the human body began early, fueled by his own experiences with sports injuries. His exposure to a variety of practitioners—especially Osteopaths—ignited a lifelong passion for the field.

In 2015, Gabriel earned his Master’s in Osteopathy from Victoria University. After gaining experience in Melbourne, he expanded his expertise by studying functional movement at the Gray Institute in Michigan, USA. Gabriel then practiced in Calgary, where he had the privilege of being mentored by Edward Paget, a renowned Osteopath and global leader in scoliosis treatment. During his time in Alberta, he also connected with local First Nations groups through healing ceremonies, sparking a continued exploration of Indigenous and alternative healing philosophies.

Now based in Penticton, BC, Gabriel enjoys spending time outdoors when not with his wife and son. His commitment to his clients is unwavering—whether their goal is to excel in sports, yoga, hiking, or simply move pain-free, Gabriel equips each individual with the knowledge and tools they need to thrive.

Annaka Ramsay

Diploma RMT (in AB only), Lv 3 Craniosacral, MFC (myofascial cupping), Reiki lv 2, Postpartum and Birth Doula

My healing journey started when I was a young girl. My grandma would always practice healing touch on me and that inspired my curiosity for the healing arts. After completing my 2200 hr RMT program in Alberta (not registered in BC) I quickly realised that something was missing from my practice, which lead me to reiki. I believe that by using both modalities brings more of a holistic long lasting treatment. I since then have also added cranial sacral therapy, doula training as well as cupping to my practice and am always curious to learn more. I believe that each individual has the innate ability to heal themselves given the right environment and I love providing a space filled with love for everyone to learn and grow! I look forward to meeting you all.

Emma Stewart

Emma was born and raised in the Fraser Valley of BC and spent the first 10 years of her career as a professional dancer, working on film and TV sets, cruise ships, and music videos. When her health began to decline rapidly, she made the challenging decision to retire from dance and focus on healing. Over the next few years, she dedicated herself to learning how to naturally support her body's healing processes. Experiencing firsthand the transformative power of proper support and the right tools, Emma decided to transition into a new career.

For the past three years, she's been working as a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Integrative Life Coach, and Somatic Trauma Therapy Coach. In her practice, Emma is dedicated to supporting clients with hormone health, fertility, gut health, autoimmunity and weight loss using a bio-individual approach. She promotes the consumption of real nutrient-dense foods, helps clients find deep nourishment and addresses the root causes of their health concerns. Emma believes that health should be looked at and supported from the WHOLE self (body, mind and soul) not just one organ or approach.

Outside of work, Emma lives on a rural homestead in the Kootenay-Boundary area with her husband, where they grow food, raise animals, and foster a deep connection with nature.

Angela Currie

I am a Registered Yoga teacher and Fascial stretch Therapist with a background in Physio Assisting. I grew up in Northern Ontario where I competitively figure skated for 16 years. This led me to a fascination with the human body, which led me to practicing FST in Toronto, ON with athletes, mental health, stress relief and wellness. This lead me to the world of alternative therapy and the desire to learn how our bodies work and how to heal physically, mentally and spiritually. I’m beyond thrilled to live in BC and help those along their healing process!

Jamie Stuckel

is a dedicated wellness practitioner with extensive training in Somatic Movement Education (SME). Self-motivated by nature and her own journey of overcoming lifelong back pain, Jamie empowers clients to reclaim their vitality to live pain-free. Her SME training is based on the pioneering work of Dr. Thomas Hanna, who developed Clinical Somatic Education to retrain the nervous system, release tension, and improve mobility and well-being.

Jamie challenges conventional views on aging by emphasizing a holistic approach that addresses both physical and energetic dimensions of well-being. "It was clear to me at a very young age that my health was a direct result of my choices. I knew that I wanted to live a healthy life."

Meeting Jamie feels like bumping into an old friend you hadn’t realized you were missing.  Her warmth and open demeanour align perfectly with her practice.  In addition to being a 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with specialized training in Yin and Chair Yoga, Jamie is also trained in Access Bars. She is excited to share her somatic education and holistic approach to better health.

Whether you’re an athlete, yoga enthusiast, or just seeking to move without pain, SME is for everyone. All life events and experiences shape physical patterns in the body, and SME helps address and improve these patterns. All you need is a mat, a willingness to learn and a desire for better health

Marie-Eve

Marie is a conscious and connected breathing facilitator, somatic coach, teacher and counsellor.
She is passionate about human relationships, personal development, nature, and she is
addicted to backpacking trips. Her studies as a teacher in special education, as well as in social
work, allow her to combine the help, creativity and dedication needed in those fields into her
work as a breathwork facilitator. It was after having experienced multiple concussions that she
discovered the power of breathwork, then somatic work, in order to help her regulate her
nervous system and free herself from the stress stored in her body. She is now starting a
mission to share the power of these two modalities which serve her so much on a daily basis.
She offers personalized breathwork sessions, group sessions, somatic coaching and counseling
sessions. Marie has completed a 400 hour course as a breathwork facilitator with Essence du
