My love for learning about the human body first led me to seeing first-hand how it works through growing up being heavily involved in sports. This love led me to study Human Kinetics at St. Francis Xavier University. While working as a Personal Trainer and Fitness Instructor with the Canadian Military my interest to a more comprehensively way to help clients led me to Massage Therapy. I have worked with Varsity athletes, clients with scars, post partum and delivering mothers, neurologically and developmentally challenged children and members of a retirement residence. I hope to widen my knowledge with training in Osteopathic Manual Manipulations over the coming years.

He received an Honourable Mention for his graduation thesis: “Measure of the effects of osteopathy follow-up on the autonomic nervous system with the Heart Rate Variability”.

Fred is also a graduate in aquatic osteopathy.

He volunteered as an osteopath in many sporting events including the French Championship Athletics and Endurance Motoring.  His adventurous spirit sent him to Morocco as part of the medical team for the rally race "Raid Passion Désert".  As a backpacker, he has travelled to Mont Blanc, United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Mauritius, Reunion, Malta and recently Canada.  Finally, he settled down and decided to call Canada his new home.
