Bianca Banfield, DOMP, RMO, BSc PA, CH, RH
Registered Osteopathic Manual Practitioner & Holistic Health Specialist
At the heart of my practice is a simple yet powerful belief: the body possesses an incredible, innate capacity to heal itself. My role as an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner is to guide and support this natural process, helping clients achieve true well-being.
I began my professional journey with a Bachelor of Science in Physician Assistant (BSc PA) through the Medical School Consortium of the University of Toronto, Michener University, and Northern Ontario School of Medicine. From 2015 onward, I gained extensive experience as a Physician Assistant in both primary care and emergency medicine. While this foundation provided me with critical clinical expertise, I sought a deeper approach—one that moves beyond treating symptoms to restoring balance and vitality.
This drive led me into holistic medicine, where I became a Chartered Herbalist (CH) in 2023 and a Master Herbalist (RH) in 2024. I developed expertise in harnessing the therapeutic potential of natural compounds and understanding the body’s interconnected systems.
To integrate my clinical and holistic knowledge, I earned a Diploma in Osteopathic Manual Practice (DOMP) from the National Academy of Osteopathy in Toronto. This advanced training allows me to provide evidence-based manual osteopathy that combines scientific rigor with hands-on, holistic healing techniques.
Whether addressing pain, improving mobility, or supporting overall health, my practice is dedicated to fostering balance, function, and well-being—helping each client feel their best, naturally.
