Unity Manual Osteopathy: Our Story
|
When we created Unity our goal was simple: to provide exceptional care to clients. Each person who walks through our door is unique and deserves a tailor-made plan to reach their health goals. Our job as therapists is to listen and find the root issue of problems. We then help unlock tissue to create a sense of complete unity in the body. The human body is intelligently designed to work in unison—even the smallest change can have a cascading effect, for better or for worse. We believe the practice of self care is the key that unlocks the body's innate ability to heal itself.
We look forward to seeing you! -Shelley & Zarko, owners |

Shelley Svetanova
Yoga Therapist (currently on maternity leave)
Shelley offers yoga therapy sessions where she tailors the session based on skill level and your physiology, injuries, and goals. Working one-on-one with a yoga instructor is a great way to deepen your yoga practice and support other treatments such as massage therapy, osteopathy, physio therapy, or chiropractic care. For Unity clients who've had a massage or a manual osteopathy treatment, Shelley and Zarko work together to build a custom yoga class and home-care plan to prolong the benefits of the treatment. By day, Shelley works in communications and teaches yoga part-time. She is also a Reiki Master and has collected a myriad of certificates in subjects like metaphysical healing, meditation, leadership development, and change management. She's a Lord of the Rings fan and she enjoys cooking, cat memes, and coffee. While Shelley is on maternity leave (2020-2021), clients interested in Yoga Therapy can contact Mandi Mack.
