The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Do you remember that catchy Staples commercial about September being the most wonderful time of the year for parents? In Calgary, September means a big dump of snow and this year is no exception… so for the skiers and snowboarders I guess it is a wonderful thing!

For us here at Unity, September usually means the start of our busy season. And indeed, September has been an ultra-productive month of teaching at MCG College and getting our new clinic space all set up.

Speaking of… there are a few things we want you to know about our upcoming move in October:

1. A new location – Unity will be on the second floor of a heritage building (built in 1912!) in NW Calgary, so you can expect cozy, old school charm. Oh, and free parking.
2. A new look – with our new space comes a very subtle re-brand from “Unity Osteopathy & Massage” to “Unity Manual Osteopathy”… but don’t worry, this doesn’t mean massage is going away any time soon, it just reflects my long-term plan to increase my focus on osteo, which treats the root causes of pain.
3. A new face in the new space – the new space will have two treatment rooms, and my wonderful colleague Mandi Mack will be running her practice from the other room. 

Mandi is a phenomenal therapist, her long list of designations include: RMT, Ayurvedic Marma-Therapist trained in Tongue and Pulse diagnosis, Traditional Thai Therapist including Cupping and Scraping, Pregnancy massage, Plant Spirit Medicine, Yoga Instructor, and Yoga Therapist, Sports Massage, Lymphatic Drainage, and Quantum Touch.

We really hope you’ll like the new space as much as we do! As with most big renovation projects, it never truly feels “finished” so we will be in a bit of a transition phase while we work out minor details and the finishing touches. As always, we welcome your feedback as we settle in.

Big thanks to everyone who provided us feedback through our survey in the summer. We heard you want a central space close to our existing location, and that free parking and a cozy atmosphere are the most important. We’re happy to say we’ve ticked all these boxes!

​Here are the official results:

Until next time,
