Jill Bodak

Jill is a Canadian Academy of Osteopathy graduate and has been in private practice since 2013. Also a Kinesiology grad from Lakehead University (HBK), Jill has spent the last 15+ years studying human movement. Her previous work as an Anatomy Instructor, Certified Personal Trainer and Movement Teacher inform her practice in an ongoing way. She is currently focused on new ways of teaching people about the overlap of breath, body and sound through the lens of anatomy. She studies the role of voice and sound in structural health with her teacher Fides Krucker and offers extended sessions online and in-person to people interested in this work. She writes and speaks publicly about the intersection of Wellness + Mortality- and how the wellness industry can do better to address the realities of living in a human body.

Jill’s interests beyond osteopathic practice include kids, dogs and moving her own body in new and nourishing ways. She is committed to creating safe and inclusive, body-positive spaces. She strives to contribute personal effort to anti-oppression work by being brave enough to acknowledge her own position in the wellness industry and the ways in which she can resource that privilege in order to serve others. In her 12th year of private practice, Jill is most inspired by the depth of her in-person work and the way that work is evolving to include a larger discussion around what it means to be well. *Current rates are set to allow sliding scale opportunities to patients in financial need on an individual basis.
