Lesley Anne Smith

Lesley (she/her) is an Osteopathic Manual Practitioner born and raised in Toronto, and newly living on Manitoulin Island, Ontario. She completed Canada’s highest standard of osteopathic education at the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy in Hamilton Ontario, graduating in 2021.

Lesley has a profound interest in the human body/mind/spirit connection, ever amazed by its nuance and complexity. She has an extensive background of movement practice as a yoga teacher and contemporary dancer. Prior to her osteopathic studies she completed a BFA in contemporary dance at Concordia University, and continued working as a dancer and choreographer in Montreal and Salt Spring Island, BC. Through her movement career Lesley found that osteopathic care was the therapy that most resonated with her, and became deeply inspired to pursue her own osteopathic education. Alongside her practice, she continues to teach movement as a tool to live an embodied and engaged life.
