About Susan
Founder of 3 SEAS Osteopathy - warm, approachable, highly professional care for animals and their owners in Ontario.
Experience & Training
My professional background includes over 40 years as a nurse specialist, providing a strong foundation in healthcare, clinical observation, and patient assessment.
I subsequently qualified as an animal osteopath, earning my International Diploma in Animal Osteopathy, Int’l DipAO (LCAO).
My lifelong involvement with animals includes breeding, training, and showing dogs; breeding and showing cats; and decades of experience with horses, particularly in endurance riding.
Today, through 3 Seas Osteopathy in Ontario, I combine my healthcare background, formal osteopathic training, and extensive experience with all three species to provide individualized animal osteopathy focused on mobility, comfort, and quality of life
