Derek Defaria Osteopathy

I grew up in Ontario and moved to British Columbia in my early 20's. It was here that I met my soon to be wife and fell in love with the mountains. Following this I lived in Australia and travelled the world finally coming back to my home roots in Ontario where I attended the Canadian academy of Osteopathy whilst I was a big brother for young teens in foster care. After graduation, I was drawn back to BC where I relocated to Kelowna with my wife Renee, son Brody and dog Benji. I have always been involved in sports, snowboarding, hockey, lacrosse & golf. It was here that I personally learnt the impact of Osteopathy after many sporting injuries. Growing up in a house with a mother that was an Osteopathic Practitioner, I saw the lasting effects she made on people's lives and this was something that I wanted to carry on.
