For women and parents who feel everything deeply
So many of the people I meet are carrying more than anyone around them can see.
A nervous system that’s overwhelmed doesn’t always look dramatic from the outside —
it shows up in quiet, exhausting ways like tension, pain, worry, disrupted sleep,
digestive changes, or a child who reacts intensely to the world.
You’re not imagining this.
Your body (or your child’s) is communicating.
For Women
-
chronic stress or emotional load
-
feeling “on alert” or easily overwhelmed
-
persistent pain or tightness
-
anxiety or sensitivity
-
exhaustion that never fully resets
-
gut, hormonal, or sleep changes
For Children
- emotional intensity or meltdowns
- sensory overwhelm
- sleep struggles
- gut issues
- difficulty with transitions
- “Velcro” attachment or shutdown patterns
Hi, I’m Dominick — and I help people who feel sensitive, overwhelmed, or stuck
For over twenty years, I’ve worked with women and children whose symptoms didn’t have a clear explanation —
pain that moved around, anxiety that made no sense, cycles of sensitivity, gut issues,
or emotional patterns that kept repeating.
Most people arrive here feeling unheard or misunderstood.
My work gently brings together:
-
osteopathy
-
applied kinesiology & Autonomic Response Testing
-
emotional trauma release
-
functional medicine
-
TCM principles
to understand the deeper reasons your system is struggling.
My approach is simple:
We follow what your nervous system is ready for — never forcing, never rushing, always listening.
A gentle guide for women who feel everything deeply
If your body has been feeling confusing — tired but wired, heavy yet restless, full of symptoms that don’t quite add up — you’re not alone. Many of the women I see in Ottawa have been told “everything looks normal,” even as they know something deeper is going on.
I created a free guide called “Why Your Body Feels This Way” for women who feel everything deeply and want a gentler, more straightforward way to understand what their bodies are trying to say.
Inside, you’ll find calm explanations and gentle reflections around:
-
How your nervous system and past experiences can shape what you feel in your body today
-
Why symptoms can flare in times of stress, grief, or busyness — even when nothing “big” seems wrong
-
Ways to see your symptoms as communication, not failure or weakness
There’s no homework and no pressure to “fix” anything. This is simply a quiet place to start understanding your body with more kindness and less self-blame.

A gentle, step-by-step way to understand what your body is carrying
Three Steps:

1. Listen
We begin by understanding what your body, your history, and your life have been holding
-
2. Test
Using Applied Kinesiology and ART, we identify what your system is prioritizing — from structural tension to gut stress to emotional imprints.
-
3. Support
Treatment is gentle and nervous-system-led. Your body sets the pace. We follow it.
