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
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.

He has helped me with my hip pain I suggest if you have any pain at all to try him outPosted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to see Dominick for my daughter (10 y) who has been complaining from severe pain in her hips, legs and feet. After the first session, my daughter's pain almost disappeared. After a couple of sessions, my daughter was feeling much better - almost pain free - and had more energy ! Dominik is a wonderful osteopath. He was right away able to identify the source of the problem and recommended an easy and practical solution that we implemented. The result was amazing! He is highly professional, kind and gentle! He always made sure that my daughter was comfortable during the treatment and that she had the proper follow-up (including urgent appointments)! He always took the time to explain the treatment and the next steps! I highly recommend him! Thank you Dominick for your help and support!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing in a most positive and unexpected way. Dominick is a truly gifted healer.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot say enough about Dominick’s positive impact on my health. I suffer from arthritis and general inflammation that had been debilitating. In 2015 he helped me eliminate foods that were causing my inflammation, and within a few weeks I went from barely walking to running and boxing. I lost at least 20 pounds and my health got significantly better in several ways. I only needed two sessions with him! Years later I started suffering from severe pain in my neck and back - I did several medical test, chiropractic, Physio etc and no one could help me. So I went back to Dominick. Within five sessions I have not felt significant pain again. It felt like a miracle. Dominick is kind, patient, trustworthy and doesn’t nickel and dime you nor has he ever tried to sell me supplements or anything else. He is a compassionate and wonderful healer. I only recommend that you come to him with an open mind as some of his practices may seem unconventional but yield life changing results.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dominick has an intuitive sense of reading the body and identifying the areas that need to be remedied. The diagnosis and remedies are beyond identification of the surface issues and his aim is to correct the root of the problem. He is gentle in his manner and works according to the needs of the patient.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Can’t recommend him highly enough!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I always go to Dominick when I am in acute pain. I know I should not wait that long but that's me. Anyway, he always fixes me so quickly and efficiently it's like magic! Been following him for years now.
