My passion for helping others began nearly 20 years ago when I embarked on my journey into medicine. After graduating from medical school, I dedicated myself to serving rural communities in my country, providing care to those in need. As an ER doctor, I treated patients with a wide variety of conditions and pain. However, my time in both general practice and emergency care revealed a critical gap in conventional medicine—I realized that simply prescribing medication was not always enough.

After immigrating to Canada, I was introduced to manual osteopathy, a holistic approach to treating many of the same conditions I had previously managed with prescription drugs. I recognized this as the missing link I had long been searching for.

>Osteopathy emphasizes the body’s innate ability to heal itself, with a deep connection between structure and function. To restore proper function, structural issues must be addressed. The techniques used in osteopathy facilitate natural healing by enabling the body to realign and recover.

In my practice, I utilize a combination of osteopathic techniques to help the body regain its natural alignment and initiate the healing process. My services range from chronic pain relief to craniosacral therapy, and are also offered as preventive care to maintain overall wellness and a pain-free life.

In addition to my clinical practice, I serve as an educator and supervisor for National Academy of Osteopathy Bridge Program where I mentor new graduates as they transition into professional practice.

While I am not working, I enjoy outdoor meditation. As a night-owl, I love to read a book and sometimes write a poem. I never stopped being a night-thinker. I have been to 22 countries in 3 continents and 175 to go and my most precious collection is my travel pictures.

Erwin graduated from Vancouver College of Massage Therapy (VCMT) in August 2023 and brings a thoughtful, hands-on approach to helping people feel their best.

Later on, after undergoing ACL surgery from a sports injury, Erwin saw just how important massage therapy can be during recovery. That experience gave him a deeper understanding of pain, healing, and the value of support—something he carries into every treatment.

While at VCMT, Erwin had the opportunity to work with clients dealing with a wide range of conditions, including fibromyalgia, scoliosis, pregnancy-related discomfort, muscle strains, and disc herniations.
