Natalie Alexander

M.Ost., Osteopath

Natalie studied in the United Kingdom and received her integrated Master’s of Osteopathy in 2016. She was also awarded the European School of Osteopathy research prize for her Master’s dissertation on the validity of palpation. She later published a research paper in The International Journal of Osteopathic Medicine, which she presented at the UK’s National Centre for Osteopathic Research (NCOR) conference in 2021. She has furthered her education and love of anatomy with 120 hours of human anatomy lab learning at Queen’s University. The osteopathic philosophy recognizing each person as a functioning whole and aiming to get at the root of a problem, is what fascinated her and prompted her study of osteopathy.

Natalie is originally from western Canada but loves the great outdoors and the natural beauty of Nova Scotia. Natalie has worked at the Kingsport Osteopathic Clinic with mentorship from Sarah Hayes since 2016 and is excited also to join the Mid-Valley Health Centre team. People come to her with a wide variety of health concerns from headaches and post-concussion symptoms, lower back and neck pain, to digestive issues or athletic injury. She is appreciated for her intensely caring, highly professional work ethic.

She always welcomes a new challenging patient.

Steven Enman-Beech is a Registered Acupuncturist (R. Ac.) trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) acupuncture techniques, as well as modern biomedical approaches to acupuncture. His practice is based on the belief that traditional and modern medicine are complementary approaches to the same system. This is one of the fundamental laws of yin and yang theory, which is the foundation of TCM philosophy: seemingly opposite forces actually support, nourish, and balance each other. Western science is discovering new ways of looking at concepts that traditional healers have been describing for thousands of years, and traditional approaches to health care are providing new directions for Western medicine to explore in the treatment of difficult conditions. You will encounter this application of yin and yang theory working with Steven, who offers a solid traditional approach with a significant modern influence.

If you have any questions regarding TCM-style acupuncture, please get in touch via email at steven@enmanbeech.com. ​
