About Me

WHO AM I?

Hi there! I’m Madeleine Cooper, RMT, D.O.M.P., D.Sc.O, CDT.

I am the practitioner behind Repose. My goal is to help you feel your best and achieve your wellness goals. I named my clinic Repose because I truly believe that rest, sleep, and tranquility are so important for our overall health and well-being.

I specialize in osteopathy – a holistic and natural approach to healthcare that focuses on interconnectedness. I believe that our bodies are inherently connected to nature and to each other, and that by treating the whole person and not just the symptoms, we can achieve true healing.

WHY SHOULD YOU CHOOSE ME ?

I use my 10+ years of experience in clinical practice and 8 years of combined formal education in manual osteopathy, massage therapy, lymphatic drainage, amongst others to help you overcome a wide range of issues.

Whether you’re dealing with headaches, congestion, swelling, constipation, poor posture, sleep problems, back pain, neck pain, arthritis, or stiffness in your joints or muscles, I can help. I take a personalized approach to care, working closely with you to create a treatment plan that’s tailored to your unique needs and goals.

My mission is to help you find a place of repose – a state of rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation where you can feel your best.

If you’re looking for a warm, inviting, and tranquil environment where you can receive thoughtful and methodical care, then Repose is the place for you. Let’s work together to achieve your wellness goals and get you feeling your best!

MY SPECIALTIES

Lymphatic Drainage

I studied lymphatic drainage through the lens of massage therapy, as well as osteopathy. I continued my studies for another year outside of these programs to become CDT certified (Combined decongestive therapy). This certification allows me to work with people who have lymphedema, cancer or other complications of the lymphatic system. It also allowed me to become knowledgeable about compression garments, the fitting process and maintenance within this field.

Once I was CDT certified, I then worked for a year at Markham Lymphatic Center. It was here where I gained valuable clinical experience working exclusively with people who have lymphatic pathologies.

Palliative Care

I am passionate about palliative care and welcome a conversation on the topic. My interest in palliation began back in 2012 when I was involved with my grandfather’s dying process. After that experience, I started volunteering for a hospice.

I became involved in palliative care professionally, completing palliative massage courses with Christine Sutherland and a certification in Contemplative End of Life Care from the Institute of Traditional Medicine. I then went on to research and successfully defend my thesis titled “The Effects of Osteopathic Manual Practice During End-of-Life Care.”

Now that I am freshly relocated to Kitchener, I am looking for ways to bring my skills and knowledge to this new community. Do not hesitate to reach out to me with inquiries or opportunities within this field.
