Leandri Kers

I aim to create harmony within my clients, creating a space to support the body's natural ability to restore health, allowing it to respond with vitality and resilience.

I’m Leandri Kers - Craniosacral Therapist & Osteopathic Techniques

Bringing 15 years of experience to her health and wellness practice, Leandri offers gentle and intuitive osteopathy, helping clients feel calm, balanced, and more connected to their bodies.

Her professional journey began in South Africa, where she practiced as an optometrist for over six years. After moving to Canada in 2016, Leandri discovered the profound healing benefits of osteopathy while working with concussion patients in a behavioural optometry clinic.

Inspired by the holistic belief that each person has the innate capacity to heal, she is now in her final year of a Diploma in Osteopathy Manual Practice at the Sutherland-Chan School of Osteopathy (formerly Canadian College of Osteopathy).

Leandri's ongoing training and areas of focus include:

· Concussion therapy
· Pediatrics and child development
· Women's health, including fertility, pregnancy, and birth
· Craniosacral therapy
· Chronic pain management

With a compassionate and client-focused approach, Leandri listens intently to her clients, creating a space to release tension, restore balance, and renew the mind, body, and spirit. Her treatments are so calming that clients often achieve profound relaxation, leaving them refreshed and recharged.

When she's not helping clients feel their best, Leandri enjoys spending time outdoors with her husband, daughter, and golden retriever. A book lover, she always has a travel novel at her bedside table and secretly dreams of having the superpower to time travel.

Recently I have completed courses at The Institute of Functional Medicine and am currently enrolled in Functional Diagnostic Nutrition. I firmly believe nutrition and physiology are essential to a person’s health and well-being. 

I am always interested in learning and I am constantly on the lookout for courses that will further enrich my understanding of the human body and health.

Every person is unique with their own lived history and story. Genetics, biomechanics, and environment all impact health, which is why every client receives individualized care. The goal is to teach you how to listen to your body, to recognize when things are not quite right, and to take proactive control over your health. 

A multidisciplinary approach is often required which is why I use osteopathy as a foundation but incorporate functional medicine and nutrition into my practice. If referrals are required I have a wonderful group of colleagues I trust.
