Joel was born in Eastern Canada, Saint John, New Brunswick. Born into a very active family, Joel played hockey in the winter and golf in the summer. Joel relocated with his family to Victoria in 1996. The natural world inspired Joel to pursue microbiology and biochemistry at the University of Victoria, where he earned his BSc. With a desire to learn about new cultures, he travelled to various countries in South America before finding his way back to Vancouver Island.
In 2015, Joel completed a certification in Rolfing. His thirst for knowledge, along with more refined tools to help clients, lead Joel to a Diploma in Osteopathy from the National Academy of Osteopathy in 2017. After five years of practice, he strongly believes that anybody has the ability to change. To be strong, flexible, and resilient, we just need the right environment, and we need to be inspired to change.
