Sonya Zakharia

Sonya has over 14 years of experience in the healthcare and wellness field, including work at a large osteopathic clinic in London, Ontario, as well as in a hospital and a disability organization. She is a certified yoga instructor with 500 hours of training and has taught movement therapy, meditation, breathing techniques and fitness to individuals with disabilities. She also has experience in Ayurveda and has offered Ayurvedic massage.

Before healthcare, Sonya earned a Bachelor's Degree of Social Sciences in Business and Economics and a Diploma in Business Accounting, and worked in human resources and healthcare administration. Her own health challenges led her to osteopathy. She completed an intensive study program of more than four years to earn her Masters in Osteopathic Manipulative Sciences from the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy, and she is licensed with the Ontario Osteopathic Association.

Her personal experience with how injuries affect the body helps her connect with patients as whole people. She has treated a wide range of patients, from infants to older adults, with the goal of finding the root causes of symptoms.
