MY STORY
About me
Welcome !
I'm glad you're here.
My name is Mathilde Morel Mesgard and I'm an osteopath based in Vancouver, BC. I offer personalized, one-on-one treatments focused on addressing the root cause of your pain — with a gentle, holistic approach that supports long-term well-being.
A Journey Rooted in Healing
My path to osteopathy wasn’t a straight line — it was a personal transformation.
At 18, when asked “What do you want to do with your life?”, my heart knew the answer: I wanted to combine my passion for skiing (as an instructor) with a career in osteopathy. But life took me in a different direction — into the world of sales and the outdoor sports industry.
​Everything changed after a personal health challenge. Following a sudden episode of intense abdominal pain, I was diagnosed with a 12 cm ovarian cyst. Surgery was necessary, and what was meant to be a simple laparoscopy turned into a full abdominal operation, resulting in the removal of one ovary.
That experience marked a turning point. I started asking deeper questions: Why did this happen? What was my body trying to tell me? Through conversations with my family and further research, I discovered the “vanishing twin syndrome” — something that finally brought clarity to many feelings I had carried since childhood.
This sparked a deep inner shift. I reflected on my true purpose and asked myself:Who am I? What kind of life do I want to create?
At 26, I left my corporate job, moved back in with my mom, and returned to school full-time to study osteopathy — a 5-year commitment that I embraced wholeheartedly.​
​
A New Life in Canada
​
Alongside my studies, I always dreamed of living abroad and exploring new cultures. After graduating in June 2023, I spent a few months working in the Lyon area before moving to Vancouver.
​
Since arriving, I’ve fully embraced this new chapter of life — surrounded by nature, mountains, and people from all over the world. I feel deeply grateful to be here and to support my patients on their own healing journeys.
​
Outside the Clinic
​
I'm passionate about the outdoors and stay active through hiking, skiing, yoga, and climbing. I value human connection, and bring empathy, presence, and care to every session.
​
Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, stress, injury recovery, or simply want to reconnect with your body, I would be honored to accompany you.
