Meet Shawn D’Souza
Manual Osteopathic Practitioner
After graduating from the University of Toronto with a degree in computer engineering, Shawn originally pursued a career in the IT industry. Yet, something was missing. He spent years and years experimenting and trying different things but never really found the right fit until he discovered osteopathy. He learned how to engage with the body’s innate ability to heal and regulate itself to bring about lasting change within a person.
Shawn’s journey included 15 years as an entrepreneur and small business owner in manufacturing. “That time shaped me and really instilled a strong desire to live a life of service.” This perspective has influenced his approach to osteopathy, blending technical expertise with a deep commitment to helping others.
Expertise Backed by a Holistic Perspective
Shawn graduated from the Canadian College of Osteopathy, where he gained a strong foundation in anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics. He incorporates musculoskeletal, visceral, and cranial techniques to help people restore functionality, improve quality of life, and manage their health.
As an active member of the Ontario Association of Osteopaths, Shawn is committed to providing the highest level of care and maintaining best practices for professional standards and ethical conduct.
Personalized Care for Every Patient’s Needs
First and foremost an advocate for the patient, Shawn recognizes each individual as unique in body, mind, and experience. Listening to each patient’s story, responding to their unique situation, and incorporating a multidisciplinary approach, he strives to offer each patient the best way forward into health.
Continual Education and Collaborating for the Benefit of Patients
A recipient of the Andrew Taylor Still Award for his research intersecting cognitive science with osteopathic practice, Shawn continues to study how osteopathy can be effectively understood and applied in patients’ lives.
Shawn was excited to join the LiveWell Health and Wellness team to bring his unique skills set and experiences into collaboration with a set of professionals dedicated to helping others live their fullest lives.
