Chiropractic Care
Dr. Michelle Kobayashi (Breker), DC.,
Chiropractor
Dr. Michelle grew up on a grain farm near a small town in Saskatchewan. She attended the University of Saskatchewan in the College of Kinesiology and although she initially was planning to be an elementary school teacher, she decided to pursue chiropractic which allowed her to combine all of her passions: health, education, and children. She moved to Minneapolis, Minnesota to attend Northwestern Health Sciences University where she got her Doctorate of Chiropractic - summa cum laude (with the highest distinction). Dr. Michelle is always striving to learn more and took extra classes, seminars, and courses to allow her to deliver high quality care to her patients. Her desire to serve mothers and children also led her to become certified as a childbirth educator, labour/postpartum doula, and breastfeeding counsellor. She uses gentle and specific chiropractic techniques to influence the nervous system and, in turn, allow the body to heal and regenerate. It is her passion to work with entire families, especially pregnant/postpartum women and their children. This is why she is certified in Webster Technique (for pregnant women) and a member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA). Dr. Michelle lives in Oxford County with her husband (who is also a chiropractor) and her young daughter. Outside of caring for others with chiropractic, Michelle enjoys being with family, trips to Saskatchewan, reading, playing card/board games, and all things active such as hiking and canoeing!
Dr. Michelle’s philosophy is that health and wellness goes beyond pain sensations. The body is complex and runs through signals sent through the nervous system. Nervous system interference can manifest itself as a variety of different health concerns. Specific chiropractic adjustments remove this interference so the brain and the body can communicate more effectively, allowing the body to heal and adapt. This is how we become able to experience true wellness.
Her goal is to allow patients to be heard, to educate on health, wellness, and the nervous system, and to use chiropractic care to help them reach their own health goals so they can live life well.
Dr. Michelle is also certified in the Webster’s technique which is a technique designed for pregnant women. It focuses on balancing the pelvis to create the most optimal environment for the baby and to keep mom comfortable. Through this technique and others that Dr. Michelle uses, women frequently report decreased lower back pain, sciatica, heartburn, round ligament pain, and pubic pain, as well as reduced labour/delivery times (YAY!).
Dr. Jasmin Maxymowich, DC.,
Chiropractor
Dr. Jasmin is a family chiropractor who is passionate about helping families feel and function at their best. Her mission is to help others understand the true meaning of health, and educate on the importance of brain-body communication. She understands that stress plays a pivotal role in how our bodies are able to function and thus, provides chiropractic care to allow her patients’ bodies to better adapt to life's stressors.
In her practice, Dr. Jasmin takes a neurofunctional approach and prioritizes the health of the nervous system. She uses specific chiropractic adjusting techniques (Thompson, Webster, & Activator) to ensure her patients nervous systems are clear and functioning at their best. Jasmin has a special focus in women’s health and pediatrics. Supporting women through fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum is a role that she never takes for granted. She also helps support babies and toddlers through their developmental milestones, digestive, feeding and sleep challenges, and provides parents with the confidence to navigate these chapters with ease.
In her spare time Dr. Jasmin enjoys going on hikes, spending time with family, and playing with her young daughter. She became a mom in the Fall of 2023 and has become even more passionate about sharing chiropractic care with other parents and babies.
Dr. Jasmin is a member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), and has certified in the Webster Technique, Thompson Adjusting technique, P.I.P.S (Pediatric Intraoral Palate Specific) technique, and has furthered her understanding of the needs of pediatric and prenatal populations through many continuing education courses. She has a strong desire to support whole families in achieving their health goals.
She looks forward to working with you and your family!
