Book an Appointment with Geneviève

Geneviève is continually amazed by the body’s natural ability to heal itself. It’s that sense of excitement that has driven her long and varied career in natural healthcare – and that still drives her in her work as a Manual Osteopathic Practitioner and Clinic Owner at Full Circle Health Network. She loves being able to think through anatomy and come up with treatments that really “fit” her clients and she is happiest when she has empowered clients to take charge of their own health.

Geneviève opened the original Full Circle Health Network in 2010, which then offered Registered Massage Therapy and later, Classical Osteopathy.  In 2014, Full Circle Health Network expanded and opened up in the beautiful Woolen Mill building into a much larger and more elegant space - it was the best move she ever could have made! Since then, Full Circle Health Network has continued to expand its services, attracting some of the best practitioners in Kingston working in the field of complementary healthcare.

Geneviève holds a Masters in Osteopathic Manipulative Sciences and an Honours Bachelor of Science in Health Studies and Gerontology from the University of Waterloo. She has a 2200-hour Massage Therapy Diploma from the Canadian College of Massage and Hydrotherapy, where she pursued additional training in pre- and post-natal massage care, including high-risk pregnancy care. Clinical experience includes work at the Women’s College Hospital in Toronto, ON, where she provided massage in the antenatal and postpartum units. She has taught Clinical Massage Therapy at Trillium College, and previously worked as a fitness instructor specialist (Can-Fit-Pro), "Varsity" Athletic Trainer, and Ergonomic Contractor and Health & Safety Specialist.

Full Circle Health Network is thrilled to welcome Georgia Katsabanis!

The transformation Pilates has made in Georgia's life is her source of motivation to help people build optimal strength to move with ease and live healthier lives. Having surgery to correct scoliosis at the age of 15 left Georgia adapting to what felt like a new body as she regularly experienced back pain, tense muscles, and loss of flexibility. It was not until she felt the gradual changes in her body from a consistent Pilates practice when she knew there was something different about the Pilates approach. Georgia experienced less back pain on a daily basis and her overall physique started to change as she began to develop a stronger core. Presently, 14 years post-surgery, Georgia can confidently say that there is miracle in movement as Pilates has given her a form of healing she never imagined.

The endless scope of potential that Pilates has for rehabilitation is what truly inspired Georgia to deepen her practice and become a certified instructor. In 2014 she completed her mat teacher certification through Body Harmonics with founder Margot McKinnon as her teacher. Georgia is certified in Reformer and equipment training and is currently working on achieving her Pilates Comprehensive Teacher Diploma through Body Harmonics. She stands by her philosophy that as humans we were designed to move and any personal goal - rehabilitation, injury prevention, a new fitness regime - can benefit from a Pilates practice.

In addition to her Pilates training, Georgia holds a Masters degree in Industrial Relations from Queen's University and is thrilled that current administrative experience in the non-profit health sector will be an asset in her role of Coordinating the FCHN studio. There is nothing quite as rewarding as collaborating with other health and wellness practitioners who learn and grow together in this community.

When not immersed in the wonderful world of Pilates, Georgia enjoys exploring local shops, building her tea collection, hiking, and most importantly being in the presence of Troy, family, friends, and her dog Oddis.

Stay tuned for the fall studio schedule, which will include: Pilates, fitness classes and other wellness workshops!

Andrea is driven by a passion to see everyone experience optimal health utilizing a holistic approach that addresses physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing, as when the health of one is impacted, all will be impacted.

After completing her BA in Sociology, Andrea’s desire to work in a deeply helping capacity directed her into Social Services, working as an Employment Advisor, supporting individuals who were experiencing major life transitions. During this time, Andrea recognized both for herself, as well as for those she worked with, how important it was to regard the whole system when trying to find balance and harmony in one’s life. Upon discovering the profound healing that Reiki and Yoga facilitate, she attained her Karuna Reiki Master and Yoga Teacher Training Certifications in 2008 & 2009.  Andrea also completed a course in Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, as much for her own personal growth as to share the teachings with others.  She combines all of these modalities into her yoga teaching, in order to foster a deeper self-awareness and healing in those she works with.

Andrea felt called to work with individuals faced with a Cancer diagnosis, due to the loss of her mother to Ovarian Cancer in 2013.  She participated in the Yoga4Cancer Teacher Training certification this past spring and she is very eager to be starting Kingston’s first Yoga4Cancer classes and joining the team at Full Circle Health Network.
