Sanja Joly, OMT, RMT

Osteopath/RMT

With over 30 years of hands-on clinical experience, Sanja takes a comprehensive, whole-body approach to Manual Osteopathy. She integrates techniques across fascial release, craniosacral therapy, and visceral manipulation to assess structural alignment, relieve chronic tension, and restore natural mobility. Working with patients of all ages—including children—Sanja focuses on identifying the root causes of physical imbalance, helping your body tap into its innate capacity to heal, realign, and move with ease.

Sanja (Sonja) began her studies at West Coast College of Massage Therapy over 30 years ago. She spent the first nine years of her professional practice in Vancouver, where her curiosity and commitment to continued learning led her to explore a variety of complementary approaches, including Craniosacral Therapy, Neurostructural Integration, Zero Balancing, and LaStone Therapy. Outside of her practice, she devoted much of her time to exploring movement and body awareness through yoga and Pilates.

Sanja’s journey then took her to Toronto, where she began a family and developed a growing interest in working with children. This chapter of her career inspired her to explore approaches such as Touch for Health and fascial work, with a focus on supporting structural alignment and healthy development. Although her time in Toronto was relatively brief, it was a meaningful chapter filled with the energy and opportunities of a vibrant city.

For the past 17 years, Calgary has been home. During this time, Sanja’s focus shifted toward raising her family while continuing to expand her professional knowledge, including training in Visceral Therapy.

After decades of clinical practice and accumulated experience, Sanja found herself increasingly interested in the deeper questions of health, healing, and the body’s natural capacity for balance. This curiosity led her to Manual Osteopathy, which became her next area of study and professional growth.

Today, Sanja brings together the knowledge and experience she has gathered throughout her career, returning to the foundational principles behind the many modalities she has studied. Her approach is grounded in a desire to understand the body as a whole and to support genuine health, balance, and healing in the people she works with.
