TESTIMONIALS

Inka Uppal DO(MP)

Inka UPPAL Osteopathic Therapy

Inka Uppal Is currently not taking any new clients.

It was the beauty of movement that originally sparked Inka’s passion in Osteopathy. She sought after movement under many disciplines such as yoga, tai chi and dance. Inka first discovered Osteopathy as a patient, after incurring an injury at the age of 21. She was utterly fascinated by the discipline. After one visit to a local Osteopath, she went to the local library and devoured all of the books she could find on Osteopathy. At the time Inka lived in Finland, and realized she needed to leave the country in order to study Osteopathy to the level she desired. It seemed impossible for a broke Literature and Philosophy student to achieve, and it felt as though the odds were stacked against her. Inka’s dream was big enough, her intuition was right, and eventually she found a way to make it happen. She moved to London to study at the British School of Osteopathy. After rigorous academic training, a Master’s thesis, and over 1000 hours of supervised clinical experience, Inka received a Master's Degree in Osteopathy with Distinction in 2010.

Inka practiced and lived in London and Yorkshire in the UK. After graduation, her first endeavour was to learn as much about functional movement as possible, and incorporate it into her practice. In 2011 she completed the GIFT mentorship at the Gray Institute, and multiple workshops with Movement Culture (Ido Portal method) teachers in the years following.

Living in the UK, Inka had missed the access to nature, and felt deprived of that connection that had been so essential while growing up in Finland. Culturally Finns are so very deeply connected to nature - Inka grew up foraging and roaming in the woods and swimming in lakes all year round. She felt the longing in her bones. In the beginning of 2012 she moved to Calgary, and found ways to foster that relationship, as well as serve the local community .

As she and all of her practices have matured, the outward expression of movement has subdued, and is now only one of Inka’s interests. She maintains her daily practice, but it ranges from yoga to strength training, hiking, biking, movement drills, and energy cultivating work. After a lifetime of practice, she has a deep awareness of what her body requires, and has become very flexible with providing the inputs it needs rather than what “looks good”. Health and vitality have taken more of a centre stage, and studies in Visceral Osteopathy, Holistic Lifestyle Coaching, Craniosacral Therapy and Biogeometry, have added new layers to her practice. Inka would love to be a companion on your journey.

Rev. Erin Harper

White Raven Spirit

Erin Harper is a Metaphysical Minister who respects all religions. The White Raven Spirit is her soul's purpose in serving others. She was born and raised in the heart of Northern Saskatchewan. What many did not see or know about her was that she grew up with spirits. From childhood through her teenage years and into adulthood, she lived in fear of what she could see, hear, and feel. There seemed to be a calling from Spirit.

At the age of 14, Erin was piloting aircrafts on her own, and by 17, she became a commercial pilot. Erin moved to Calgary to become a Flight Instructor. However, life took a challenging turn when she lost her vision due to severe migraines, leading to the loss of her pilot medical certification. In 2016, her world changed dramatically. She found the mentor that she had been seeking and began her journey with Reiki. Through the power of Reiki, Erin released her fears, gained understanding, and embraced the Spirit world. This pivotal moment led her to her true calling: serving others. After completing multiple courses, obtaining a Bachelor's Degree, and receiving numerous mentorships, Erin left her aviation career of 25 years to fully dedicate her time to Reiki and treatments for others. Her work at the Lochend Clinic now involves using Spiritual practices, Mediumship, Reiki, personal life experiences, and Metaphysical studies to assist and support others on their journeys. Erin looks forward to helping you on your road to recovery and positivity.

Kingman Chan

Provisional Psychologist

Be Water Psychology

Kingman Chan’s philosophy, “Be Like Water,” brings a blend of Eastern and Western culture to his practice. Water is adaptable to its environment. When it is flowing and encounters a rock, it moves around it. If the obstacle is large, water knows how to stay and gather strength until it can overflow and move forward. With this mindset, Kingman helps clients see who they are, accept where they are, and discover where they need to go.

Kingman’s path to psychology was not a straight one. His first degree was in Biomedical Engineering, and he spent 12 years in the biotech and pharmaceutical industries. There he was fortunate to have a stable career, yet he felt a persistent inner voice telling him there was something else he needed to do. Searching for what was missing, Kingman stepped away from his corporate career to backpack through Australia. That journey gave him the clarity to realize that his true calling was to help people on a deeper level. He listened to that inner voice, went back to school, and dedicated himself to this new path. Today, with another 12 years of experience behind him, Kingman is grateful to be serving his clients as a Psychologist.

Kingman does not use a “one size fits all” method, as every person is different.

He tailors your sessions using:

• Person-Centered Therapy to give you a space where you are truly heard, never judged.

• Psychodynamic Therapy to understand how your past is coloring your present.

• Mindfulness to help you find calm in the stress.

• EMDR/ART to help process heavy memories so they stop hurting.
