Maddie Ostergaard is a recent graduate of East West College of the Healing Arts. Her training emphasized personalized musculoskeletal support, with a strong focus on pain management and movement enhancement. She has always had a passion for movement and injury rehabilitation from her experience playing collegiate soccer. She views the body as an interconnected system, and her approach to bodywork is rooted in both intuition and active listening, allowing her to respond to each client’s unique needs. A key principle reinforced throughout her training is the importance of addressing the nervous and fascial systems first—releasing guarding and tension before moving into deeper work.

In her final term, she focused on blending structural bodywork, Tui Na, and elements of Craniosacral therapy, and has really enjoyed bringing those techniques into her growing practice. Taking the Structural Bodywork elective with Jay opened up a whole new perspective on bodywork, and she’s planning to continue that journey by joining the Structural Integration training program in 2026 with the Inner Dynamics Academy of Structural Integration (IDA-SI).
