We help you break old physical & emotional habits that keep you feeling trapped in a body that has no energy, a weak immune system, acute or chronic aches and pains, stressful days, and/or emotional trauma.
True health is having a natural abundance of energy while you live the life of your dreams.
If you feel tired when you wake up, like you’re aging too quickly, your body feels uncomfortable, or in pain, we can help.
Our Discovery & Embodiment Sessions treat your whole self through in-person soft touch chiropractic adjustments, network spinal analysis, bioenergetic testing as well as ongoing lifestyle and supplement recommendations. We also provide online courses and distance healing for those not located in the Toronto area.

I want you to have a joyous, fulfilled life.
Hi, I’m Maureen, a joy catalyst.
I empower people like you to live better, healthier lives.
When you take your last breath I want you to say “What a beautiful ride my life has been!”
I love being a catalyst for people: to help them feel fantastic, do good in this world, and love more openly. I want you to dance more, laugh more, and live a life filled with energy, clarity, and joy.
I’m an unconventional chiropractor. I know that your body already has the answers you need to live a more vibrant life. I can help you rediscover who you were always meant to be. No snapping or popping. I promise.
I want you to FEEL AT HOME IN YOURSELF.
Hi, I’m Dr. Sadie, your self love guide.
For me, chiropractic care is a journey in the appreciation of your body’s potential.
I love seeing people admire what they’re capable of and re-discover themselves. I want you to gain the skills to feel more regulated, more alive, and more connected to the life you’re meant to live.
I believe that healing is more than physical; it’s about creating space for the body, mind, and heart to align.
Through more traditional but gentle, intentional care, I support each person in their journey toward greater harmony and self-awareness. When you are well connected you can show up more fully – for yourself, for others, and for the world around you.
I aim to create space for you to feel safe, supported, and more at home in yourself. The potential to heal and thrive is within you. My mission is to help you unlock it.

the greatest gift that I have ever received
Dr. Maureen has given me the greatest gift that I have ever received – a feeling of control over my health. I love the positive environment and the optimism that surrounds me every time I am at Essence of Life. Since I have started under Maureen’s care, I am happier and healthier and have more patience with my children and in general!
Dr. Sadie
Essence of Life, specifically Dr Sadie, is such a gift to the Bloor West Village neighbourhood. She is so attentive and has made me feel so comfortable and safe. She has 100% changed my life since my first adjustment – I had a wrist issue, and now I don’t anymore. I highly, highly, recommend Essence of Life to anyone seeking comprehensive chiropractic care.
Makes me feel comfortable!
Dr. Sadie immediately makes me feel comfortable and at ease. She has a very caring and warm energy, and walked me through all the adjustments she would do. I always leave feeling lighter and brighter!
A very knowledgeable queen!
Dr. Sadie is a queen. Very knowledgeable and made sure to take time to explain exactly what was happening. Made me feel super comfortable while I was there and left feeling full of life.
