Chris Tennant, RMT, C.Ac CRT, TT, RRPr
Chris has been working with holistic modalities since very early in life. This pursuit has lead him into teaching which he practices both locally and internationally. He also maintains a clinical practice in Kitchener.
One of Chris’s gifts is his ability to take esoteric and intangible topics and make them tangible, or “real”, thus allowing a therapist to “wrap their heads” around a concept, and in turn, talk with clients about it. This allows the client to comprehend, and then empower their ability to change the desired areas of challenge in their lifestyle that have been holding them back.
Chris is continuing his studies in Osteopathy while maintaing his practice.
