Amy Prudhomme du Hancourt

Amy is BMY’s Holistic Physiotherapist and Medical Director. Born in South Africa, Amy discovered a love for dance and movement early on. With strong intuition towards kinesthetic intelligence, when the time came to enroll in university, the option to pursue a path to become a physiotherapist was the perfect fit. Amy’s fascination and enthusiasm for the intelligence of how the skeletal and muscular systems connected, supported each other and created the possibility for balance and agility inspired her desire to learn further. Over time, as her experience in treating people with different injuries grew, Amy started to notice a pattern among the patients she worked with. While many had indeed experienced a direct physical injury, there also seemed to be other significant historical incidences and chronic conditions that conventional physiotherapy education did not address.

Sensing the significance of the impact of one element on another, Amy felt driven to learn more about the connection between and within other systems of the body. She pursued a certification in Craniosacral Therapy and Visceral Manipulation which shifted the way she approached the assessment, understanding, and treatment for her patients. She discovered that the integration of these methods allowed a holistic approach that led to positive results for many conditions including neck pain, headaches, migraines, digestive problems, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, anxiety and so on.

Still, she wanted more. Amy believed in preventative medicine as fundamental for a thriving community. As such, she happily completed a Yoga Teacher Certification, a Pilates instructor certification and a specialization in Pre and Post Natal Pilates to be able to offer to clients an empowering approach to holistic health and wellness.

From there, as a firm believer in the mind-body connection, Amy was excited to join Body Mind You, Holistic Wellness and be part of a wellness center that placed collaboration for holistic and naturalistic approaches to healthcare at the center of its philosophy.
