Born and raised in Alberta, Canada, Kali grew up surrounded by animals, but it was horses that truly captured her heart. From an early age, she was riding and working with horses, building a deep connection that would shape her life and career.

Her passion for equine health led her to pursue a Master’s degree in Animal Science, specialising in Equine Nutrition. This academic foundation gave her a deep understanding of how nutrition affects every aspect of a horse’s development, performance, and overall well-being. A certified equine nutritionist, Kali also shares this expertise as a nutrition instructor with LCAO.

After working in the field for several years, Kali sought a more hands-on and holistic approach to care. This brought her to LCAO’s International Diploma in Animal Osteopathy program, where she expanded her expertise and learned to view the animal as a whole—understanding how the body’s systems work together and how nutrition influences structural health and function.

Now an LCAO graduate with an International Diploma in Animal Osteopathy (Int’l DipAO), Kali brings her clinical knowledge and firsthand understanding of the student experience to her role as Pre-Clinical Instructor. Her graduate thesis on classical, visceral osteopathy reflects her deep appreciation for the strong foundational knowledge students need to succeed in clinical osteopathic treatment. She has also attended two LCAO Masterclasses, demonstrating her ongoing commitment to advanced training and professional development.

Alongside her teaching, Kali runs a successful animal-care practice in southern Alberta. Her combination of practical experience, nutritional expertise, osteopathic training, and commitment to continued learning makes her a valued member of the LCAO instructional team.
