Jenn Cunningham Office Manager

My first experience with chiropractic was when I was 15 and suffering from constant migraine headaches and insomnia. My mom took me to a Chiropractor and after only a few adjustments, Chiropractic care gave me my life back!

Several years later, after recieving my diploma in social service work, I held successful executive positions at two different manufacturing companies. Recently, I have chosen to take a new career path - I have joined the Innovative Chiropractic Centre to start a new journey into what I have always been passionate about - Health and Wellness!      

Another personal milestone is that I have recently become happily married! My healthy lifestyle includes running, hot yoga, seasonal body detoxification Isagenix cleansing, and advancing my education in personal development and health.

Yvonne Tooley

Registered Massage Therapist

Yvonne started practicing as a massage therapist in 2006. One of the things she loves most about this field is the ability and the opportunity to learn and practice different modalities within the scope of her profession. In 2007, Yvonne went to McMaster University to study Contemporary Acupuncture. Acupuncture increases circulation and improves nerve conduction. She has also trained with a kinesiologist for muscle testing, strengthening and strain-contra-strain techniques.

In 2007, Yvonne became a mother that changed her entire world in such an impeccable way. She thoroughly enjoys the time she spends with her son as he grows and learns his new world on a daily basis.

Yvonne is excited to be a part of the ICC team and offers a unique approach as she learns CBP technique as an assistant to Dr. Oakley on the traction floor. She is dedicated to encouraging clients to work towards achieving their optimal health through posture correction and supporting treatments including massage therapy and acupuncture!

Lacey Creswell

Registered Massage Therapist

I graduated from Kikkawa College in 2006, where I had attended school for two years with my mom, Maureen Creswell, who also became a registered massage therapist. I have been practicing in Newmarket for the past four years and Maureen joined me two years ago and we have been fortunate to work side by side.

A few of the things I love about being a massage therapist is helping people to feel better, meeting new people and the connection I have with my clients. I am really looking forward to joining the ICC team and learning more about Dr.Oakleys' techniques. 

In my spare time I enjoy riding my horse (Mystere), camping, hanging out with friends and family and anything horse related. I have been riding for 19 years and thoroughly enjoy the sport!
