Educational Director & Instructor

Maureen "Hannah" Maher

Since Maureen began teaching, she found that not only does she have a natural gift for it (her parents were both teachers, so let hear it for genetics!), she found that she also holds a great desire to give back to the community and a profession that has been so fulfilling, and share her over twenty years of acquired experience and knowledge. Maureen brings extensive knowledge in Osteopathy to her class and online courses. Throughout her career which began in Montreal in 2003, Maureen has been an accredited member in good standing in several provinces across Canada, as well as undergoing foreign trained accreditation evaluation and working overseas. Like many classically trained Manual Osteopaths in Canada, Maureen wrote a thesis as part of her Osteopathy training. Hers was within the field of Cranial Osteopathy, a subject that is now the foundation of many of the treatment protocols she teaches in the fields of Women’s Health. Maureen was also an Associate Overseas member of the Australian Osteopathic Association (AOA) from 2008 to 2011. After undergoing accreditation evaluation for foreign trained Osteopaths in Perth, Western Australia, Maureen was offered a position in one of Singapore's leading Osteopathic Clinics, giving her the distinction of having been the first Canadian trained Osteopath to be approved to practice in South East Asia. Right before the worldwide economic collapse in 2010, Maureen was offered a position in Shanghai China, which required accreditation with the GOSC, UK, which she began, but as prevailing economic conditions worsened, the position was put on hold, and Maureen decided to return to Canada and settled in Toronto where her students began asking her to design courses in more specialized subjects within Osteopathy, including Women's Health and Pediatrics. It was not long after that Maureen founded the Center for Continuing Education of Osteopathy & Manual Therapy where she continued to innovate every day! Her students say that Maureen's teaching style is animated, engaging, but most importantly, informative. Her gift lies in communicating complex theories in simple terms and analogies. Her students come away with a clear grasp of Osteopathic concepts for treatment, and practical knowledge of how to apply them. In more recent years, Maureen has created online versions of some of her most popular courses, and it is thanks to this new era of online learning that Osteopaths throughout Canada and throughout the world have been able to use Maureen's teachings and treatment protocols to help women, infants, and the general public find relief from the bodily dysfunctions that are so amenable to osteopathic manual treatments.

About the Center for Continuing Education of Osteopathy & Manual Therapy

Was founded over ten years ago in Toronto, Canada by our Educational Director Maureen "Hannah" Maher to address the growing need for high quality continuing education courses for Osteopaths & Manual Osteopathic Practitioners.  This was also done at the urging of some of her students while teaching a short course in Cranial Osteopathy at a local college.  Her students recognized her gift of taking complex concepts and making them easy to understand.  She also has a passion for mentoring others, and this came to life in her classes.

In 2017, The Center for Continuing Education of Osteopathy & Manual Therapy we launched the first online version of one of our most popular courses in Women's Health.   The onset of the pandemic in 2020 saw a tremendous increase in the demand for online training and we have become a leader and standard for online learning with some of the highest academic standards in North America.  

Our organization has earned recognition by several professional associations and governing bodies in Canada and in the USA.  Many of our courses are recognized and accredited for CEUs by the CMTO, CATA, OSTCAN, NCBTMN, various American Physical Therapy State Boards, and more.

The launch of this new Certificate of Osteopathy Program represents a new chapter in our evolution.  It reflects our motto to make continuing education accessible to all accredited healthcare practitioners who would like to expand their scope of practice by learning online with us.
