Dr. Jennifer Maher
Dr. Jen's passion for health and wellness promotion began in 2001 when she first started teaching group fitness classes at the YMCA in Edmonton. It was an injury received during a Crossfit activity that first introduced her to the wonders of chiropractic care. She completed her undergrad at the University of Alberta and graduated with clinical honours the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College, where she met her husband Dr. Shaun.
Based on the hospitality, culture and beauty of Cape Breton, it was clear that the island would be the perfect place to raise a family. Dr. Jen's goals are to make the residents of Sydney and the greater Sydney area the healthiest bunch on the east coast.
"Chiropractors are perfectly aligned to compliment the healthcare system, not only in terms of helping patients who have acute back pain but also in terms of helping people learn how to take better care of themselves and reach their health goals" says Dr. Jen.
In her spare time you may see her volunteering at various community events, teaching classes at the downtown YMCA, shopping at the farmers' market or playing at the park with their beautiful son Ethan and their family dog Winston.
Dr. Shaun Maher
Growing up in Cape Breton Dr. Shaun enjoyed swimming, sailing, waterskiing, golfing and downhill skiing. Like many he left to complete his Bachelor of Science at Dalhousie University. After University, he moved to Fernie, BC where he worked as a Chiropractic assistant for many years before being accepted into the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College.
After meeting his wife, thoughts of raising a family started drifting into his mind, as did the call to come home. He hopes to be the start of a "reverse migration", where young professionals can return home to Cape Breton. Becoming a chiropractor has given Shaun the opportunity return home to serve his community and be active in the healthcare of his community members. He aims to help people live the healthiest lives possible through health education, chiropractic care and above all role modeling the healthy, active lifestyle he promotes.
In his spare time you may see Dr. Shaun on the golf course or on the ski hill, at the gym or at the park playing with Ethan and Winston.
