Kitsilano Chiropractor in Vancouver!

Dr. Kelsey Horsting is the founder of Maverick Collective Holistic Medicine and a chiropractor with nine years of experience; through these years she witnessed and experienced increasing dissatisfaction with the existing framework of healthcare. In 2024, inspiration met with opportunity, and she launched Maverick Collective to create a new model of holistic healthcare. 

Her passion for chiropractic began during her time as a varsity basketball player at Simon Fraser University (SFU), where two major knee injuries led to four surgeries and two lost seasons. Adding chiropractic to Dr. Kelsey’s rehabilitation plan was key in leading to her return to the court. She also developed a deeper understanding of the mind-body connection, recognizing chiropractic's ability to relieve physical and neurological tension and creating capacity for healing of the mental, emotional, and physical bodies to occur. Dr. Kelsey earned her undergraduate degree in Biomedical Physiology and Kinesiology from SFU and her Doctor of Chiropractic from the University of Western States, graduating Summa Cum Laude and as Class Valedictorian. 

With experience in multidisciplinary settings and a curious mind, Dr. Kelsey’s comprehensive treatment plans bridge the Western and Eastern models by involving modalities such as naturopathy and acupuncture. Her approach is to capture a broad view of your health and be specific in her diagnosis: this involves rigorous assessment of soft-tissue tone and texture, tension of fascial lines, movement patterns, nerve function, and joint mobility. Treatments include chiropractic adjustments, myofascial release, rehabilitation homework, and laser therapy. She tailors her care to individual patients, adapting to their needs and assessing changes in real time, and collaborates with other healthcare providers for synergistic results. 

Dr. Kelsey is certified by both Canadian and American chiropractic boards, with 11 years of certification in Active Release Techniques® (ART®) and the Academy Council of Chiropractic Pediatrics and Webster Technique for six years. She can provide chiropractic adjustments with classical methods and alternative low-force techniques. Dr. Kelsey took over care for Dr. Christian Guenette’s patients at the Vancouver clinic in 2024 and maintains the same location of his former practice.
