Jonathan Macart grew up in Oceanside and is happy to return as a joint founder of the Opti-Balance clinic bringing health potential to the community.  As a trained chelation and IV therapist, Jonathan is personable and goes the extra mile to help people feel at home on their healing journey.  With the gift of gab, time spent in the clinic getting treatments is often filled with discussion of new insights in medicine and current events that stimulate one’s desire for self betterment.

Jonathan and the doctor met at UVIC where Jonathan graduated with a degree in psychology and sociology.  Their romance took them to Toronto and back.  Here, they put down roots to have a family.

Sean grew up on the North Shore of Vancouver and like so many, has a love for British Columbia’s natural beauty and for the range of lifestyle it affords. Sean has always had a passion for health and wellness and aims to live a balanced life. While working as an structural engineer and then as an investment advisor he began to explore more in this way. What began as a series of personal experiments in sleep, nutrition, exercise and meditation – for the purposes of increasing productivity – led to a major shift in passion and purpose. Following this path, Sean’s interests brought him to China where he trained in Shaolin Kung Fu. China represented an opportunity to focus intensely on personal growth in mind, body and spirit. Returning to Vancouver with a renewed sense of self and purpose, Sean joined the Vancouver Real team as our Community Coordinator where he is focused on sourcing out holistic and integrated events/workshops for the community. He believes that life is lived through experience and that it is through stepping outside our comfort zones that we truly learn and grow.
