We have developed a Free Osteopathic Children’s clinic in conjunction with the Dominica School and Orphanage in La Urena Dominican Republic.
Trips to the clinic consist of three days of didactic teaching at a beautiful all-inclusive Caribbean resort followed by two days of an osteopathic general medical and children’s clinic in La Urena at the orphanage.

These trips will be done in small groups of up 12 Osteopaths to allow us all to work closely with individualized attention both in the didactic potions and while treating children at the clinic

Our three day didactic portion is held at the beautiful all-inclusive Caribbean resort Sunscapes Dominicus La Romana at Bayahibe Beach. A place for peaceful relaxation and rejuvenation on the Caribbean Sea. Topics covered vary depending on the interest of the group and will include a deeper understanding of the Meeting Place, Service, Humility and the Presence & Flow of Unconditional Love. It addition we cover the unique aspects of treating in a group community setting with these special children.

Our two day clinic portion is held at the Dominica School and Orphanage in La Urena. Here we will, together, offer our osteopathic gifts in service to children of the orphanage and surrounding area. Generally we will treat together about 8-10 children at a time in the same room and Dr. Kisiel will be available during all treatments to assist and/or guide as needed. It is both a privilege and honor to be part of these group clinic experiences and makes for a wonderful leaning environment.

Our initial trip was February, 22-25 2016. We treated 164 beautiful children over the two days. It was a truly a transformational experience for all involved. We have followed this with trips each February and November.

We have restarted our work at the Orphanage and returning the week of February 17-21, 2025

Course fee is $900 and incudes transportation from Sunscapes to the orphanage, lodging at a hotel in Santo Domingo near the orphanage for two nights, meals for 2 days at orphanage, and dinner out on our last night in downtown Santo Domingo.

***All profits from the course will go as a donation to the Dominica School and Orphanage.***

Sunscapes Doninicus La Romana at Bayahibe Beach  is a wonderful place to bring family and friends for a winter holiday. Participants and thier family/friends are welcome to come and leave the resort at any dates to extend your holiday. Anyone accompanying participants is welcome to join us at the orphanage and offer any of their unique gifts to the children. Whether it be teaching a class, doing an arts & crafts projects, music & dance, helping with needed repairs, painting or simply spending time with the children, these would all be very welcome and appreciated. The children of Dominica orphanage often come from very poor backgrounds with a frequent history of abuse and neglect. They are very loving children, hungry to share their smiles, hugs and laughter with anyone who would take the time to visit.

During this same week a group of 14-16 high school students from Monument Mountain Highschool lead by Dr. Kisiel’s children will be spending the entire week at the orphanage working with the children, teaching, doing arts & crafts, science projects, painting murals and perfroming repairs and small construction projects.

***If you have a group of around 10 osteopaths who are interested in spending this time together please contact us and we will arrange specific trip dates and course for your group.
