Welcome! I’m Stefania, a Registered Acupuncturist and Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner. In clinic, I work collaboratively with my patients and their care team to develop a holistic treatment plan. I combine my background in Kinesiology with my training in Chinese Medicine to provide integrative and evidenced-based treatment tailored to each individual. In my practice, I use a combination of acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary and lifestyle counselling, and bodywork (Gua Sha, Tui Na, cupping, and exercise) to treat mental-emotional and physical conditions.

Chinese Medicine emphasizes the importance of treating the whole body to restore balance and health. As a practitioner, I treat a wide range of conditions with a strong interest and additional training in the following areas: - Paediatrics - Women’s Health - Mental Health and Trauma - Pain and Injury Recovery - High-Performance Sport

I am passionate about sharing this medicine and helping my patients optimize their health. I look forward to welcoming you into our clinic and being part of your health team.

My name is Breanna and I believe that everyone deserves a safe space to work through life’s difficulties. I am a Registered Social Worker and I provide individual and family therapy for children, adolescents, and adults, who struggle with trauma-related experiences, anxiety, emotional regulation, difficult relationships, disordered eating, body image and chronic pain/ injury.

I’m a warm, open, and direct therapist, who values the importance of honesty in session. I am committed to creating a safe space where you can feel supported and heard. During the therapy process, I promote an integrative style and incorporate several therapeutic modalities based on your specific and individualized needs. This involves taking a holistic and client-centred approach that values your life experience and builds on your strengths. My intention is to challenge your limiting beliefs, better understand the impact of your emotions and actions, and support you in finding meaningful ways to move forward.

I have specific training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for Anxiety, Disordered Eating and Trauma as well as Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT).

In our sessions, we will work together to identify what you want to get out of therapy. We will work at your pace to explore the parts of your life that might be keeping you stuck and address deeper issues from the past and/or present that might give you the insight to create long-term meaningful change. Throughout the process, we will develop a framework for understanding your experiences and implement strategies that will help you get to where you want to be.

I look forward to meeting you!

Hi! I’m Sophie.

I have been working as a physiotherapist and pelvic health therapist since graduating with my Master of Physical Therapy from Western University.

Inspired by the resilience of the human body, I aim to create a positive rehabilitation journey for every client. I take a holistic approach to therapy, collaborating one-on-one to uncover the root causes of pain and dysfunction, ensuring we treat the underlying issues rather than just the symptoms. Together, we will develop personalized treatment plans that include manual therapy, functional exercise, and comprehensive education, all designed to help you move well and do what you love.

I am passionate about pelvic health and treat individuals of all genders! I understand that discussing pelvic health can be uncomfortable and vulnerable, so I prioritize creating a safe and respectful environment for all my clients.

Additionally, I have extensive experience working with athletes and managing acute injuries. As a recreational runner, I’ve pursued numerous courses to deepen my understanding of running mechanics and the assessment and treatment of running-related injuries. I believe running is more than just exercise or a hobby; it requires a holistic perspective for optimal health. I look forward to helping you stay healthy on the road, trails, or wherever your running journey takes you next.

I look forward to meeting you and assisting you on your journey to better movement and wellness!

If you wake up and dread having to start your day- let’s talk. Whether it is work, school, home or even your relationships, life seems to keep throwing you challenges that you don’t want or know how to manage. It’s starting to feel like you’re stuck in a never-ending pattern.

And as humans, we often do function on autopilot and get caught in cycles of behaviour that we know aren’t healthy or good for us, but we just can’t seem to stop. How is it that we can be so aware and feel so powerless at the same time?

What if I told you that it’s not your fault and that human brains are actually wired that way for an important reason?

As your therapist, my mission is to help you recognize, understand and challenge the behaviours that no longer serve you and work on new evidence-based strategies that do. With nearly a decade of experience in neuroscience and physiology research, I’m here to help you bridge the gap between your mind, brain, and body so that we can put your self-awareness to use.

Whether you want to figure out your relationship, re-balance your life, take control of your emotions, or stand against your inner critic, breaking free from this cycle will allow you to finally live the life that you want to be living. Let’s begin this journey together to change how your thoughts and behaviour shape your experience of the world.

I dreamed of becoming a doctor to help others, but it wasn’t until my mother’s breast cancer diagnosis that I discovered Naturopathic Medicine. This approach values treating the whole person and finding the root cause of conditions to guide patients through the self-healing process. Through Naturopathic Medicine, I learned to prioritize the unique needs of each individual patient, rather than just focusing on the treatment of their symptoms.

My mission as a Naturopath is to help assist and to see my patients make empowered choices that improve both their health and their quality of life. In order to do this, I partner with patients and dive deeper into their health to help identify and remove barriers to wellness. I provide patients with recommendations that we are both confident they can adhere to. I am here to not only guide and educate you, but to inspire you through this exciting journey of reconnecting to yourself.

I have always had a long-standing passion for health and wellness. My journey in learning started in Philadelphia where I obtained a Bachelors of Science in Athletic Training, while competing as a varsity volleyball athlete. From there, I obtained a Masters of Osteopathic Manipulative Sciences over a four year, intensive program at the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy. Throughout my studies of the structural body, I was very drawn to the energetic components to healing; which led me to complete my reiki training to Reiki Master Healer level. Osteopathy has allowed me to understand the body in a completely different way by embracing the self-healing and self-regulating nature of the body. This is done by working with the soft tissue structures to alleviate restriction of motion, which ultimately improves nerve communication, blood and lymphatic circulation. This principle assists in getting to the root cause of one’s dis-ease, and provides the ability to address a wide range of conditions, from acute to chronic. Both osteopathic manual therapy and reiki combined allow me to see the mechanics of the structural and energetic bodies that provide a complete and holistic approach to healing. My experience in study and athletic competition allow my treatments to be rooted in a sense of compassion, caring and understanding. Outside of my practice, you can find me enjoying time outside with my dog, travelling, or up North at the lake with family and friends!

With over 12 years of clinical experience, I have seen and understood how beneficial treatment can be. Body-work can make such a difference in how people can feel and how their body can move. I believe your body is capable of extraordinary things, but sometimes it needs a little help to get there.

After obtaining both an undergraduate degree with honors in Kinesiology and an advanced degree in a chiropractic graduate program, I consider myself a student for life. Over the years I have continued to advance my education while paying attention to research that has shown the clinical effectiveness of various modalities for treating pain and dysfunction. My goal is to facilitate each patients’ return to optimal function as quickly and effectively as possible. My continued education and advanced certifications are something I pride myself in.

I incorporate various manual therapies and techniques such as joint mobilizations, soft tissue release, acupuncture, myofascial-decompression cupping, Fascial Stretch Techniques, exercise prescription and other electro modalities.

I take pride in having many tools in my tool box -my additional training in various modalities outside of adjusting allows me to individualize treatments, whether you need an adjustment or everything but an adjustment. I aim to provide the best possible treatment for each patient.

I have always had a deep interest in movement of the human body, injury prevention, and rehabilitation. A background in dance led me to study Kinesiology and Ergonomics, prior to becoming a Registered Massage Therapist.

I have over 10 years of experience in providing deep tissue massage, treatment for spinal cord injuries, and neurological conditions, pre and postnatal massage, sports massage, and full body maintenance.

With an emphasis on mind-body wellness and balance, I focus on determining the causes of discomfort to best identify how to treat symptoms, including use of modalities such as Cupping, Graston Technique, and Fascial Stretch Therapy.

With a diverse background in treating anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, life stressors, and specializing in substance use, childhood trauma, and relationship issues, I offer a range of modalities tailored to meet your unique needs. In my practice, I emphasize Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) to guide you in understanding and moving through your emotions, particularly during difficult times.

I have always been fascinated by the human body and how we function. Coupling that with a desire to help others is what made massage therapy a natural career choice for me. I graduated from the Massage Therapy program at Centennial College in 2000. After all these years of practice, I am still passionate about what I do.

Back when I was studying kinesiology I had a friend complaining of headaches during our midterm exams. After a neck massage, their pain was gone and they joked that I should make this my career. It was shortly after this that I left mid-program to set myself on the path to Massage Therapy.

My massage treatments incorporate Swedish Massage with deep tissue techniques and trigger point therapy. I have done additional training in Myofascial Release, Hot Stone Massage, Reflexology, as well as Pre and Post-natal massage. I am also certified in Lymphatic Drainage.

Lifelong learning is vital to creating safe and effective treatments, and being able to share that knowledge with my clients is part of the care I love to provide.

After Graduating from the Massage Therapy Program at Sutherland Chan School and Teaching Clinic in 2001, I began my journey as a Registered Massage Therapist. With nearly 20 years of experience and thousands of treatment hours, I pride myself in maintaining an approach to treating the body as a whole.

With a specific intuitive, empathetic, mindful approach and focus placed on deep breathing I provide a wide range of techniques to ensure a successful outcome. I have a tremendous passion for helping people find rejuvenation, renewal, and relief from pain from the general stresses of life or injuries. I have a passion for learning and have completed a variety of modalities that have shaped my ability to grasp and treat the most challenging cases with long-lasting results. I am excited to continue my massage education to add new modalities and techniques to my range of abilities.

I lean towards slow, deep, therapeutic massage techniques with passive stretching and trigger point therapy, but not limited to a gentler approach to treatment for those who would like to avoid deep pressure. Swedish, prenatal, aromatherapy and cupping are my specialities.

Most importantly I love to laugh. “Laughing is, and will always be, the best form of therapy” - Author Dau Voire

I am extremely interested in all things under the health and wellness umbrella.

I love sharing what I know as well as learning new things from others. Using an outcome-based massage approach, I target specific areas of concern and treat clients as individuals. I understand people seek massage for a variety of reasons therefore treatments and techniques vary to achieve client specific outcomes. Treatment types can differ from deep tissue, relaxation, and pregnancy.

I believe that to achieve and maintain wellness goals the effort must be ongoing. Optimal results are reached with the marriage of completing home care exercises as well as receiving massage. I thrive off hearing client goals, aspirations and achievements, and find it extremely rewarding to be a part of their wellness journey.

Hello! My name is Nicole, and I am a Physiotherapist graduating with a MScPT from The University of Toronto. My passion and vibrancy for physical therapy stems from helping individuals like yourself on their road to recovery. Physical therapy is a broad field with a range of wonderful clinicians and approaches. My goal as a therapist is to genuinely understand you as a person, your lifestyle, and your wants/needs to then implement a whole-body approach. Through my experience, I have found this method works to not only treat the immediate problem, but it also empowers you to implement lasting change in your life and avoid recurring issues.

An assessment is the time where I get to know you as an individual and develop a deeper understanding of what brings you into the clinic. Through open communication, thoughtful listening, and patient education, we can develop a personalized treatment plan to get you back to doing the things you love. It is my personal goal to motivate you during this process and ensure you get the most out of every session. I love to implement different therapeutic techniques I’ve learned along the way to tackle any uptake barriers you may face. Whether you need a personalized weekly exercise schedule, accountability reminders, equipment-less exercises, manual therapy, a mindfulness-based program etc., the possibilities are endless. I have an active approach to care, meaning I’ll provide you with the tools and exercises you need to effectively rehabilitate the problem. I enjoy working with all of my patients, but it is ultimately my goal that you become independent with the tools I’ve provided and can continue forward by implementing them into your routine.

I look forward to meeting you and getting you back to the life you love, or better yet, one you’ve always desired but did not think was possible!

Life is a multi-faceted journey involving events, experiences, and relationships that can be challenging to navigate at times. My goal is to work in partnership with you to create a safe, non-judgemental, and collaborative space to help you explore your goals, foster emotional growth, and support the changes that are important to you.

Some of the areas I address in my practice include depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, substance use, behavioural issues, concurrent addiction and mental health challenges, stress management, and issues impacting clients from racialized communities.

I use a strengths-based, integrative approach informed by anti-oppressive practice and trauma-informed models, as well as attachment and developmental theories. My therapeutic style is client-centred and honours your culture, your spiritual beliefs, and all held identities. I utilize different therapeutic techniques and modalities including cognitive behaviour therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, emotion-focused therapy, narrative therapy and motivational interviewing to support the needs of my clients.

Hi, I’m Katie! RMT and Co-Founder of For Health’s Sake! I grew up in a small beach town in Southern Ontario before moving to Toronto to start school and later my career. I always knew from a young age that I wanted to help people and work in health & wellness. I began my journey in Massage Therapy by gaining experience in various settings, but I discovered my true passion in multi-disciplinary clinics. Here, I’ve seen my clients achieve the best results through the combination of both eastern and western treatment practices.

Having worked many years in various clinics, I gained experience by treating a variety of clients, from the injured athlete to the office worker. I tailor the treatment by assessing client symptoms, posture, and pain patterns. In addition to treating an injured area or area of pain or discomfort, I look at the entire body as a whole and treat other areas that have been affected by compensating.

My treatment style consists mostly of swedish techniques, deep tissue, passive stretching, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, and cupping. I modify the pressure to my clients’ preference and I also offer aromatherapy treatments where I integrate essential oils within the massage to amplify the experience. Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage Massage is my newest passion and addition to my services. I was trained in the Renata Franca method that came straight from Brazil.

I started For Health’s Sake with my business partner, Chloe, in 2018. I split my time as an RMT between both our clinics, and outside of that, I work from home managing them. I’m obsessed with health & fitness and I’ve always been very active. I love coffee, travelling, cooking, interior decorating, hanging out with my dog, spending time with my family, and trying new food places.
