You don’t have to do this alone. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or exhausted from carrying the weight of your emotions, I see you.

Maybe your thoughts feel like they’re running the show, filling you with doubt, anxiety, or the belief that no matter what you do, it’s never enough. It’s exhausting, isn’t it?

Here’s the truth, healing isn’t about “fixing” yourself, you were never broken. It’s about understanding the patterns that keep you stuck, learning how to navigate your emotions, and finding a way forward that feels true to you.

In our work together, we’ll create a space where you don’t have to pretend to have it all together.

We’ll uncover the “why” behind your struggles, challenge the thoughts that hold you back, and build the confidence to step into the life you actually want.

Whether it’s anxiety, depression, self-doubt, relationship challenges, or navigating past trauma, we’ll work at your pace, in a way that feels safe and empowering.

Therapy isn’t just about talking, it’s about transformation. You’ve already taken the hardest step by being here. Whenever you’re ready, I’m here to walk this path with you.

Life can have a way of challenging us into transitions we didn’t plan for or expect, leaving us feeling unprepared and overwhelmed at times. Maybe you have found yourself navigating the lingering effects of the pandemic, adjusting to in-person routines that now feel foreign or even unsettling. Perhaps you’re grappling with the impact of racial or gender-based trauma presented to you in social, school or work settings, carrying experiences that others might not fully understand. If you’re feeling uncertain, stuck, or simply exhausted, know that you don’t have to face these times alone.

As a first-generation Canadian of Middle Eastern descent, my personal journey within the mental health profession has shaped my therapeutic approach. My family separated when I was young, and navigating the complexities of those early experiences taught me the value of resilience, individuality, and self-discovery. These challenges shaped my ability to adapt and find strength in difficult times, a perspective I value in my work with clients.

Being a mindful-based psychotherapist under the Registered Social Worker designation (MSW), I prioritize creating a space where you and your loved ones can explore these life moments in a way that feels safe and empowering. My approach to practice is rooted in supporting clients to understand how their experiences, whether stemming from systemic oppression, personal relationships, or life’s many transitions, have shaped their well-being and can nurture their resilience.

Drawing from a strengths-based practice, I utilize Cognitive Behavioural Therapy through a collaborative and empathetic approach to support clients in making sense and navigating their story. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, the effects of trauma, or the uncertainty of life’s next chapter, I’m here to support you as you navigate this path at your own pace. My goal is to work in collaboration where you can process feelings, find clarity and welcome a life that feels more aligned with your values and vision for the future.

Starting the therapeutic journey can feel overwhelming, but it also grants the possibility for growth. If you’re ready to take that first step toward clarity I offer a complimentary 20-minute consultation to explore what brings you to For Health’s Sake and answer any questions you may have. Let’s start this journey together.

Hello, and thanks for stopping by to read my bio! My name is Cristina—I’m a registered acupuncturist, former paramedic, published author, women’s studies graduate, and documentary film producer. My work has spanned academia, advocacy, and front-line clinical care.

With a decade of experience in emergency medicine, I developed acute diagnostic skills, resilience under pressure, and a deep respect for the body’s ability to heal under time-sensitive conditions. My transition to acupuncture was driven by an appreciation for Chinese Medicine’s holistic approach, which views health as a dynamic interplay between not only mind and body, but also spirit!

Committed to ongoing education, I incorporate Dr. Lin Xue Jian’s scalp acupuncture system to treat anxiety, depression, and complex post-traumatic stress disorder. I also utilize Dr. Tan’s system of balance acupuncture to restore vitality, joy, and overall well-being. I enjoy treating mental health concerns, women’s health and fertility, as well as temporomandibular disorders.

In my arsenal of care, I offer a variety of techniques, including needling, cupping, Tuina, moxibustion, scalp and auricular acupuncture and Dr. Wu’s Head massage.

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.

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!

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.

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 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.

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.

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!

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

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. My focus is on the present moment and how we can take ownership of our thoughts and feelings in the here and now. By learning to recognize and embrace our current experiences, we can build resilience and respond more consciously to life’s challenges.

As a therapist, I deeply value my own personal growth, practicing daily mindfulness and compassion-focused meditations. These practices allow me to do my inner work, gaining insight into my own thoughts and feelings, so I can better support you in doing the same.

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!

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.

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.
