Our Team

Tiffanie Bruneau | Founder & Co-owner

Bachelors of Kinesiology, Manual Osteopath (RMO), Pregnancy & Postpartum Athleticism Coach (PPA), CrossFit Level 2 Coach

Tiffanie’s path to osteopathy started with a question she couldn’t stop asking: why isn’t this enough? After years as an exercise professional, she kept encountering people in chronic pain who needed more than a training program. She knew movement was part of the answer but not all of it. Osteopathy gave her the tools to go further, addressing the structural imbalances, restrictions, and compensations the body accumulates over time and that no single system works in isolation from another.

Her greatest passion is supporting postpartum parents through the physical and emotional weight of new parenthood. The postpartum body carries an enormous load from the structural shifts of pregnancy and birth to the nervous system demand of caring for a new life. Through hands-on osteopathic treatment, Tiffanie works to restore mobility, reduce pain, and help the body find its way back to balance, so that recovery lasts long-term. Drawing on advanced training in Osteopathic Care for Mother, Baby and Pregnancy and Postpartum Athleticism coaching, she holds a rare and specialized space for this season of life.

Tiffanie works to understand the full picture. Everything from what hurts, to how you live, move, eat, and carry yourself. Her approach tackles every area so you can move well, eat well, and think well.

Life for Tiffanie is beautifully full. Most of her time is spent “loving on” the little humans who call her mom whether they are joining her for a workout or watching a Disney movie together. While strength training is her jam, she’s equally at home in a dance class or practicing quiet meditation in the sun (even if there are little feet running around in the background). A fan of historical dramas involving romance and Vikings, Tiffanie is also a dog person at heart, though she admires them from a distance due to some serious allergies! If you’ve ever wondered about her striking hair color, she’ll happily tell you it’s an all-natural gift from her great-grandmother Bruneau.

Whether you are navigating the physical demands of early parenthood or are simply looking for a practitioner who finally sees how all your symptoms connect, Tiffanie is here to help you feel like yourself again.

Jedd Ylagan - Co-owner

Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) & Manual Osteopath (RMO) & CrossFit Level 1 Coach

Jedd Ylagan knows firsthand what it feels like to be stopped in your tracks by an injury and what it feels like when the right care gets you moving again. With five years of practice and dual training as both a Registered Massage Therapist and Manual Osteopath, Jedd brings a layered, whole-body approach to care that goes well beyond treating the area that hurts.

His sessions are warm, unhurried, and deeply attentive. From the moment a client walks in, Jedd is invested, not just in the presenting complaint, but in the full story behind it. Old injuries, lifestyle habits, emotional history, movement patterns, all of it matters, because all of it shapes how the body is compensating and where it needs support. Through the combined lens of massage therapy and osteopathy, Jedd works across muscle, joint, lymphatic, and connective tissue systems to address restrictions at their actual source rather than just their surface expression.

Jedd has a particular passion for neck, shoulder, low back, and foot complaints, both acute and chronic, and genuinely loves the moment a client realizes they don’t have to keep living with something they assumed was just part of life. His approach is direct and genuine in equal measure: treat the person, not just their symptoms.

Outside the clinic, Jedd is an F1 enthusiast, a dedicated espresso drinker, and someone who starts and ends every day with intentional quiet, no screens, no noise, just space. He also has a dream of opening a coffee shop one day, which honestly tracks.

If you’re looking for a therapist who will take the time to truly know you and build treatment around the full picture of who you are, Jedd is exactly that.

Michelle Matthews

Manual Osteopath (RMO), CrossFit Level 2 Coach, Pregnancy & Postpartum Athleticism Coach (PPA), Diploma in Osteopathic Manual Practice
Michelle Matthews works from the principle that where you feel pain is rarely where it actually begins. As a manual osteopath, she assesses the body as a connected system — tracing how jaw tension can ripple into neck pain and posture, how hip discomfort can originate in foot mechanics, how a restricted rib cage can affect the way someone breathes. Her work focuses on the “why” behind your discomfort rather than just treating the symptoms that brought you to an appointment.
 
A session with Michelle is calm with soft amber lighting and indie folk music but it’s her intuitive, attentive presence that you feel most. Using a blend of gentle tissue work, joint mobilization, and nervous system-focused techniques, she lets your body’s response dictate the pace and pressure of the session. While she enjoys working with anyone seeking relief, she has a particular interest in clients navigating pre- and post-frenectomy care, and loves working with athletes whose bodies are under consistent physical demand. Michelle’s curiosity about the body is matched only by her genuine care for the people in front of her. She looks at the full picture and asks questions about old injuries, stress patterns, and the habits that shape how you move and feel. Her goal is for you to leave with physical relief and with a better understanding of how your own body works.
 
Michelle finds joy in staying physically active and connecting with her community and family. With her background as a spin instructor, CrossFit coach & kinesiology, she brings a unique perspective to her osteopathic practice, integrating movement-based approaches with osteopathic techniques. Movement is a big part of her life and she wants to help you stay in movement as best you can for as long as you can, too.
 
Michelle finds balance through a mix of high-energy movement and quiet, creative rituals. You’ll often find her at CrossFit, on a yoga mat, or kayaking and biking during the warmer months. At home, she is an avid reader and an experimental cook, often found making fresh bread for friends or testing out new ingredients. A self-proclaimed cat person (with two she’s slightly obsessed with), Michelle is also a dedicated collector of coffee cups and a fan of the Winnipeg Folk Fest lineup—usually with Lucy Dacus playing in her headphones.
 
If you’re someone who has tried to address a symptom and kept hitting a wall, Michelle’s whole-body approach might be exactly what you need.

Elizabeth (Liz) Jones

Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) & CranioSacral Therapist (Upledger Institute International)

Liz Jones has spent over a decade learning one of the body’s most important lessons: when the nervous system is in a state of stress or protection, everything else guards along with it. As both a Registered Massage Therapist and a trained CranioSacral Therapist through the Upledger Institute, Liz brings together two powerful modalities to create deep, lasting relief that starts from the inside out.

CranioSacral Therapy is exceptionally effective for infants and this is an age group Liz loves to work with. Babies often carry physical impacts from pregnancy and birth. Whether that was a long labour, a fast delivery, a vacuum or forceps assist, or a cesarean. These early patterns in the skull, spine, and soft tissues can show up as difficulty latching, disrupted sleep, colic, head shape concerns, or general fussiness that nothing seems to settle. Using the lightest of touch, Liz works with an infant’s nervous system and craniosacral rhythm to gently release these restrictions and support the body in finding its natural ease, often with results parents notice quickly.

Liz has a particular gift for working with those who feel like their body is stuck in a state it can’t seem to exit, chronic pain, chronic stress, and illness recovery. She works with every age from children to seniors, and also has specialized experience supporting clients through SomatoEmotional release work. Every session begins with listening and understanding what has changed, what your body is ready for, and what care looks like for you in that moment.

Liz creates a space where you feel welcomed, heard, and supported. That sense of connection helps shape how she shows up for clients and helps you feel more at ease in your bodies.

Outside of her professional endeavours, Liz’s main priority is her beautiful family. They cherish warmer weather activities such as camping, fishing, and swimming, and enjoy exploring new destinations through travel. As Liz continues to evolve in her practice, she remains deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve and support others on their path to well-being.

Whether you’re a parent looking for support for your baby or someone who has had pain or tension for as long as you can remember, Liz offers a level of care that goes deeper than most.

Carter Hildebrand

Certified Athletic Therapist CAT(C)

Carter Hildebrand wants you to move and more importantly, he wants you to move with confidence and comfort. As a Certified Athletic Therapist and BSc graduate from the University of Winnipeg, Carter brings a movement-first approach to musculoskeletal injury, rehabilitation, and performance. He currently sits on the Board of Directors for the Manitoba Athletic Therapy Association and has worked across a wide range of sporting environments including hockey, football, volleyball, basketball, and soccer -but his clinical work extends well beyond the athletic world.

One of the things Carter is most passionate about clarifying is this: Athletic Therapy is not just for athletes.

If you’re dealing with a musculoskeletal injury, trying to understand why something hurts, or simply wanting to move through your life with more freedom and less pain, Carter’s practice is built for you. His sessions are collaborative and active, weaving together movement education, soft tissue release, cupping, and biomechanical taping with open conversation and real problem-solving. His goal is never just to fix a symptom, it’s to give you the knowledge and tools to understand your body and maintain the gains long after you leave the clinic. Carter’s guiding principle is what he calls “strength through range” building mobility and the confidence and capacity to use it fully.

You’ll often find Carter on the volleyball or basketball courts, on his bike, or skiing in the winter. At home, he’s a dedicated dog person, with his dog Dune taking up a large chunk of his time. Something that might surprise his clients? While sports are a huge part of his identity, Carter also has a long history in choir and musical theatre. If he’s not watching The Sopranos, he’s likely out for a long walk with Dune.

Whether you’re a youth athlete recovering from your first injury or an older adult looking to stay active for decades to come, Carter meets you where you are and works toward where you want to be. If you’ve been told to rest and wait it out, Carter has a different idea.

Navjot Sandhu

Bachelors of Kinesiology & Manual Osteopath (DOMP)

Nav Sandhu has always believed that healthcare should do more than just manage symptoms—it should get to the root. After exploring chiropractic and physiotherapy paths, it was a chance introduction to an osteopath that made everything click. Today, Nav is a Manual Osteopath who believes that you don’t have to live with pain, and that chasing symptoms without addressing their source is a cycle worth breaking.

Nav’s osteopathy practice specializes in CranioSacral therapy, TMJ dysfunction, chronic pain, and migraines, with a focus on full-body alignment and the connections between systems that often get overlooked. Her approach is straightforward: listen, assess, and connect the body as a whole. A session with Nav leaves you feeling better and genuinely informed with a clear understanding of how your body works and equipped with a real plan for moving forward.

Nav has a particular passion for working with those who feel like they’ve “tried everything” without lasting relief. She works with a wide range of clients from seniors, athletes, young adults, and chronic pain clients. She believes so deeply in getting to the root of a problem that if she determines your goals would be better met through a different specialty or a collaborative approach, she’ll be the first to tell you and she’ll help you find the exact person you need. For Nav, success is seeing her clients actually get well.

She stays balanced by spending time with her family, getting lost in a good book, or winding down with a movie. To keep her body moving, you’ll often find her at the gym lifting weights, dancing as a form of joyful movement, or catching up on Scrubs while logging miles on her walking pad. 

She believes that true wellness comes from listening to the body and addressing the root causes of discomfort. She’s here to guide her clients on their journey to feeling their best, one step at a time. If you’ve been managing pain for a long time and you’re ready for someone to finally look at the whole picture, a conversation with Nav is worth it.

Stephanie Zimola

Registered Dental Hygienist & Myofunctional Therapist

As a Registered Dental Hygienist, Steph has spent twenty years looking inside people’s mouths. After completing a continuing education course in myofunctional therapy, everything shifted. Suddenly the patterns she had observed for years had a name, a cause, and most importantly, a solution. She hasn’t looked back since.

Myofunctional therapy addresses the function of the tongue, lips, and facial muscles and the way those functions shape everything from breathing and sleep to jaw development and posture. Steph loves to share a foundational truth most people have never been told: your tongue is supposed to rest lightly suctioned to the roof of your mouth with your lips closed. That roof of your mouth is also the floor of your nasal cavity, meaning where your tongue rests, how you breathe, and how your face develops are all deeply connected. When those patterns go off course early in life, the effects ripple outward in ways that can take years to fully surface.

Steph works with clients 3-4 years and up navigating mouth breathing, tongue tie, low tongue posture, tongue thrusting, snoring, and sleep apnea. For kids, sessions are built around encouragement and movement making the exercises feel like a game rather than homework. For adults, many of whom arrive having already tried everything else, meaningful change often begins showing up after just the first session.

With her background bridging dental hygiene and myofunctional therapy, Steph brings a rare depth of knowledge to a field that sits at the intersection of breathing, sleep, oral health, and whole-body function. She collaborates closely with orthodontists, ENTs, dentists, and manual therapists because she knows this work rarely travels alone.

Steph’s life is as active as her practice. Born in Newfoundland and raised in Thompson, she spent a year teaching English in Taiwan before settling into her busy life here in Winnipeg. Along with her husband, John, and their two boys, Jude and Grady, she is usually found at an arena, a soccer pitch, or a basketball court. In the winter, the boys are usually trying to beat her in a game of pond ringette, and in the summer, she hits the trails for outdoor runs. At home, she’s supported by her two rescue dogs, Stevie and Bruce, and is usually mid-way through a book or listening to a good podcast.

If you or your child struggle with disrupted sleep, chronic mouth breathing, or have been told a tongue tie may be a factor. Steph is one of very few practitioners who can meet you at that crossroads and help you navigate the full journey.

Sarah Epp

Registered Massage Therapist

Sarah’s sessions are a little brighter, a little louder, and a lot more intentional than what most people expect when they book a massage. Trained through a 2200-hour program at MH Vicars and shaped by years working alongside professional and recreational athletes in both Calgary and Winnipeg, Sarah brings an assessment-forward, movement-first approach to every client who walks through her door and a genuine conviction that massage therapy can do far more than most people know.

Her practice is built around empowerment. Rather than simply addressing what hurts in the moment, Sarah works to understand the full picture, a client’s history, their movement goals, their relationship with their body and builds treatment around where they want to go. Homecare is a cornerstone of her approach, giving clients practical tools and movement strategies they can take into their daily lives and sport. Sessions are engaged and collaborative, blending hands-on technique with open conversation about how the body moves and why.

Sarah’s own surgical rehabilitation journey is part of what drives her. She knows firsthand what it feels like to need care that goes beyond the surface and she has dedicated her practice to providing exactly that. Working with clients has taught her the importance of treating not only physical symptoms but managing the mental aspects of recovery, rehabilitation and longevity. Whether you’re a competitive athlete chasing performance, a weekend warrior managing wear and tear, or someone who just wants to get through the workday without feeling locked up, Sarah meets every goal with equal enthusiasm.

If it involves movement, Sarah is in. Whether she’s at CrossFit, snowboarding, biking, or running an ultra-trail, she lives the “movement-first” philosophy she shares with her clients. At home, she’s a lover of all animals (especially her dog Knox), a brewer of perfect espresso shots, and a frequent host for dinner parties. A self-proclaimed space obsessive, Sarah spent her youth wanting to be an astronaut. Today, you’ll still find her nightstand stacked with anatomy textbooks and sci-fi novels like Project Hail Mary. Sarah also works full-time in the technology industry. Because she doesn’t treat full-time, every hour she spends in the clinic is a choice fueled by passion and the joy of giving back to her community.

If you’re looking for a therapist who will take your movement goals as seriously as you do and give you the tools to actually reach them, Sarah is your person.

Dr. Paul Conyette PhD, ND, BSC, MLT, DOMP, RAc

Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine, Registered Manual Osteopath, Acupuncturist, & Psychotherapist

Dr. Paul Conyette’s journey into medicine began on a gymnasium bleacher. As a teenager sidelined by severe asthma, he felt the isolation of being unable to move. It wasn’t until a chance introduction to traditional medicine and martial arts that he realized the profound power of integrative care. Today, with over 35 years of experience, Dr. Paul is one of the most eclectically trained practitioners in Canada, bridging the gap between high-level clinical science and holistic tradition.

His background is vast, spanning pathology lab research at the University of Toronto to advanced surgical innovation. As a result, Dr. Paul thinks at multiple levels simultaneously. He considers the physical, biochemical, and emotional factors—integrating his expertise in Osteopathy, Psychology, Acupuncture, and Naturopathic Medicine. His deep understanding of pathological processes and pharmaceutical consultation allows him to connect the dots for patients with chronic, complex pain that hasn’t responded to conventional paths.

Dr. Paul’s clientele includes national athletes, corporate executives, and celebrities, yet he remains deeply committed to accessibility. Recognizing that severe pain can make travel impossible, he offers house calls on demand, ensuring that clinical excellence is never out of reach. His goal is to identify your barriers and teach you how to use your own strengths to overcome them.

A 2nd-degree Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do and a Canadian National coach, Dr. Paul lives the discipline he teaches. He is equally at home on the water whether he’s sailing, kayaking, or scuba diving, or in his art studio, where he is an impressionist painter of oil-on-canvas portraits. A devoted dog person and a lover of the cosmos, he stays grounded through his family, his faith, and his standing challenge: he will pay anyone who can beat him at a game of bubble hockey.

If you’ve been searching for a practitioner who can look past the symptoms to provide a truly comprehensive care plan, Dr. Paul is ready to help you find your flow again.

Theresa Schroeder

Registered Massage Therapist

For Theresa, massage therapy is goes beyond addressing a tight muscle. It’s an act of investigative care. Theresa joined the field of massage therapy after years of helping others in various capacities, finally finding the “why” that fuels her passion: treating the person, not just the symptom. Theresa’s approach is rooted in an osteopathic lens, focusing on how the musculoskeletal system functions as a deeply interconnected web.

She is a firm believer that a thorough assessment is never a waste of time, instead it is the key to unlocking why dysfunction is happening. Whether she is working with athletes or helping a neighbour find relief from daily stress, her goal is to reduce the obstructions that hold you back. In a session with Theresa, you can expect to be truly heard. Her practice is collaborative and people-first, meaning she holds space for your lived experiences and daily stresses as much as your physical goals. She views treatment as a way to support the body’s natural ability to move with less resistance—physically, neurologically, and emotionally.

A long-time resident of our community, Theresa brings that sense of belonging into the clinic every day. When she isn’t in the treatment room, you’ll likely find her leaning into her creative side with mixed media art and cardmaking, or catching up on the latest episode of Survivor.
