I’ve been practicing Osteopathy since 2020. I took additional courses in cupping and guasha.

Sherry Rahimi Traditional Chinese Acupuncturist (TCM)

My treatment style is always tailored to an individual’s needs to provide a client- centered treatment. My approach is centered in the understanding that emotions and physical health are intimately connected, believing that emotions impact the health of the body and vice versa. I strongly believe that the role of the practitioner is to act as a guide and facilitate healing that comes from within.

Robert Wight Registered Nutritionist

I am a Registered Holistic Nutritionist. I attend the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition during the period of 2020-2023 and graduated with a certificate of Merit in Natural Nutrition. My background as a Line Cook and Red Seal Chef prior to becoming a Nutritionist taught me the importance of hard work, passion for attaining top quality, and it deepened my love for all food: plant, animal, and last but certainly not least- microbes (bacteria and fungus that help us to live happy and healthy lives).

Along with my front desk colleague, I am the first point of contact at Apollo Physical Therapy for anything patient related or therapist related..
