I’m Kiera Di Leonardo - Registered Massage Therapist & Osteopathic Techniques

Having participated in high-level soccer from a young age, I was drawn to the wonders of the human body, especially as I recovered from various injuries including a concussion. I was receiving treatment from several practitioners, where I was first introduced to osteopathy. I am happy to work collaboratively with other practitioners as part of your health and wellness journey.

I immediately became intrigued and eager to embark on my journey into the health and wellness space. I began to study human kinetics at the University of Guelph and minored in neuroscience as I found the connection between the brain and the body fascinating. During this time, I was involved with concussion research teams at McMaster University and Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation. I then attended the Ontario College of Health and Technology where I received my diploma in massage therapy, and began my manual therapy career as a Registered Massage Therapist.

I am currently studying at the Canadian College of Osteopathy, integrating my growing manual therapy techniques into my massage therapy practice to best address clients’ wellness goals. Using my assessment and manipulation skills with a combination of fascial, soft tissue, and mobilization techniques, I aim to restore balance within the body, promote healing and provide therapeutic treatment tailored to each client.

Recently I have completed courses at The Institute of Functional Medicine and am currently enrolled in Functional Diagnostic Nutrition. I firmly believe nutrition and physiology are essential to a person’s health and well-being. 

I am always interested in learning and I am constantly on the lookout for courses that will further enrich my understanding of the human body and health.

Every person is unique with their own lived history and story. Genetics, biomechanics, and environment all impact health, which is why every client receives individualized care. The goal is to teach you how to listen to your body, to recognize when things are not quite right, and to take proactive control over your health. 

A multidisciplinary approach is often required which is why I use osteopathy as a foundation but incorporate functional medicine and nutrition into my practice. If referrals are required I have a wonderful group of colleagues I trust.
