Narges Nafissi
Narges is a Registered Kinesiologist and fitness trainer who helps you move past pain and get back to the activities you love. If stiffness, sore joints, or lingering injuries are holding you back, she works with you to find solutions that make a real, tangible difference in your everyday life. Her approach is about more than exercise; it’s about helping you walk, lift, reach, and move with ease and confidence again. She has worked with athletes striving for peak performance, individuals recovering from musculoskeletal injuries, and people who want to maintain strength, mobility, and independence as they move through different stages of life. Regardless of your starting point, she listens closely to your concerns and designs a plan tailored to your lifestyle and goals.
She earned her Bachelor of Science in Honours Kinesiology from the University of Waterloo and is currently completing her thesis-based Master’s in Biomechanics at the University of Waterloo. Her graduate studies focus on the biomechanics of the upper extremity and osteoarthritis of the shoulder joint, using computational modelling and advanced assessment methods to study joint mechanics and degeneration. This training deepens her understanding of movement and joint health, strengthening the knowledge base she draws on to support clients in reducing pain, restoring mobility, and protecting long-term joint health.
Her approach to care is based on the belief that you should see and feel results, not just in the gym, but in the moments that matter most to you. That could mean climbing or walking down the stairs without discomfort, carrying your kids or groceries with ease, slipping back into your favourite pair of pants, sitting through a long day at your desk without pain, or having the energy to power through your day without feeling drained. By blending rehabilitation, strength training, and healthy weight management, she helps you build a body that feels resilient and bulletproof, capable of moving well, resisting setbacks, and thriving in everyday life.

Albert Yang
Does your child struggle to express big emotions? Are you a teen, young adult, or couple feeling stuck in cycles of anxiety, conflict, or self-doubt? Do you—or your child—find solace in video games but wish those problem-solving skills could “level up” your real-life resilience? Albert Yang, MS, MFT, specializes in helping children, adolescents, young adults, couples, and families transform challenges into strengths.
Whether your child needs support navigating school stress through creative play, you’re a teen grappling with identity, a young adult overwhelmed by transitions, or a couple seeking deeper connection, Albert provides a safe, dynamic space to heal and grow—blending therapeutic expertise with an understanding of gaming culture and modern stressors.
With a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy and two years of clinical experience, Albert utilizes solution-focused therapy and systemic perspectives to help clients to uncover hidden strengths.

For children and adolescence, Albert creates a playful, nonthreatening environment where healing happens through storytelling, role-playing, or expressive activities—never forcing “adult-style” talk.

Myles Pye
Osteopathy combines Myles’ passion for physics, problem-solving, and helping people into a practice of rehabilitative and preventative care.
It can be frustrating when you are juggling appointments, you’re in pain, and you are just not getting the resolve you are looking for. You deserve to be heard and taken seriously. If you are struggling with your activities of daily living, for example, from washing your hair to walking your dog, or if you’re feeling tight or sore whether its constant or episodic. Myles Pye M.OMSc. is here to help.
Myles Started his career 20 years ago working with physiotherapists to develop exercise plans that suited the clients/patients’ individual needs. Versed in a variety of settings such as clinical work, long term care, retirement, mental health, WSIB, MVA, aquatic therapy and more, Myles was always looking for that underlying question of “Why”. Although every healthcare practitioner is daunted with the same task and question, Osteopathy provides a unique look into how the bodies anatomy and physiology work together to keep your machine for survival running optimally. We are products of the way we live, and fortunately for us, our bodies have a built-in mechanism to compensate. The problem we then face is that the tissues that are stepping up to lend a hand to help out then get tired and sore as well, creating a domino effect which can spread in every direction. The best course of action is then to stop this in its tracks!
Myles Pye, M.OMSc., wants to teach you how to understand how your bodies healing mechanisms work, and provide the tools needed to recognize the start of these compensation patterns, and when it is necessary to seek help.
Starting with a comprehensive assessment, and full health history, Myles will walk you through the process, encouraging you to be a part of the dialogue to make sure you are informed about your health, and what you may be expecting as we move through the treatment plan. It is very important that you are able to advocate for yourself in the healthcare industry, and he wants to make sure you feel confident and ready to navigate the system.
Osteopathic treatment will be tissue dependent. The reason this is important is our bodies guard against harm. This sets new parameters to when our bodies put up their defenses, and even in some cases, the way they respond to pain. In the early stages of treatment, we may focus on getting these defenses down and guiding you in a way that helps you reset these barriers, so you know the true limit of what is available to you. By breaking this cycle of tension and guarding, apprehension and trepidation decrease, and our bodies more efficiently accept the treatment being implemented providing us more confidence through our movements
With a history of working with Toddlers to the geriatric population, you can expect unwavering empathy, patience, and a calm demeanor making him easy to talk to, and left with no doubt he has your best interests at heart.
Through principal-based Osteopathy, Myles works in the coordinated, evidence-based care model at Carespace, where he works collaboratively with other disciplines to make sure your health is our number one priority. The longer your pain and movement restrictions go unchecked, the longer the road to recovery, so an open dialogue between the client/patient and the practitioners’ goals must align. With Myles you can always expect transparency and clarity as to where you stand with your treatment, and where you are headed.
