Meet our professionals

  • Founder

    Saeedeh Shahbazi, affectionately known as Nora, a dedicated mother to two incredible children and a thriving Osteopathic Manual Practitioner. Nora's venture into the world of manual therapy was sparked by a personal experience of excruciating back pain, which prompted her exploration of non-pharmacological treatments. Fueled by this transformative journey, she delved into specialized manual techniques, mastering the art of healing and finding her calling as an advocate for natural, holistic approaches to wellness.

    Her path led her to pursue formal education at the National Academy of Osteopathy upon immigrating to Canada, where she honed her skills and earned her degree. Nora's approach to healing is rooted in viewing the body as a holistic system, striving to unlock its innate ability to heal itself. Now, she stands ready to share her expertise and passion with others, committed to guiding them on a journey towards optimal health and a life free from pain.

  • Meet Jessica, Registered Massage Therapist at GoldenCare Osteopathy! She takes a holistic, full-body approach to her practice, with a focus on manual lymphatic drainage.

    She also offers Brazilian lymphatic drainage, which targets bloating and water retention, as well as facial and buccal massage using Craniosacral techniques. Jessica has a special passion for working with patients dealing with headaches, migraines, and TMJ issues, having personally experienced these challenges as well.

Testimonials

  • Heidi T

    “I have had low back pain and immobility for over 20 years and have tried all kinds of physiotherapy, strength training, yoga, massage, feldenkrais, tensegrity yoga, pilates and even osteopathy from other practitioners, yet I have never been able to fix it. After seeing Nora once a week for the past 4 weeks I experienced a full day with no pain or immobility along with continued ease and flexibility. I honestly didn't think I would ever be able to fix it so this is the most hope I have had in a really long time. I am really hopeful. Nora is a really good listener.”

  • L & F Demichina

    I searched for a specialist that could relieve tension in my face and jaw, and help calm my nerves in general. As a post menopausal woman I was battling everything from indigestion to anxiety and Nora has the magic touch. Her calm, professional manner and genuine interest in my health gave me the confidence I needed to move forward with treatment. I feel better and more restful after her sessions. I have had cranial and full body/ digestive treatments and highly recommend her to anyone for any issues that you may have.

  • Elena Maxwell

    Nora is a great specialist! I was nervous to go to my first cranial osteopathy appointment with her but the second we met she made me feel very comfortable and answered all my questions. The service itself was great and the overall experience with Nora deserves 5+ google starts!

  • Pahnia Kurtz

    I had never seen an Osteopath before Nora and my experience so far has been incredible. After 3 sessions my hip and neck pain are gone and she has given me tools to make sure I can maintain this. She is professional, intuitive and warm and I cannot recommend her enough!

  • Michele Saum

    This was the most relaxing and therapeutic treatment and my jaw definitely felt better after. I’m looking forward to going again!

    Update: I’ve now had 2 appointments with Golden Osteopathy and I can’t even say how wonderful she is. It’s so relaxing, soothing and so helpful…I’m currently 9 months pregnant and the work she did on my neck and jaw was so helpful for all the discomfort I’m feeling!
