Katharine Liberatore is an experienced osteopathic manual practitioner with over 20 years of full-time clinical practice. She is passionate about helping people move, feel, and live better by combining hands-on treatment, cutting-edge pain science, and a personalized, holistic approach to care.
Katharine understands that pain is not always a simple reflection of tissue damage — it’s shaped by how the brain and nervous system interpret information from the body. By integrating the latest research on neuroplasticity, nervous system regulation, and modern pain science, she helps patients retrain how their bodies and brains process pain.
Her treatments are designed not only to restore mobility and function, but also to reduce sensitivity in the nervous system, helping patients achieve longer-lasting relief and greater confidence in their movement.
A Personalized Approach to Care
No two patients are alike. Katharine takes the time to listen deeply, understand each person’s health story, and create customized treatment plans that support their unique goals.
Her approach blends:
-
Manual therapy to restore balance and mobility
-
Pain education to help patients understand what’s happening in their bodies
-
Movement strategies to build strength and resilience
-
Collaboration with other healthcare professionals for comprehensive care
-
Patients describe her style as compassionate, thorough, and empowering — helping them not just recover, but gain tools to manage and overcome pain.

Navid D. Djadid (He/Him/His)
R. Ac. (TCM Acupuncturist, CANADA),
PhD (Medical & Biological Science, UK)
Navid received his Diploma in Acupuncture from Toronto School of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TSTCM) and registered with CTCMPAO as acupuncturist (R. Ac.), followed by joining different teams of acupuncturists, physiotherapists, naturopaths, and chiropractors in multidisciplinary clinics. Navid main interest in practicing is pain management and trauma related to various diseases/disorders/disabilities by using acupuncture (different needling techniques), acupoints stimulation, moxibustion, Tui Na, cupping, and Gua Sha, leading to an energy flow (Qi)through the body, thereby reducing pain and improving health. However, in evaluating acupuncture treatment outcomes, many factors are crucial including; patients input and subjective experience, practitioner’s intake and examination, laboratory tests and medical device measurements. It is obvious that various pathological conditions related to different human body systems (nervous, respiratory, digestive, musculoskeletal, etc.) are determined based on all the above factors, and no single factor determines the effectiveness from the practitioners’ perspectives. We will achieve this goal by interactional process of co-constructing understanding of the patient’s body conditions through better communication skills, and reaching scientifically sound clinical outcomes in compliance with treatment plan and high patient satisfaction, a root solution that makes your body stronger and healthier.
Navid has also served as a faculty member (Professor) for more than 20 years, having field, laboratory, R&D, teaching and advisory experience in prevention, control and vaccine development for infectious diseases (VBDs) in pharmaceutical company, universities, public health departments, National CDC, World Health Organization (WHO/EMRO), and startup company, with 120 published papers, 4 books, 8 national and 2 US patents.
