Yuan Yuan (Alice) Shi, Registered Massage Therapist
Hi, my name is Yuan Yuan (Alice) Shi. I have worked as a massage therapist in China since 2012. The experience of Chinese massage techniques, like acupressure, taina, and shiatsu, has enriched my expertise. Out of curiosity, I went back to Wellington College in 2023 for further education in western techniques, including facial relief, musculoskeletal manipulation, stretching, and lymphatic drainage. With more experience and special expertise, I believe I can help more people with different expectations and provide clients with customized treatments using different techniques.
Additionally, I will soon finish my acupuncture diploma. The three-year acupuncture course has allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of how Yin and Yang imbalance can cause pathological conditions, syndromes, or diseases. With different modalities, I hope to help my clients achieve a pain-free life and better movement. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, working out, cooking, and reading. It is always my pleasure to have you as my client.
Oleksandr Korniiko, Registered Massage Therapist
My name is Oleksandr Korniiko, and I’m a licensed massage therapist based in Winnipeg. Before coming to Canada, I worked as a physiotherapist in Ukraine and was also a Paralympic biathlete. I had the honour of representing my country and later dedicated myself to helping others — working with athletes and people with disabilities to support their recovery, mobility, and confidence.
I founded a rehabilitation centre and a sports club in Ukraine where individuals with disabilities could thrive, forget their limitations, and live full, joyful lives.
Today, I continue this mission through massage therapy — offering both relaxing and therapeutic techniques aimed at relieving pain, restoring function, and improving overall well-being.
My work is grounded in a deep understanding of the human body, years of hands-on experience, and a genuine passion for helping others live healthier, happier lives.
