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.

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.

Yuan Yuan (Alice) Shi,

R. Ac

Hi, my name is Yuan Yuan (Alice) Shi. My journey in holistic health began in 2012 in China, where I trained and worked as a massage therapist specializing in traditional techniques such as Tui Na, acupressure, and Shiatsu. These practices introduced me to the core philosophy of Chinese medicine — the belief that true health comes from balance.

Driven by a desire to deepen and broaden my understanding of the body, I continued my masage studies in 2023 at Wellington College, where I trained in Western techniques including musculoskeletal manipulation, therapeutic stretching, facial release, and lymphatic drainage. Integrating both Eastern wisdom and Western clinical approaches allows me to see the body from multiple perspectives and create treatments tailored to each individual.

Now practicing as a qualified acupuncturist and RMT , I am deeply guided by the principles of Yin and Yang and the understanding that imbalance can manifest as pain, dysfunction, or disease. Rather than treating symptoms alone, I aim to restore harmony within the body, supporting natural healing and long-term well-being.

My goal is to help my clients not only become pain-free, but also move better, feel balanced, and reconnect with their bodies.

Outside of my practice, I enjoy hiking, working out, cooking, and reading — activities that help me maintain my own balance in life.

It is always a pleasure to support you on your journey toward health and harmony.
