Steve Boyle, TCMP
Steve Boyle graduated in 2005 from the Alberta College of Acupuncture and
Traditional Chinese Medicine, which is the Canadian campus of the University
of Beijing in China. Steve has a diploma in both Acupuncture and
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Steve is a member of the Ontario
Association of Acupuncture and TCM. Steve was drawn to Chinese Medicine
because of its simplified and efficient diagnostic techniques and its
multitude of therapies for the treatment of disease or disharmonies. Steve
is from Thunder Bay, and after graduation he returned immediately back home
to offer the people of Thunder Bay another option to better their health and
quality of life. TCM, when used in conjunction with Chiropractic and
Massage therapy can quickly speed the healing process of many
musculoskeletal problems (ie. back injuries). Steve looks forward to
meeting as many people as possible so he can help them on their road to
recovery and life enjoyment.
Alison Gigliotti, RMT
Alison Gigliotti will begin with numbers; she is a mother of two, a wife of one, from a family of five and a massage therapist who has been practicing for 13 years. Before graduating from Sutherland-Chan School and Teaching Clinic in 1997, Alison had two jobs that helped shape her philosophy of care; first in a health food store and second as support for people with developmental disabilities. These experiences formed a belief that each person can work to achieve good health and that achieving this requires a holistic, involved approach of which massage therapy is an important part.
Alison has had experience working with people with everything from spinal cord injuries to diabetes, in palliative care and with people who are recently bereaved. Being in a clinic that caters to families of all shapes and sizes, she has been able to use her experience in pre and post natal massage and loves helping expectant mothers to be healthy and comfortable during pregnancy (she also considers it a huge job perk when new moms bring in their newborns and the two of them curl up on the table for a massage).
Alison is in the process of studying to become a Registered Holistic Nutritionist and in her spare time loves taking photos of her family; she was tickled that Dr. Coulter asked her to do the family portraits for the clinic.
Alison has worked with Dr. Leila Coulter since 2003 in various clinics and is thrilled to have settled in at Healthy Families Wellness Centre in a community of Massage Therapists, Chiropractors and Acupuncturists.
