Client Reviews
Our Reviews
“I have seen both Elliot and Tamara separately for treatments for years and made great progress with each of them. But experiencing their four-hands treatment together took my healing to the next level!

Elliot and Tamara are amazing—each of them brings incredible relief on their own, whether you’re dealing with pain, tension, or just need to feel better overall. But when they work together, it’s truly next-level. The way they sync up enhances the entire experience, helping your body release tension faster and allowing your whole system to reset. It’s like double the healing in one session!
If you’re looking for real relief and a treatment that actually works, I can’t recommend them enough.”
“Elliot is an experienced multi-skilled practitioner delivering true holistic care for the past 20 years. His approach is perfect for time-challenged people like me.
Tamara is absolutely amazing. Her knowledge of the body is incredible and her ability to listen and genuinely care for her clients is unparalleled.
“I have been receiving osteopathic treatment from Elliot Vlad for many years. He has been an incredible resource for both myself and both of my children. Elliot is deeply intuitive in his work. His very unique approach has the ability to guide the body to release areas of restriction and at times stored emotions or trauma that may have been held for decades.

By listening to the tissues he can sense where and how the body wants to heal. His care and expertise have made a significant difference in our family’s well-being, and now especially following a serious accident that my daughter was in last year. I trust him fully with our health and have deep gratitude.”
– Miracle Natalie Cameron – Pediatric Craniosacral Therapist and Pranic Light Healing Instructor
“I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for all your help, Tamara, in getting me back to feeling like myself again. Thanks to your guidance and care, I’ve been able to fully experience my trip to France and Spain with hardly any pain—something I wasn’t sure would be possible just a few months ago.

The moment that truly got me was when I lifted my daughter onto my shoulders. I almost shed a tear. For a long time, I wasn’t sure I’d ever be able to do that again, and being able to share that moment with her was incredibly special. Your expertise and support have made all the difference, and I’m so grateful.” “

Answers
FAQ's
What is Co-Thrive?
Picture this: two expert practitioners, four hands, all focused entirely on you.
Co-Thrive brings Elliot and Tamara together in one remarkable two-hour session, where physiotherapy, osteopathy, and mind–body therapy are delivered simultaneously. Both practitioners address physical restrictions while also working with energetic patterns, creating a truly synchronized and integrated approach to healing.
The result is a level of care that can accomplish in one session what typically requires multiple appointments, leading to meaningful shifts you can feel right away.
Can I book longer sessions or bring family and friends?
Can you come to me?
Absolutely. For clients in the Ottawa area (within 20 minutes of Westboro), we charge $40 each way to bring our services to your door. We also offer intensive sessions in Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, and Halifax. For these destinations, clients cover travel costs including flights, accommodation, and per diem, all discussed upfront during booking.
What exactly is Osteopathy?
In Canada, Manual Osteopaths aren’t medical doctors (unlike in the US). Instead, they’re body mechanics, experts who’ve spent years studying how every part of you connects and affects the whole.
Your osteopathic practitioner might:
- Free up stiff joints in your spine
- Release tight fascia (that web of connective tissue throughout your body)
- Improve how your organs move and function
- Balance your nervous system through craniosacral therapy
- Improve circulatory and lymphatic flow
- Help your body find better, more efficient alignment
Elliot and Tamara, both licensed Manual Osteopaths, trained at respected Canadian osteopathic colleges and maintain active memberships in professional associations (OAO and NMOS, respectively). While the profession awaits formal regulation in Canada, they’re committed to the highest standards of practice and ongoing education.
The bottom line? Osteopathy is a remarkably effective approach that sees your body as the interconnected system it truly is and treats it that way.
Are any of these treatments covered by insurance?
Yes, physiotherapy and osteopathic treatment are covered by most extended health insurance plans when provided by a licensed practitioner. Coverage varies by insurer and plan, so we recommend checking your individual policy for details.
Can corporations write these costs off?
Yes. Our services are often expensed by corporations under health and consulting categories. We recommend consulting your accountant to ensure proper classification.
What happens if the dates I am looking to book an appointment for are not available?
If your preferred dates are unavailable, we encourage you to reach out. Whenever possible, we offer additional days or extended availability to accommodate your schedule.
