Brandon Conforti graduated from McMaster University with a Master of Science Degree in physiotherapy, has been with PhysioMax Wellness since he was a student on placement in university and now he has made a great addition to our team as a fully registered physiotherapist.

He has a passion for orthopedics and worked in a variety of both inpatient and outpatient settings – including stroke, sports, and concussion rehabilitation – integrating these into his current private practice.

Brandon strongly believes physiotherapy should be based in a holistic approach, with the goal of helping clients return back to what they enjoy such as family life, sports, work, or hobbies.

He continues to refine his skills through participation in continuing education courses such as acupuncture/dry needling and also provides taping, cupping, and much more in clinic!

Like all members of the team, you will always see Brandon with a smile on his face and may even catch him dancing in clinic… to just about anything…??

As you may know my name is Angela Saavedra and I am a Registered Psychotherapist in the province of Ontario. Being born in Colombia and raised in the USA I bring a unique perspective to therapy with my experience in learning new languages and culture. This experience taught me to be compassionate and understanding towards others because you never know what someone else might be going through.

I graduated from Yorkville University with a Masters of Art in Counselling Psychology and have a Post-Grad in Brain Disorder Managements from Mohawk College. My passion for Psychology started from a young age and pursued my career at Brock University with an undergrad in Psychology. A lot of my focus on my studies have been on child and youth development, families and couples dynamics. I have also focused on prenatal and postnatal care for moms, due to my own motherhood journey that gave me a different perspective into the needs of moms. I have also developed an interest in helping neurodivergent individuals to find different tools and developing different skills that will help them navigate their life..

My type of therapy style is to work one on one with the client in a collaborative manner, where the client is the expert in the room and I am here to guide them through their own journey or obstacles in life. Together we will develop a treatment plan that works best for the client, by determining goals and ways to achieve them.
