DR. ALESSIA STEFENATTI
& KAITLYN WENGLER
R.Ac & RMT

Dr. Alessia and Kaitlyn are a dynamic chiro and RMT duo, nature lovers and the creators of The Holistic Refinery. What started as shared chats about health, hiking and the need for better balance turned into a vision: a space where high-achieving individuals (like you) can recharge, realign and be fully supported.

Whether it was cottage weekends or mountain trails, their happiest moments always came back to feeling good in their bodies in the great outdoors. And they built The Holistic Refinery to help you do the same. Knowing the struggles of balancing wellness with the demands of a fast-paced career, they wanted to help people kiss back pain and tension goodbye in ways that are actually doable for busy lives.

This is a thoughtfully designed space in beautiful Bloor West Village, where clinical care meets calm energy, where your wellness plan fits into your calendar and your lifestyle. Offering a triple threat approach to holistic back pain and spinal care, including chiropractic, massage therapy and acupuncture, this warm, welcoming space puts you (and your nervous system) at ease.

It’s time to take your self-care as seriously as your schedule. And The Holistic Refinery is here to help you do just that.

  • My wife and I go regularly to The Holistic Refinery for chiropractic, massage therapy and acupuncture. We have been extremely pleased with the knowledge, professionalism and ambiance of the clinic. It’s very calming and relaxing. The practitioners are thorough in their assessments and treatments. They take the time to understand your needs.

  • This space feels like a breath of fresh air! From the moment you enter you feel so taken care of by all staff and the space itself feels incredibly inviting and calm. Had the most incredible massage from Kaitlyn! I felt so relaxed and she really took care of me and my body in ways that felt deeply nourishing. Thank you so much, I will definitely be back again soon1
