tmb founder
DR. SHALINI BHAT
Dr. Bhat is a Chiropractor and double certified Functional Medicine Practitioner (IFMCP, CFMP) with over 10 years of experience in the wellness field. She is the founder of TMB, the designer of multiple virtual FUNC MED programs, and the creator of THE PERFECT FIIT (a signature workout) and TMB FIIX (a unique treatment method using fascial release, movement and acupuncture techniques).
Her signature approach to FUNC MED focuses largely on teaching. She distills complex information into relatable analogies that you can understand and activate meaningfully for your own body and lifestyle. Because when you understand WHY you’re doing something, long-lasting transformations are attainable.
Her down-to-earth nature was born from her own personal injuries and gut-health challenges that western medicine was unable to remediate. She’s felt traditional systems not working in her own body and understands first hand the frustration that comes with that.
In her private practice, her treatments and programs focus on providing patients with actionable road-maps to moving, feeling and looking their best using all her tools, from fascia and movement, to hormones and gut health. And since she truly lives the lifestyle she shares with her patients, you may end up with all sorts of extra personalized bio-hacks.
Dr. Bhat works with people who have been told they’re “normal” by their doctors, yet feel “off” (bloating, low energy etc.) She cuts through the noise and fads to bring you the most relevant, FUNC MED testing and scientific research for your body, your mind and your microbiome.

Imagine health and wellness care the way it should feel:
Grounded in science, obsessed with results and wrapped up in empathic support.
That’s how we do it here at TMB.
We’re a virtual and Toronto functional medicine clinic. We also specialize in contemporary Pilates, chiropractic care and acupuncture. At our core, however, we are a wellness brand focused on sustainable long-term solutions for your health that feel genuinely good to live by.
What makes us different? We’ve been where you are – straddling allopathic and alternative medicine, struggling, frustrated, feeling uncomfortable in our bodies, feeling clouded in our mindset and being told things are “fine” while we know they’re not, or being offered band-aid solutions that don’t resonate.
The TMB Method is a person-centered approach to health that functionally assesses, tests and treats you as a whole human being – body, mindset, movement, nutrition and more. If you’re ready for better digestion, sustained energy, deeper sleep, radiant skin and aging with confidence in a fun, upbeat environment, join our empowered community and experience how incredible life can really be.
Even our own patients can’t quite describe what we do and often resort to saying, “They’re just magic!”

DR. SHELLEY PINARD
Dr. Shelley is driven by one simple idea: everyone can achieve greater health with the right tools, especially kids.
Passionate about TMB’s pediatric FUNC MED programs, she adores working directly with parents to help them and their little ones unlock healthy, vibrant futures! (And for her hardworking mamas, she provides our TMB FACE treatments for some pampering!)
When it comes to injuries, she loves playing detective and finding the root cause of her client’s pain and dysfunction. She addresses individuals as whole, unique systems and lives for the magic of our signature TMB FIIX treatments.
Dr. Shelley practices what she preaches and is always striving to find innovative ways to upgrade her own daughter’s health. When she’s not nerding out on new research or working one on one with a client, you can find her in the studio doing Perfect FIIT or a silly dance to bring a smile to someone’s face.

DR. MICHELLE SOLOMON
Michelle doesn’t believe in “quick fixes” and wants everyone to move well and without pain so they can enjoy all aspects of their lives. She’s passionate about how the body moves and loves learning the most current information to further understand the mechanism of someone’s injury.
Her interest in movement is reflected through her additional training in functional integrated acupuncture, active release therapy, osteo articulate joint pumping, concussion management, and cupping.
Her treatment plans incorporate a variety of modalities that will impact the muscular and nervous system for best results.
In her spare time, Michelle can be found playing with her daughter, partaking in Pilates and cooking healthy treats for her family. And of course, there’s always time for a bit of reality tv and skincare – it’s about balance, right?

JULIA GRUNDY
Julia is passionate about empowering people to overcome their physical and mental obstacles so they can be the best versions of themselves. She focuses on the big picture in order to find the cause of injury and treat patients for long term relief. Julia is trained in functional integrated acupuncture and uses acupuncture as an additional tool to get your body moving and feeling great!
Julia brings sunshine with her into everything she does including every patient interaction. She allows a space for her patients to feel welcomed, heard, and empowered. You won’t be able to leave a treatment without a big smile on your face!
In her spare time she loves spending time outdoors at the cottage, cooking new recipes, exploring new places and staying active!
{CERTIFIED HEALTH COACH AND PILATES INSTRUCTOR}
KATIE BURNS
Katie is a multi-passionate wellness enthusiast with a background in business administration, culinary management and nutrition. Additionally, she loves helping people learn how to embrace movement through TMB’s signature Pilates style.
She’s experienced first hand how changing health habits and incorporating positive daily habits can transform your entire life. She believes that you become a happier person all around when multiple areas of your life are in alignment and thinks that everybody deserves to feel excited and happy to wake up and start their day.
In her spare time she enjoys cooking (always with music and a glass of wine), watching scary movies and doing anything in the sunshine. And when the sun isn’t around, she likes to curl up with a good book or two, as well as partake in regular meditations to keep herself centered and in alignment.
