As your therapist, my role is to meet you where you are and support you on your healing journey. I offer a gentle, collaborative, and client-centered approach that recognizes your inherent strength and resilience. My practice emphasizes the profound connection between our feelings, thoughts, and behaviours. My goal is to empower clients with effective skills to navigate and cope with life's various challenges.
With over 20 years of experience in various mental health agencies, I began my career as a child and youth worker. I later pursued my education at York University, where I earned both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Social Work.

Osteopathy and Naturopathic Patient
"Michelle made me feel comfortable and explained everything as she started the process. At the end of our session I felt so relaxed and for the rest of the day I felt like I was walking on a cloud. When I went to the studio to teach last night, my range of motion was much better and my knees felt great. Even the painful bunion on my foot had miraculously disappeared."
Osteopathy Client
"I would highly recommend Form & Function and specifically Michelle Durante. Michelle is extremely knowledgeable and highly professional. Her painstakingly detailed assessment, layman explanation and effective ongoing treatment resulted in a level of confidence and trust that I have not experienced with other practitioners in the past."

Osteopathy Client
"For over a decade I have suffered with terrible back pain on a regular basis. Nothing I tried was able to manage or reduce the pain. My fitness trainer suggested I try osteopathy, and specifically, Michelle Durante. I was in awe when the treatment provided by Michelle was so gentle and fluid, yet simultaneously so powerful in healing. I experienced immediate results after my first visit, and with regular visits, I'm now pain-free almost all of the time. I'm so grateful for Michelle and her incredible talent and skill in treating my back pain. I'm thrilled beyond words! Thank you Michelle for changing my life so much for the better!"
