Hello!

I’m setting up camp at Soul Set Yoga studio for the next couple of months and look forward to seeing you all again!

My Accountability Policy is a super strict 48HRS notice for any reschedule, change (i.e. shorter/longer sesh) or cancellation.

It might seem like a large window of time, but it’s actually a very short time for me to fill that spot and recover my lost income.

I charge the full price of your session UNLESS:

1) A friend, family member or colleague grabs the appointment time (someone who isn’t from the same household/workspace if you’re sick)

2) If there’s enough time for me to post on socials and get the spot filled by a super-happy human

Reasons why you might cancel:

Illness Forgetting/thinking you booked a different day Work schedule change/meeting Lack of childcare Transportation issues Bad weather (guys, we live in a very “exciting” area with lots of weather changes - please take note and plan!)

If I cancel on you, you better believe I’m gonna go above and beyond to reschedule ASAP, with extended hours, extra treatment time or reduced treatment fees, because I respect your time just as much as you respect mine.

All right? Awesome.

See you on my table,

Yvo

Somatic Support & Rehabilitation (RMT)

Massage therapy is a co-regulating somatic experience that addresses our physical discomforts with positive, comforting touch. It's also a way to re-connect with you body and learn how to interpret the interoceptive signals that can go unnoticed - your stress responses. Techniques used can be applied with you clothed, or traditionally unclothed to your comfort (and covered with linens, "d... Read More

Massage therapy is a co-regulating somatic experience that addresses our physical discomforts with positive, comforting touch.

It's also a way to re-connect with you body and learn how to interpret the interoceptive signals that can go unnoticed - your stress responses.

Techniques used can be applied with you clothed, or traditionally unclothed to your comfort (and covered with linens, "draping") with the use of oil.

My style of manual therapy is all about your needs and preferences, together we will aim to fine tune the best approach in your sessions.


Nervous System Regulation (RMT)

Safety starts in the body, and our social systems are geared towards positive and comforting connection. Massage therapy is a co-regulating somatic experience that allows you to become mindful of your pain signals, and helps to support a re-wiring of your physical experience.

Safety starts in the body, and our social systems are geared towards positive and comforting connection.

Massage therapy is a co-regulating somatic experience that allows you to become mindful of your pain signals, and helps to support a re-wiring of your physical experience.

This series of treatments is designed with 20 years of lived experience, professional education and personal development.

These sessions take Massage Therapy to a more comprehensive state of healing, education and self-regulation. The goal is to teach you, through manual therapy and your own innate ability to heal, that pain is manageable.

Sessions fall under the scope of Registered Massage Therapy, and I always refer out to mental health professionals to assist in a comprehensive circle of care.

I've spent the last 10 years of my life building ethical business' and curating awesome work environments for Wellness practitioners to thrive in.

With a background as a DIY concert promoter, band leader and project management pre-google, I cut my teeth with cold calls and learning how to show mutual respect for whatever goal that was in front of me.

As a highly seasoned RMT and professional musician, I still honour my values and take great joy I'm sharing my clients journey.

I can teach you the ins and outs of growing a new practice, or give a pre-existing business a thorough overhaul.

I am a co-regulating manual therapist who assists your body in acknowledging your stress and trauma response with pain relief strategies, and I teach you how to help yourself so you can healthfully self-regulate.

My ultimate goal is to help you observe your neuroception (internal body awareness) through touch therapy, to relay feelings of safety, comfort and ease. Together, we are creating a stress and pain response troubleshooting kit, to re-establish your innate healing ability.

By fostering your adeptness to navigate Autonomic and Sympathetic Nervous System (ANS & SNS) distress experiences, you will learn to rule the world (well, your body world!). In simpler terms, I’m helping you decode the physical symptoms, while alleviating pain and exploring which “tissues have issues”. From there, I coach you on your best movement and rehabilitation options, and connect you with some other amazing practitioners to keep on truckin’.

I welcome everyone to my practice, as a queer non-binary person, and I approach care from a deep respect for humanity and vulnerability. I completely understand how challenging it can be to develop a trusting bond that can promote healing and I respect to everyone who shows up for themselves. I work on myself just as much as I work on others, and I always try my best.

I co-own two additional wellness clinics in Toronto (www.originwellness.ca), and operate a wellness coaching business geared towards anyone who takes care of others for a living. I love teaching people how to balance a thriving and ethical business, with a healthy and fulfilling personal life. I’m also an RMT techniques educator, and I’m in the process of developing continuing education courses for manual therapists. My education comes from 15 years in practice, but also 25 years of personal growth through various therapies, life adventures, failures and come-backs.

I’m very fortunate to perform and tour as a professional musician, and feel as if I’m living a dream life my kid self would be in awe of.

I look forward to taking care of you!
