Kevin’s (he/they) practice is fundamentally about radical acceptance + returning to your innate healing nature. Their treatments support your freedom of being so that you can get real about where you’re at and feel supported to bring health into your life, your own way.

In the treatment room, they often use acupuncture alongside somatic therapy, palpation and gentle Tui Na massage to bring awareness + healing to the subtle roots of symptoms. Other tools include cupping + moxibustion as well as movement, meditation and/or breathwork to integrate treatments.

In practice, they are particularly familiar with physical pain and injury, mental-emotional health, hormonal health, queer health, and BIPOC health. They spent years as a ballet dancer, healing the many injuries that came with it. A second career as a yoga + qigong teacher in Asia highlighted the interdependence of mind-body-spirit-culture in healing. They believe that bringing forth your most authentic self amidst oppressive systems is a way of healing both yourself and the world. They do this while centring joy, beauty and compassion… preferably nourished by meaningful company, fresh local foods and a slow sunset.

Yenina began her journey in massage therapy in 2005 after completing a two-year program at the West Coast College of Massage Therapy. With over a decade of experience, she developed a profound passion for her craft. Her interest in massage therapy was initially sparked during her years as a competitive ballroom dancer, where she experienced firsthand the therapeutic benefits of massage.

In 2020, Yenina faced a pivotal moment in her career after a personal injury left her uncertain about her future as a massage therapist. During this time, she experienced chronic TMJ issues and persistent earaches, which led her to deepen her understanding of TMJD. This challenging journey inspired her to refine her practice, focusing on helping others manage TMJ-related conditions.

She enjoys continuing her education and exploring new techniques to provide her patients with quality care.

Michelle is a second-generation Chinese Canadian with strong ties to her culture. Chinese Medicine has been a part of her life from a young age from attending acupuncture appointments with her parents to watching her Yeh Yeh (grandpa) boil pungent herbs in their garage. The teachings and philosophies of Traditional Chinese Medicine are founded on the principles of balance and harmony – balance and harmony within yourself, with others, and with Mother Nature. When things are out of balance, dis-ease is the result. Michelle aims to teach her patients to live intuitively and aligned with Mother Nature to achieve a life of balance. Outside of the clinic, Michelle loves spending time down at the beach with her dog (especially during low tide) and trying out new recipes in the kitchen.

TCM is a natural medical system that has withstood thousands of years of practice and results. We look at each person as a complex and individual system, which means each person is treated uniquely based on their constitution, lifestyle and symptoms. TCM is empowering in that it tells your body how to heal, it directs your body to areas that need healing and allows the innate intelligence of your system to complete the process. You truly heal yourself.

My clinical practice is focused on, but not limited to fertility and women’s health, pain, mental health and holistic skincare.

Included in my toolbox is acupuncture, moxibustion, Chinese herbs, cupping, gua sha, tui na (massage) and lifestyle and dietary counselling.

My journey started with a fundamental yoga practice followed by completing a degree in Kinesiology, to becoming a yoga teacher and certified personal trainer, and finally a 5 year diploma of Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine including an internship at the Tzu Chi hospital in Taipei, Taiwan. I’m looking forward to sharing my love of health and healing with you.
