The Team
Carly Holland - RMT, R.Ac
Carly grew up involved in sports. Between watching and playing, her interest in how the body works and evolves is what brought her to the study of massage and acupuncture. Carly is a Registered Massage Therapist, a graduate of the Centennial College Massage Therapy program where she received an Advanced Diploma in 2012. Carly is also a Registered Acupuncturist, a graduate of AIM Academy where she received a diploma with honours in Acupuncture, in 2020.
With over a decade of experience, Carly understands that every body is different, therefore every treatment needs to be targeted to each clients specific needs. She believes that treatment enhances the restoration of normal body function and helps to create a natural harmony throughout the body. Her focal area is integrating different aspects of her learning into a full body treatment, specializing in a deep tissue approach.
Carly found acupuncture when trying to solve her own digestive concerns. She is very interested in helping treat digestive health as well as trauma and mental health care.
Carly has additional training in Indian Head Massage, Therapeutic Ultrasound, Cupping, Gua Sha and Cosmetic Acupuncture.

Gaby Alanes - Reiki Practitioner, Yoga Instructor and Intuitive Business Strategist & Consultant.
From her childhood, Gaby has always been energetically in-tune as she received Reiki regularly from her mother. She had a deep curiosity and connection with energetics and spirituality. However, as a first generation Canadian, Gaby pursued a more traditional career path. She went on to complete an Honours Business Administration & Masters in International Management from the Richard Ivey School of Business and had a successful corporate
career for over a decade working at top-tier companies globally. Deeper into her career, Gaby began to struggle with stress, anxiety and depression, but she distracted herself with her busy lifestyle until she reached a collapse which could not be ignored. Gaby took a pause from work to recalibrate, reconnect, and ultimately experienced an awakening. Deep self-work including Reiki, yoga and meditation rejuvenated her. The darkest hour became the best thing that ever happened to her. Gaby changed her life diving deeper into the study of Reiki (Komyo Reiki Level 1/2/Master in progress) and Yoga (200 Vinyasa YTT, 80 Hr Advanced Sequencing, 40 Hr Restorative Yoga and 40 Hr Pilates Training). Gaby is passionate about sharing the gifts of Reiki and Yoga to help each person heal and
empower themselves.
Outside of Reiki, Gaby teaches yoga regularly at select studios in Toronto and provides private, corporate and workshop sessions. Gaby also practices as an Intuitive Business Strategist & Consultant using her strategy, marketing and management expertise to help purpose driven businesses make an even bigger impact.
