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 also a Registered Acupuncturist, a graduate of AIM Academy where she received a diploma with honours in Acupuncture, in 2020.

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.

Yvonne Krisko - Reiki Master, Crystal Healer & Mindfulness Coach
After many years of a three hour daily commute and 14+ hours a day leading customer experience and strategic teams for large corporations, something needed to change. Committed to my well-being, I eliminated my commute and devoted the free time to my journey, enrolling in several classes and connecting with my true passions; the arts (acting, drums, visual arts) , holistic and spiritual health (Reiki, mindfulness/meditation, Yoga, metaphysics). Reiki is what changed my life and so it became my main focus.
Wellness is now my full-time role but I always find time for self-expression through the arts and I am dedicated to continuous improvement by expanding my wellness and spiritual toolkit each year.
