Yvonne Moir, RMT
Let me tell you a little about myself...
Yvonne Moir, RMT is an evidence-based, trauma-informed practitioner. They have been providing inclusive care since 2009.
Yvonne has developed her treatment style to suit the needs and preferences of their patient base – from very gentle techniques to deeper work, Yvonne tailors their approach to ensure the patient is relaxed, in control of their comfort and feeling the benefits on table, and ideally as long as possible once they leave the session. They encourage self-healing, and focus primarily on how to help patients find routines and wellness patterns, to create empowerment instead of dependency.
Ongoing studies have lead Yvonne to focus treatment on chronic pain, especially with patients who manage mental health challenges, who are undergoing hormone replacement therapy (HRT), are navigating PTSD, and those who suffer from anxiety and depressive conditions. They have extensive experience in treating concussions, post-surgical care (including top-surgery and other body empowerment surgeries), weekend-warrior injuries, sedentary injuries, pregnancy-related discomfort, migraines, TMJ dysfunction and more. Regardless of the condition, there is always a solution for relief!
As a life-long student, Yvonne feels invigorated by learning how to support others through touch therapy, and is a promoter of mind-body healing. She values a comprehensive support from talk-therapists, movement coaches and other practitioners that are patient-centered -preferring to work as a village wherever possible to bolster patients.
Yvonne welcomes all people to their practice, as they approach care from a deep respect for humanity and vulnerability. They understand how challenging it can be to develop a trusting bond that can promote healing and shows respect to everyone who shows up for themselves.
In addition to being an RMT in Tiny, Yvonne co-owns www.originwellness.ca in Toronto. When not treating patients, or managing their businesses, Yvonne is also a touring musician and recording artist.
Living outdoors with their partner and dog takes up the rest of her time.
