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.

Stacey Lapham, MSW
Get to know Stacey
My name is Stacey Lapham and I’m an explorer. I was born with a highly curious nature and inner worlds are my favourite area of discovery. My therapy sessions are driven by a curiosity to learn more about our emotions and how they impact our functioning, relationships, and overall wellbeing.
Red Cardinal Counselling provides support for issues like low mood, anxiety, overwhelming stress, and relationship challenges, among other concerns.
In addition to general therapy services, Red Cardinal Counselling specializes in the treatment of trauma, as well as in work with teens and parents.
Therapy sessions often follow an eclectic approach, where techniques and theory from a variety of therapy models are weaved together. The following are some of my favourite models of therapy to draw from:
- Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy
- Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR)
- Solutions Focused Therapy
- Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) – Skills Training
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
- Motivational Interviewing (MI)
Working with teens is Red Cardinal Counselling’s sweet spot!
This phase of constant exploration and intense emotions is fertile ground, where small seeds of confidence, compassion, and courage can grow and bear fruit long into adulthood if given the chance.
With social media and instant access technologies, teens today are navigating in uncharted territory and - to be frank - the waters are not always friendly. This, in conjunction with the impact of pandemic restrictions, has amplified issues like depression, anxiety, substance and alcohol misuse, bullying, and relationship strain between teens and parents.
Parents are also finding themselves in over their heads. Our role is to pass on the lessons we have learned, but the game has changed so much since our own teen years that we can struggle to know what to do ourselves.
