Yasmine Hamidi

Co-Founder and Intern Massage Therapist

Before beginning my journey as a Registered Massage Therapist, I worked in a multidisciplinary clinic, studied kinesiology at UFV, and volunteered abroad in Hawaii; experiences that deepened my passion for holistic care and wellness. My motivation as an RMT comes from a genuine desire to support others in feeling seen, supported, and empowered in their health journey.

​

Outside the clinic, I love being outdoors, hiking, running, or exploring with my Mini Dachshund, Maximus. I also enjoy sports, music, and spending time with my sisters

Erika Enns

Life Coach

Erika has always had a deep love for people. Through the years, she has learned that everyone has a story and deserves a safe space to share it. She understands that relationships extend far beyond the romantic—we navigate complex bonds with family, coworkers, and friends. We navigate the ebbs and flows of our own personal growth to evolve the most important  relationship of all: the one with ourselves.

​

As an ICF-trained and trauma-informed coach, Erika’s professional approach mirrors her philosophy on life. She meets clients with kindness, curiosity, and respect. She has a deep desire to provide a non-judgmental space where everyone can be heard and heal. Whether you’re hoping to reconnect with yourself, untangling messy or hurtful systems or simply looking for a place to share your story and find your truth, you are welcome here. 

​

When she’s not coaching Erika can be found working for Young Hip &Married as a wedding officiant. She loves getting to know new couples and writing personal, creative ceremonies that help them celebrate their love in special ways that are unique to them. If she’s not marrying people all around southern BC, she’s likely finding ways to be present, take a breath or two and find the sweet moments with her family and her spunky mini dachshund, Lola!

Niamh Buckley

Yoga Teacher

I combine my background in psychology with my yoga training to build my classes around intuitive movement, breath control, nervous system regulation and energy flows to make my clients feel empowered in their bodies and minds. I aspire to deepen the understanding of my students of their bodies and their connection to the simplicities offered by everyday life.

​

I studied Yoga in one of the places where it began, Rishikesh - India, where I gained massive appreciation for the ancient traditions and teachings of the people there. Coming from an Irish Celtic tradition myself, I hope to share some learnings with my students about the appreciation these ancient civilzations had for themselves, the earth and their communities. I hope to help my students approach each day with awareness, gratitude and self-compassion through grounding and movement.
