OUR TEAM
Nicolas Ledoux, Massage Therapist and Owner
I have practiced massage therapy for 28 years and specialize in Shiatsu, Swedish massage, and Tibetan reflexology. I also work on deep structures, myofascial tissues and trigger points. My approach is client-centered and intuitive, meaning I tailor the massage to the individual's needs, using movement as a guide. I have experience working with athletes and individuals with chronic pain and generalized anxiety. I aim to provide the proper massage for the moment while always respecting the client's limits and personal journey.

Anne Valérie Jasmin, Massage Therapist
I provide massage therapy using a psychosomatic approach. I have over 20 years of experience and specialize in a variety of techniques, including hatha yoga, contemplative analytical meditation, Swedish, Californian, and Shiatsu massage, Fasciatherapy, Reiki, Lomi Lomi Nui, and Chi Nei Tsang, an abdominal massage technique that originates from QiQong.
As a graduate of ARCHE in Ericksonian Hypnosis, I am continually amazed by the vast potential of body-mind support techniques.
During a massage session, I utilize fluid and all-encompassing maneuvers that are slow and gentle, allowing me to better access the depths of the body while respecting its structures. I place great emphasis on actively listening to my clients and encouraging the emergence and use of body awareness on a daily basis. Whether in silence or through dialogue, I view this work as a dance, an art of presence, and a space that is offered for regeneration. Ultimately, this is a shared act of seeking balance.

Chloé Ottaviano, Naturopath
My vision of naturopathy is to search for the root causes of deep-seated imbalances to better understand them. I then tailor naturopathic approaches and tools to each individual person. I use the practical and science-based aspects of current naturopathy while exploring its traditional and holistic dimensions. I am passionate about making health information accessible to everyone so that people can take control of their own health and well-being. Naturopathy is a way to get to know yourself better, and I would be happy to guide you on this journey using my knowledge and expertise.

Ève-Marie Gingras, Massage Therapist (Longueuil branch)
I fell in love with massage therapy after experiencing its physical and emotional benefits during my first massage. I wanted to share these benefits with others, so I began training in Swedish Kinetic Massage© at Institut Kiné-Concept. I graduated in 2006 and continued my training in Shiatsu. I believe in the importance of learning, so I have also completed courses in massage for pregnant women, chair massage, therapeutic cupping, and training given by Wataru Ohashi, a leading figure in Shiatsu massage, called "Understanding the Language of the Body".
I prioritize listening, intuition, and creativity in my practice to cater to each person's unique needs.
Line Godbout, Tuina Therapist, Yoga and QiGong Teacher
In 2006, I was introduced to the internal martial arts of Neigong, Qigong, and Tai Chi. These practices provide a stable place to recharge your batteries: your body. Discovering these disciplines opened the door to a vast universe I was unaware of. I realized I had a new potential to develop, leading to a new vision of health. In 2010, I became curious about the different schools of thought and eager to learn more about the subject, so I was drawn to yoga. I had already experienced its benefits by attending courses, workshops, seminars, and retreats. I decided to share my knowledge and completed several teacher training courses. Since then, I have been teaching and continuing my apprenticeship under the guidance of the masters. My teaching is precise, considering the body as a whole as an intelligent vehicle capable of self-healing. I invite students to explore, experiment, and discover body mechanics and energy circulation. I encourage them to consider bodywork daily, which can be achieved through various approaches.

Morgane Delabi, Osteopath
I am a graduate of Idheo Nantes in France. I discovered osteopathy at a young age, owing to my involvement in sports. Years of competitive ballet dancing led me to consult my osteopath, which further fueled my desire to enter the world of healthcare. Thanks to my five years of study and work placements in hospitals, I've acquired the skills needed to treat a wide range of patients, from babies to the elderly, athletes, and pregnant women. What's more, an exchange to London as part of the Erasmus programme enabled me to broaden my thinking about my osteopathic practice. I aim to offer patients comprehensive treatment that meets their needs with empathy and kindness.

Sarah Boutin, Yoga and Pilates teacher
Having practised yoga for 13 years now, Sarah is interested in the movement of the body as a way of getting in touch with what's alive within us and as a tool for harmonising the mind. Her precise teaching makes it easy for beginners and advanced practitioners alike to learn. Her sophisticated sequences are like meditations, requiring concentration and anchoring the breath.
A graduate in visual and media arts with a co-supervision in creative writing (MA, UQAM), Sarah uses her artistic practice as a way of investigating the ways in which experiences of trauma, reconciliation and grief are inscribed in the body in the form of somatic memories. Interested in passing on what makes healing possible, teaching movement (yoga and pilates) is an extension of her quest to care.
She has more than 800 hours' training in hathayoga, vinyasa yoga and meditation with renowned teachers in Quebec and abroad.
She accompanies students in group classes and private practice. Her knowledge of ayurveda enables her to adapt the content of her classes to promote balance and support individual vitality.
Céline Trémeau, MUNZ FLOOR® certified coach
Originally from France, Céline Trémeau discovered modern dance at the age of 4, and jazz dance and ballet in her teens. She went on to train at the Rencontres Internationales de Danse Contemporaine de Paris (R.I.D.C) and obtained her State Diploma as a dance teacher from the French Ministry of Culture. Arriving in Canada in 2004, she taught in schools in the greater Montreal area, as well as in private dance schools. Over the years, she has developed an interest in movement and training for dancers that has led her to design floor barre classes suitable for everyone. It was in 2020, at the start of the pandemic, that she discovered the MUNZ FLOOR® method developed by Alexandre Munz, a former prima ballerina who had suffered back pain as a result of excessive training. She decided to learn more about this innovative training method, before becoming a certified MUNZ FLOOR® coach with MAISON MUNZ.
Since obtaining her certification, Céline has never stopped improving her skills. This gentle yet invigorating method is suitable for everyone. It frees you from muscular, joint and nervous tension, develops your tone and flexibility, and acts as a genuine fascia massage.
You'll feel a sense of well-being from the very first session.
