History
After graduating Magna Cum Laude from Barnard College and the Swedish Institute, Yvonne received her massage license and embarked on her career. After 8 years in the profession she found herself increasingly dissatisfied with the quality of care offered by Western and Alternative medicine alike. Clients consistently expressed surprise and gratitude at Yvonne's commitment to creatively addressing their complaints, as this was not their experience with other health professionals. Through attentive listening, comprehensive experience, and compassionate touch, Yvonne works with her clients in a dynamic process to identify the root of pain rather than the symptoms. While sessions seek to reduce discomfort and improve mobility, clients are also educated when possible about anatomy so that they might feel more able to manage the symptoms when they inevitably resurface. In this way clients reclaim agency over their own bodies and begin to truly heal.
