Our Services

  • Kinesiology is the science of human movement. A session in kinesiology will often include an assessment, a bit of education and personalized exercise programming.

  • Fascial Stretch Therapy is a pain-free assisted stretching system that focuses on joint capsule and fascial release to achieve a more optimal range of motion, decrease pain, improve blood flow to restricted areas, restore function, posture and improve performance. This technique can benefit anyone from the general population to the athlete.

  • A naturotherapist uses alternative, natural and holistic methodologies to help treat the body (and mind) by promoting the body’s own capacity of healing. We do so using a wide variety of manual therapies (e.g soft tissue release, myofascial release and stretching) coupled with exercise and changes in your daily habits and lifestyle.

A bit more about Ylan

Hi and welcome! My name is Ylan and I am a registered kinesiologist, fascial stretch therapist and naturotherapist… and future acupuncturist! Yes, I wear many hats but this aligns with my holistic approach towards health which entails a balance between strength, stability and mobility and understanding the human in its context. With more than 10 years experience in the health and fitness industry, I have worked with multiple types of bodies, all with different goals, ranging from rehabilitation, pain management to improving strength. My unwavering curiosity has led me to pursue multiple certifications during my career and now into the acupuncture program at Collège Rosemont in Montréal.

What people have to say about Ylan

  • “I highly recommend Ylan to anyone looking for training that is serious, challenging and effective”

    As a considerate trainer, cheerful at all times, Ylan planned a rigorous set of training sessions that enabled be to properly prepare for my open water dive. Her training is always thoughtful and well planned. She develops progressive training routines that continually challenge my limits and ensures that I remain engaged in the training process. And, with her extensive knowledge and university training, she is able to explain why you are doing the specific training and the reasons why the posture and form is so important. The training has continued since returning from the holiday and I continue to enjoy her progressively difficult sessions. Always vigilant on your form, she is also encouraging and brings to each session a sense of humour, a sense of challenge and a cheery disposition, I highly recommend Ylan to anyone looking for training that is serious, challenging and effective.

  • “Strength training has amazing benefit. Glad I finally listened to you.”

    A month ago I had so much neck pain stiffness I could barely move mt arm and it was affecting my ability to work. 1-month of training with the wonderful Ylan and I have minimal pain, have full range of motion and feel great! Strength training has amazing benefit. Glad I finally listened to you.

  • "Empowering, confidence building"

    Training with you this past year has not only helped me manage my knee pain (and the whole host of other issues I have like scoliosis and ROM issues) but has also helped enhance my mental health. You are an incredibly knowledgeable kinesiologist and motivating and dedicated personal trainer but more than that you’re an empowering, confidence building, caring, hella strong, awesome playlist-curating, dancing rockstar!

  • "Release deep muscle tension that was embedded for years"

    I had an excellent experience! I have a structural scoliosis and it is the first time that a therapist was able to help me release deep muscle tension that was embedded for years in both my thoracic and lumbar regions. Ylan was also a stretch coach, super down to earth and a gem, she took the time to explain the process of FST in great detail with me seeing that I am also in a similar field of practice. The benefits felt post session was convincing enough for me to make me want to get certified myself. I felt stronger and more supple when I trained that same week too which was a fantastic feeling. I have spoken about it with my friends and some have tried it and equally enjoyed their experiences. I will continue to recommend!
