Dolores has owned and operated Essence Therapeutics in the Beaches district of Toronto since 1981. Her dedication to healing and total well-being has lead her to continuously upgrade her knowledge of various modalities that promote physical, mental and emotional health. As well, her search for high quality, natural skin care has lead her to use the "Yon-Ka" product line. (natural ingredients and cruelty-free!) These treatments for the skin are also based on aroma therapy.

John completed rigorous academic and clinical training at the Sutherland-Chan School & Teaching Clinic before passing his board exams to become a Registered Massage Therapist. Presently, he is starting to study Osteopathy to gain a more in depth understanding of the body. He enjoys relaxation and rehabilitative massage, and has helped clients with problems ranging from stress and sports injuries, to chronic pain, pregnancy, headaches and back problems. He also has extensive experience with paralysis, Cerebral Palsy and Multiple Sclerosis. In his spare time, John enjoys an active lifestyle that includes scuba diving, skiing and white water kayaking.
