vision

Nest’s vision is to provide a thriving wellness community where individuals feel supported to explore their full potential of personal well-being.

A beautiful evolution of a vision many years in the making, a seed was planted in Buenos Aires in 2010 and has bloomed with the opening of Nest Yoga + Massage Therapy in Toronto’s Bloor West Village in 2018. Nest brings together the benefits of massage therapy, yoga therapy, and mindful movement offering a whole-body approach to healing and wellness.

 

Karen Steele, founder and visionary of Nest Yoga + Massage, and her team of talented and passionate therapists, teachers and practitioners are committed to sharing their love of movement and vitality. Together they offer a wide range of healing arts including massage therapy, yoga therapy, many different styles of yoga, and reiki.

 

We look forward to travelling your wellness journey with you!

I had a wonderful experience at your location today! Everyone was extremely welcoming and professional. It was my first time having a massage and though it was very painful at times (but in a good way), it made me feel so much better. Rebecca was wonderful and gave me advice as to how to help my extremely stiff muscles.

I decided to book an initial reiki treatment with Michele on a whim thinking it would be an interesting experience. I’d had some exposure to reiki in the past, but wasn’t entirely sure it was for me. Now, four sessions in, I can say that I am a true believer and intend to continue these sessions as a regular part of my self-care routine. As a practitioner, Michele’s calm and skilful work has allowed me to completely let go and achieve a deep restoration each time. I am grateful to Michele and would highly recommend her Reiki practice!

The instructors are great, they offer lots of alternative positions if some don't work for your body. They're mindful of breathing, and focusing energy on the body.

Dr. Michael Cohen

I offer sessions named SoulField Healing with Dr. Mike ;). Over the course of the past 25 years, I’ve worked intimately with thousands of people in my private practice, helping individuals navigate the ups and downs of their healing journeys. I’ve worked with babies still in the womb, as well as those ready to transition, and everyone in between. For those of you familiar with it, my work is known as Network Spinal, or NSA. I wish to bring this work to those who are called. For those of you on your soul’s path, I offer you an opportunity to discover, transform, awaken, and expand.
