Hello, my name is Elvina D’Souza, and I am a kinesiologist and fascial stretch therapist.
Who is Elvina?

The Beginning.
As a young girl I wanted to be an athlete but was always told I was too skinny and awkward. It took a few licensed professionals and coaches who helped empower me through movement and healthy habits to gain the confidence to play sports. Fast forward to present day, now I play sports at a competitive level. From there I developed a passion for exercise science and pursued Kinesiology at McMaster University. As a registered Kinesiologist I now empower others to go for their goals despite any self-doubt.

The Journey.
After graduating from the Kinesiology program with honours at McMaster University, Elvina went into personal training. During her time as a trainer she knew there was another component that her craft was missing in order to provide a complete experience for clients. From there Elvina decided to pursue fascial stretch therapy- a very underrated manual treatment that helps fix movement dysfunctions and hydrate connective tissue.

The Mission.
Everyone should feel the freedom to pursue human movement. Elvina feels the tissues to create individualized movement plans that combine strength and stretch, in order for clients to reach their capabilities and overcome years of unsolved injuries and chronic pain in order to get you back to feeling like yourself.
