Get to Know Us
Eden Health and Wellness is the project of Yvonne Petkau. Yvonne graduated at the top of her class from the 2200-hour program at Vicars School of Massage Therapy. As the only massage school in Alberta with Canadian Massage Therapy Council Accreditation, this means that Vicars places a high emphasis on their students achieving a full understanding of the science of massage, including a thorough study of anatomy, and in depth knowledge of an extensive variety of problems. This suited Yvonne well, as she has her bachelors in education, and was a science teacher before becoming a massage therapist. Yvonne has also pursued other roles that similarly combine science with care, as she has worked as a birth doula, and is a certified yoga instructor, including pre and post natal yoga.
​
Yvonne is also an athlete, being involved in a number of sports including soccer, obstacle racing, triathlon, and lifting weights. Being active in these ways further helps her understanding of the human body, and allows her to relate her own experiences to the many athletes she treats.
​
Eden Health and Wellness is committed to providing top quality, educated massage. Planning and thought goes into each massage, so that the goals for each treatment can be reached. As well, we care for each of our clients and love building relationships that keep people coming back again and again!
