Our Space.
Welcome to our office at 304 - 92 Lonsdale Avenue, North Vancouver.
​​
A designated heritage building and former bank, 92 Lonsdale is home to the first electric passenger elevator on the North Shore (some claim the first in the lower mainland!).
​
We hope you enjoy our grounded, healing space as much as we do.
Woof.
Sasha is our resident office pup. Although she is an Australian Shepherd, she prefers to stay on dry land and herd treats instead of sheep. She loves getting pets- but be warned, she will ask for more once you start!
​
When she isn't "supervising" she can be found exploring local trails in North Vancouver or sunbathing on a patio.
