Nathali Arostegui

Registered Massage Therapist

Thank you for taking some time to read about me and for choosing to take care of yourself in the best way you can during these difficult times.

I come from a lineage of massage therapists, and medicine weavers, jump-starting my path into healing from a very young age. As an immigrant woman of colour and as a mother, I understand and experience the complexities of collective and individual intergenerational trauma as they live in the body as well as the resilience and wholeness that exists within the ecosystems of our lives.

Having experienced "trauma", "chronic pain" "addiction" and "mental illness", I believe in the power of somatic awareness through an animist de-colonial lens. The wisdom of holistic healing through re-connecting with all beings, human and non-human alike is the resilience that is found within the shadows as well as the creativity birthed from this wisdom of wholeness.

In my practice I treat bodies as a network of fluid interconnectedness and I strive to co-create courageous spaces and personalized treatment plans with each individual. I hope to share my experiences of resilience and wholeness with all who are committed to walk this path with me.

I've been practicing as an RMT since graduating from Sutherland Chan in Toronto, Ontario in 2011 but began my initiations as a holistic medicine weaver long before. I've been trained in swedish, pre & post natal massage, myofascial release, joint mobilizations and compassionate inquiry but my wisdom and passion come from the lands I stand on; the beings I'm in relationship with are the medicine I carry. I believe reconnecting body, mind, and spirit through intuitive therapeutic relationship allows openings for truth to emerge and therefore allowing all bodies to embrace their wholeness.

My work lives at the intersections of mindfulness, addiction, mental health, indigenous wisdom, somatic animist awareness, intergenerational trauma, decolonization and anti-oppression. I feel truly blessed to be supporting clients in reclaiming their wholeness, through the wisdom that flows in and around me. My intention is to walk with others as they discover the wisdom and power that flows through them.
