Desiree Vivanco-Ducharme, RMT, Doula

Desiree is a gentle and kind person. Her massage was very relaxing and and made me feel at ease!

I saw Desiree for prenatal and postpartum massages and highly recommend her. She specializes in perinatal work and her expertise and comfort in this field shows. She has a great set up for prenatal massage and managed to make me comfortable and relaxed even very late in my pregnancy. She is professional, conscientious, and provides great service when it comes to scheduling.

Desiree is a wonderful practitioner whose warmth and kindness puts you at ease as soon as you meet her. She is incredibly skilled and intuitive in her massage (finding and working through tension I couldn’t readily identify) and I always leave feeling relaxed and dreamy at the end of my hour. Her practice is a wonderful addition to the community and I can’t wait for my next massage!

Desiree is a very caring and kind person who is very passionate about her work. I was so lucky to have found her and work with her.

Desiree goes above and beyond to make you feel as comfortable as possible and tend to your every need. I don’t know what I would have done without her on the day I went into labour. Her magic hands soothed my labour pains and made it so much easier for me to cope. Her emotional support also made me feel safe and comfortable I didn’t worry about a thing. She stayed right up until she was sure that I was ok.

Desiree was also so thoughtful, none of us were prepared to take photos, because of her I have photos of my new born baby from the moment of his birth to the moment he was placed on my skin to my husband and I sharing in the joy and emotion of our baby boy.

Her thoughtfulness and caring didn’t stop there, she then did a follow up visit for baby and I brought me a gift of soothing herbal remedies for my postpartum pain.
Desiree will definitely be a part of my next birth I can’t imagine doing it without her.

For the mommy’s to be, having a doula was the best decision I made and if you’re lucky enough to have Desiree by your side she will make the experience all the more beautiful for you.

Thank you Desiree with all my heart! My husband and I are so grateful to have had you by our side during this most special time in our lives.

I booked a massage with Desiree in March 2017 because my low back was in pain and causing me to struggle at work. Her treatment was very effective and I felt a huge improvement immediately after. Over the next 24 hours I continued to feel better, and a full day of work on my feet the next day wasn't an issue. Desiree gave me some helpful exercises / tips for home and I appreciated the detailed explanation she provided. I also appreciated that they were manageable and easy!
Over the course of the next few days I had all but forgotten about my pain. I would highly recommend making an appointment with her.
