Viveda in Ottawa

Sebastian is hands down one of the best RMTs I've ever received services from. He is incredibly knowledgeable/skilled, welcoming, kind, and dedicated to providing competent and trauma informed care. In my first consultation, I was experiencing physical discomfort sitting in the chair for the full time we were talking and asked if I could sit on the floor. He immediately asked if he could grab me a pillow or blanket to sit on and then joined me on the floor as well. It may sound insignificant, but as a fellow clinician who is hyper aware of power dynamics in the room, this simple gesture of joining me on the floor spoke volumes to his attunement and attention to client comfort. Having his clinic space set up in his home also provides a joyful and welcoming experience most clinics cannot offer - the front gardens and artwork throughout the house brings me so much joy and peace when I go for a treatment. It feels like I can truly relax and forget the busyness of my day-to-day life, even if just for a moment. Not only does he provide exceptional care during treatment, he goes the extra mile between treatments to check in on progress and provide guidance if needed. I experienced high levels of pain following a treatment and when I texted him to ask if it was normal or if I should do anything specific to help ease the pain he took time out of his day to call me, ask a bunch of follow up questions to better understand what I was feeling in my body, and then gave me an action plan for the next few days. He then followed up AGAIN after a couple days to ensure I wasn't experiencing any further issues. I've never had a clinician do this before and it greatly increased my trust in him as a professional. As a neurodivergent person who has a hard time articulating my needs and advocating for myself, he has always taken the time to fully explain his recommendations, ensure I understand what he is suggesting, check in on my comfort, and actively seeks my feedback before, during, and after treatment. He is the living embodiment of collaborative care and it's clear to see he truly cares about creating a safe, positive experience for clients. I cannot recommend a RMT more highly!! If you want to feel cared for, respected, and receive top tier services, Sebastian is your go to!

I have been fortunate enough to receive treatments from Seb for many years now. I find him to be great at listening to what I need, and delivering that with great enthusiasm and care. I also love that he works out of his home, which feels way more inviting than a typical clinic feels. I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone looking for an excellent treatment, combined with nurturing hands.

I have been seeing Sebastian for Ayurvedic treatments for over 10 years and can highly recommend his healing touch and the professionalism of his services. I also recommend many of my clients to him and they always return with rave reviews and deep appreciation for his work. Thank you Seb !
