The approach
Treating the cause, not only where it hurts
Marla Yaworski works from a quiet studio in Sherwood Park, where each session is planned around your posture, your movement and the patterns your muscles have learned. Deep tissue, fascial and lymphatic work are used together — always at a pace the nervous system can follow.
“How could muscles affect us in such a way as to cause so many issues, and why did it take this work to understand it?”

Direct Billing
We direct bill
I offer direct billing to many insurance plans; see my Direct Billing page for the full list of eligible companies.
If you have been in a motor vehicle accident, have a doctor, physiotherapist, or chiropractor assess your injury (e.g., WAD I, II, or III). This diagnosis determines the number of treatments covered through direct billing.
Some plans require a physician’s prescription before treatment claims can be submitted. If required, you must obtain it before I can direct bill. Confirm with your insurer or plan manual.
Receipts are issued after each paid treatment for submission to your insurer. If you do not have insurance, consult your accountant regarding income-tax eligibility.
Cancellation Policy
I value your time and ask that you respect mine. Your appointment is reserved exclusively for you.
24 hour notice is required when cancelling an appointment.
If 24 hours' notice is not given or you missed your appointment, you will be charged the scheduled treatn as listed above.
If you arrive late, you will receive only the remaining scheduled time but will be billed for the full treatment.
