I highly recommend Yvonne!!! I was referred to her after a workout injury and Yvonne was so knowledgeable and caring ! I have always felt like I\u2019m in good hands with her and now I call her at the first sign of pain to prevent further damage! I have and will continue to recommend her to friends and family !<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

I just underwent a major surgery and I honestly don't think I could've recovered from my surgery without Yvonne, both mentally and physically. She is extremely gifted at her profession as well as an amazing human being. She's educated at her craft, thoughtful, considerate, and listens so that she meets your exact needs and helps you throughout your journey of recovery. I can't give her enough praise. She's a professional healer that expands her craft consistently so she can help as many people as possible. I couldn't recommend her enough!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Happy<\/strong> <\/span>Clients<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Alexandra del C.<\/h4>

I love that Yvonne is so knowledgeable about the anatomy and communicates exactly which part of the muscle system is receiving the most care during the massage. Yvonne listens to what area after surgery is causing the most swelling, which she quickly identifies. Her lymphatic massage brings relief and healing. Working with Yvonne has made my healing journey so much better!! Since getting massages from her, I am more informed on what I have to do to facilitate the healing process. I highly recommend her healing hands, knowledge, and passion for what she does! Yvonne is a wonderful person!! \u2764\ufe0f - Alexandra<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

About
Yvonne Martin<\/em><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Yvonne has a passion for health and wellness. She began her journey over twenty years ago as a CHEK nutrition and lifestyle coach, personal trainer, and fitness instructor where she taught Bodypump, Pilates, and sculpt classes at Elite Fitness spa in Carlsbad Ca. Her mission was to train and inspire clients to meet their lifestyle, nutrition, and fitness goals. <\/p>\n

As her family needed her more at home, Yvonne made a choice to take a break from training and teaching to devote her time to her family including her two young daughters and stepson. Meanwhile, she continued to further her education and studied different types of bodywork modalities and functional nutrition. <\/p>\n

As her children grew older, Yvonne began working with Tamara Renee Wellness formerly known as Bodylab as a massage therapist, body sculptor, post op lymphatic therapy therapist, and personalized DNA Diet and Fitness coach. Yvonne\u2019s mission was always the same \u201cTo empower, educate, and motivate clients to achieve optimal health and wellness through practical nutrition, lifestyle coaching, and bodywork modalities. <\/p>\n

Working with all different types of clients over the years, Yvonne realized the importance of the lymphatic system for oncology and post- surgery clients. She now is trained as a Lymphedema therapist and works with a variety of medical conditions. She also knows the importance of keeping detox pathways open and how critical the lymphatic system is to maintain optimal wellness and healing. <\/p>\n

Yvonne understands the obstacles of stress and what an over scheduled life can do to wellness, vitality, and fitness goals as she has faced many of these obstacles herself. As a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practioner she believes running diagnostic tests is imperative to overcome Metabolic Chaos and getting to the root of obstacles by supporting all systems of the body. She offers massage and lymphatic drainage therapy that support and help with the healing of these systems <\/p>\n

Yvonne chose the name Kokua because it means help and community. Everything she has learned over the past twenty years she wants to share and inspire her clients and community with. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
