Welcome to SVNCTUM

a wellness & healing studio for the queer individual

Holistic and Elevated Registered Massage Therapy For Toronto’s 2SLGBTQ+ Community

Dan Villasin, RMT

Owner and Founder

Hello! My name is Dan (he/him). I’m a gay Registered Massage Therapist with over five years of experience.

With SVNCTUM, I sought to create a safe space for the queer community to receive inclusive care and achieve all their wellness goals.

I particularly enjoy working with office workers suffering from chronic tension due to stress and postural dysfunction as well as athletes suffering from pain caused by injuries from doing the sport they love.

I’ve made it my life’s work and mission to heal the 2SLGBTQ+ community, one treatment at a time and I look forward to welcoming you into my studio :)

Inclusive care.

All-inclusive treatments.

  • Wooden chair with rolled white towels on top and folded towels on the seat

    Hot Towel Service

    Begin and end each treatment with hot towels to wipe all the tension away.

  • Amber dropper bottle on wooden stand with leaf shadows on background.

    Aromatherapy

    Ease into relaxation with your choice of essential oils. Choose different scents with each treatment depending on your mood.

  • Halved coconuts with husk and white flesh on light background.

    Heated Massage Oil

    Inviting warmth and relaxation from the very first drop of nourishing coconut oil.

  • Person receiving a back massage with hands pressing on the lower back.

    All Techniques

    Unlike other places, you don’t get charged more for deep tissue and specific work. Every tool is available to get you moving better again.

  • Spa room with a massage table, dim lighting, wall art, and air conditioner.

    Extra Wide Massage Table

    So you can rest easy and truly sink into wellness.

  • Black smart speaker on a wooden table against a light wall.

    Personalized Music

    Choose from a variety of curated playlists at the beginning of each treatment. From lo-fi beats, nature sounds, to jazz — I’ve got you covered.

  • Glass pitcher filled with water on a table with sunlight, two empty glasses beside it, blurred outdoor background.

    Water and Tea

    Stay hydrated with complimentary water and a selection of tea.

  • Close-up of curly wool texture in gray and brown shades.

    Heated Wool Padding

    For ultimate cloud-like comfort on the table. Drift away into wellness.

  • A laptop, a smartphone with a marble case, and a wireless charger with a green marble design on a wooden table.

    Wireless Charging Station

    For all your electronic devices so they leave recharged too.
