What is YEG Wellness?
YEG Wellness is a community-driven platform that connects people to local wellness experiences in and around Edmonton. We spotlight events, facilitators, and spaces that inspire connection, balance, and growth — making it easier to discover what’s happening in the city’s wellness scene.
Built with good intentions and a love for community, YEG Wellness is all about bringing people together, supporting small businesses, and helping our city feel well, together.
Meet Our Team
Karling
Founder & Curator
Karling is a community-builder and digital marketer with a passion for storytelling and wellness. Through YEG Wellness, she combines her marketing background and love for meaningful connection to help people discover local experiences that support their well-being.
After years of leading yoga classes and retreats, she realized how many independent facilitators were quietly offering beautiful experiences that were hard to find. That spark became YEG Wellness—a way to merge her love of marketing and wellness while creating opportunities that support and celebrate the local community.
Now in a phase of traveling the world, Karling finds balance between life abroad and her Edmonton roots, nurturing YEG Wellness alongside her passionate local team. Her favourite ways to unwind include restorative yoga, Yoga Nidra, sound baths, and time in nature.
Hilary
Community Host
Hilary Janes is a yoga and fitness instructor, Thai yoga massage practitioner, and small business owner based in Edmonton, Alberta. She’s passionate about all things art, movement, and mindfulness — and brings that energy into everything she does.
As part of the YEG Wellness team, Hilary is on the ground hosting community events and connecting with local facilitators and attendees alike. She has a natural ability to make people feel welcome, grounded, and inspired — creating spaces where authentic connection can flourish.
Outside of her work in the wellness community, Hilary loves spending time outdoors, catching live music, and discovering new local spots. You can connect with her on Instagram at @zendenyeg and @indiepopdesigns.
Tomás
Website Manager
Tomás brings a technical and strategic edge to YEG Wellness, managing the website and events calendar while supporting the platform’s growth behind the scenes. With a strong background in SEO and digital marketing, he helps local wellness businesses get discovered online through his work outside of YEG Wellness.
A longtime supporter of YEG Wellness, Tomás has been part of the project since its early days, helping shape it into a trusted online hub for Edmonton’s wellness community. He’s detail-oriented, creative, and passionate about making the digital side of wellness more accessible and connected.
Outside of work, you’ll often find him enjoying live music, playing pickleball or volleyball, exploring new restaurants, or spending time outdoors. For his own wellness, he’s a fan of sauna and cold therapy, and loves trying out new wellness experiences around the city.
YEG Wellness Volunteers
YEG Wellness is powered by community — and our volunteers make it all possible. From energy exchanges to creative collaborations, they help us capture and share the local wellness scene.
Through our energy exchange program, volunteers get to enjoy wellness experiences and document them through photo or video. We turn their content into Reels that promote local businesses and highlight what our community has to offer.
We also offer volunteer marketing roles for those looking to build their portfolio and gain experience in content creation or digital marketing.
