About 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.
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 many years of promoting her own wellness offerings, she saw a need for a digital bulletin board where the community could easily find events hosted by independent facilitators — and from that vision, YEG Wellness was born. She’s been working in digital marketing for years and decided to blend her two passions — wellness and marketing — into one platform that uplifts the local community. Karling is passionate about helping small businesses grow and often offers many opportunities through YEG Wellness for free, driven by good intentions and a desire to give back.
She also loves curating experiences for people — with a special touch for creating spaces where others can relax, connect, and feel inspired. Originally from Sherwood Park, she’s been growing a local community through her yoga classes and retreats since 2016, helping people slow down, connect, and come home to themselves.
Now in a phase of traveling the world, she finds balance between life abroad and her Edmonton roots. No matter where she is, YEG Wellness remains a project she can nurture and grow alongside a passionate local team.
Her wellness favourites include restorative yoga, Yoga Nidra, sound baths, spa experiences, time in nature, and group circles — anything that invites rest, reflection, and genuine connection.
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.
