Ruby founded Union when she was fresh out of grad school and with a 9 month old baby on her hip. 10 years later, she is no longer wearing all the hats thanks to a terrific team (see below!) but continues to steer the ship.   Connect with her to share ideas and offer feedback, or drop in to one of her Wednesday evening meditation classes. 

Ruby is a Registered Occupational Therapist, Psychotherapist, and Mindfulness Teacher with a specific interest in Buddhist Meditation in the Theravada Tradition.  Recently, she's enjoyed her time in a 2-year Community Dharma Leader Mentorship program offered by True North Insight and Spirit Rock Meditation Center's LEAP program.

We are delighted to welcome Melanie to the Management team. Working cooperatively with everyone within the Union Team and our entire community, you are sure to enjoy the energy and clarity of vision Melanie brings to Union. 

Connect with her to rent our space or bring yoga to your workplace!

Melanie brings a wealth of experience in community building.

Help us give her a warm welcome when you meet Melanie in-studio!

Leia works remotely from the West Coast, and is happiest solving puzzles, ensuring you have a wonderful experience, and helping tailor the perfect pass to meet your needs.  As someone who identifies as queer & disabled, Leia's lived experience has informed a supportive, compassionate individualized-care approach to Union's community and members since early 2017. 

Helping others feel heard & valued is Leia's love-language.  So ask those fussy questions about billings, customized class options as your body changes, or your contract.  Have a brilliant idea or feedback?  Please share!

You'll find Kamille handling some of our busiest shifts with a welcoming smile.  She is a natural seeker of knowledge, and can help you find the answer to any questions about your account.  She will make your Saturday morning as smooth as butter.  Kamille's love for Union's community is reflected in the meticulous care and attention she devotes to our customers and our space alike.

Kamille may look familiar, as she also works at Glad Day Bookshop, or from events related to her studies to become an American Sign Language Interpreter for the Deaf community.

Janeva is our easy-going ray of sunshine.  She self-identifies as a queer artist, and creates a soft and warm place for folks to land when they arrive at Union.  You immediately feel the care she puts into her work, which she divides between Union and her career as multi-media artist weaving in themes of breathwork, nature, thought, and an on-going exploration of gender & sexuality.

Nicole is masterful at taking great care of our clients, and continually upgrading our space.  Her skills in staging and visual merchandising, as well as team-integration are just outstanding.  

Always going above and beyond, should you have a question or require support, Nicole will listen deeply to your needs and then connect you to all the resources you require.  So happy this dauntless wonder is part of our team!

Sarah Hillock is the newest member of our team!  Please extend a warm welcome to make her feel at home and appreciated.

When she isn't at Union either enjoying class or helping you at the desk, Sarah is world-class professional figurative oil painter found by galleries & collections across Canada and abroad.  Take a peek!
