Gabriela Villa

Relaxation Massage Specialist/Lymphatic Massage Specialist/ RMT Graduate 2024

massage therapist

Meet our new team member, Gabriela Villa Paredes. She is a  RMT graduate and certified in European Manual Lymphatic Massage. Since she was little Gabriela has been raised in the spa world, where her passion for health and wellness began.

Gabriela's passion for health and wellness grew when she began to work as a vegan cook in 2021 as she learned the importance of nutrition. She became a certified specialist in Lymphatic Drainage in 2023 after her mother received an emergency surgery which required lymphatic massage on the daily to just help her to live a normal life.

Gabriela is certified in Relaxation Massage in 2023 and trained by her mother Ivette Paredes to provide more holistic modalities. She graduate in December 2024 as a RMT top of her class. She is currently waiting under way to become registered to accept insurance and she loves helping clients with pain relief and share her knowledge for a better quality of life.

 

Gabriela does NOT offer any reiki healing or sound therapy!

About Casa OM Wellness

Established in May 2025, Casa OM Wellness was founded as a natural evolution from the award-winning Glow by Ive. After closing Glow by Ive, we opened Casa OM with a renewed focus on health, holistic healing, and total well-being.

Inspired by the tranquil beauty of Tulum, the ocean, and sacred healing traditions, Casa OM Wellness is more than just a spa—it is a wellness sanctuary. Here, advanced skin treatments are thoughtfully combined with energy healing and holistic bodywork to support balance, transformation, and results.

Meet Ive – Founder & Lead Practitioner

With over 17 years of experience in the aesthetics and wellness industry, I am a:

  • Master Medical Aesthetician

  • Certified Holistic Massage Specialist

  • Reiki Practitioner & Wellness Coach

Throughout my career, I have treated more than 25,600 clients, including high-profile individuals and beauty editors across Canada. I specialize in targeted treatments for:

  • Acne and acne scarring

  • Rosacea and hyperpigmentation (sun damage)

  • Anti-aging and skin rejuvenation

My approach is rooted in precision, care, and results. Many of my clients see noticeable improvements after just one session, thanks to personalized skincare protocols and a deep understanding of skin health.

 

Professional Excellence & Recognition

I have proudly represented Canada at international aesthetic conferences and have been trained by some of the world’s leading skincare professionals, bringing red carpet–level expertise to my clients.

During my tenure at The Old Mill Inn and Spa, I held the position of Top Aesthetician for nearly a decade, trusted to deliver five-star treatments to Canada’s top beauty experts and magazine editors.

At Glow by Ive, my work was recognized with 15 Community Choice Awards, including:

  • Platinum Winner – Etobicoke Community Awards (2023 & 2024)

  • Gold – Medical Aesthetician

  • Gold – Beauty & Health Spa

  • Platinum – Skincare Boutique

A Unique Holistic Approach to Wellness

As a lifelong student of healing, I have studied Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, Reiki, sound therapy, and emotional energy healing. These modalities are thoughtfully integrated into our services, offering clients a truly unique and restorative experience.

At Casa OM Wellness, treatments are designed to:

  • Rejuvenate the skin using advanced skincare technology

  • Relieve tension and chronic pain through holistic massage

  • Support emotional healing with energy work and breathwork

  • Promote deep relaxation with aromatherapy, sound, and mindfulness practices

Our Philosophy

Casa OM Wellness was created in response to a gap I observed in the industry: the disconnect between clinical results, spiritual wellness, and genuine care.

Here, you don’t have to choose between results and relaxation—you receive both. Our intention is to create a space where skin, body, and soul are all nurtured, and where you leave feeling restored, empowered, and radiant.

I look forward to pamper you!

Only Ivette offers sound healing and Reiki healing sessions.
