AVT Rent & Collective Fees

Instead of operating as a top-down corporate clinic or spa where therapists work as traditional employees, we function as an organized network of autonomous professionals.

1. Independent Financial Processing: When you book an appointment, the clinic’s software securely holds a credit card to reserve your time slot. However, each therapist processes and accepts their own individual payments directly after your treatment. Your transaction is handled directly with your specific practitioner rather than a centralized front desk.

2. Autonomous Modalities and Specializations: While all the practitioners are Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs) offering core anatomical bodywork, they maintain separate individual practices under the collective umbrella. This structure gives them the freedom to craft distinct treatments. For example:The founder, Angela Da Silva, heavily blends structural therapy with biofeedback, and clinical hypnosis. Other collective team members focus independently on distinct practices like acupuncture.

3. Co-working Space Setup: The physical setup reflects this collaborative business model. The collective functions out of a shared, multi-room space within The Village Healing Centre. Therapists pay rent and collective administration fees to utilize the infrastructure, room space, and online A Vital Touch Booking System, while remaining entirely self-employed business owners.
