Hello! I’m Catherine, an experi­enced RMT based in Victoria, BC.

You have control over your comfort level during your massage. You may undress to whatever degree feels best for you - some clients prefer to keep underwear on, while others choose to undress completely. A sheet will always be provided to ensure your privacy and warmth throughout the session.

I accept credit cards or debit cards for payment. To make things easier for you, I also offer direct billing with most health insurance plans.

If you've had a lymphatic massage before, I'll ask whether it involved lotion or was oil-free. Since MLD techniques vary globally, this helps me tailor your treatment to your preferences and familiarity.

My primary approach is Vodder's MLD - widely considered the gold standard. This gentle, systematic technique uses oil-free skin-stretching and rhythmic pumping motions to stimulate lymphatic vessels.

I occasionally offer the Joana Medrado Method, which includes lotion for a more flowing type of stroke combined with lymph node pumping.

As well as maderotherapy, which isn’t lymphatic massage. This method uses wooden tools to warm and soften congested tissues like cellulite, tight fascia, and areas of fibrosis or water retention. It primarily focuses on body contouring and tissue mobilization. The tools manipulate and soften tissues into a gel-state, enabling the lymphatic system to drain these areas.

Yes, this treatment is do-able if you have facial hair. However, the focus will be on other parts of your face and neck.

For the most effective treatment, I recommend arriving with a clean-shaven face or neatly-trimmed beard. While facial hair doesn't prevent you from receiving a massage, shorter hair allows better access to your facial muscles and tissues, especially around the jawline and for any intraoral work, which are key components of the therapeutic session.

Yes. After booking your first appointment, you'll receive health intake and insurance forms via email. Simply complete and submit them online.
