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

I offer the following treatments for my mobile massage service:

• Lymphatic Massage
• Relaxation Massage
• Therapeutic Massage
• Post-Op Massage

Yes, manual lymphatic drainage can provide supportive relief for some menopause symptoms by improving circulation and reducing inflammation.

MLD may help with:

• Fluid retention and bloating - gently reduces water retention and abdominal puffiness
• Poor circulation - improves blood flow, reducing cold hands/feet and promoting warmth
• Sleep quality - promotes deep relaxation and stress reduction for better rest
• Muscle tension and joint stiffness - eases aches and improves mobility
• Stress and anxiety - activates the body's relaxation response, calming the nervous system
• Skin changes - supports healthy circulation for improved skin tone and texture

No, post-op lymphatic massage massage isn't required, but it can be a supportive addition. Your body's lymphatic system works every day and will heal you all on its own - that's its job.

Post-op massage can help you throughout the stages of healing, ensuring that your lymphatic system operates optimally by encouraging lymphatic vessel contraction. Immediately after surgery, your first goal may be to help reduce swelling, pain, stress and bruising. As you progress, I can help with fascial restrictions, managing fibrosis, and forming a nice flat scar - I’ll aid however I can.

Swelling duration varies for everyone and depends on several factors including the type of surgery you had, your age, overall health, and if you are following your surgeon's recovery instructions.

Most people experience swelling for about 2 to 8 weeks after surgery. However, if you've had liposuction, swelling can last anywhere from a few months up to a year as your body fully heals.

I recommend arriving 5-10 minutes before your scheduled time. This gives you a moment to get settled and use the restroom if needed.

• Brix Wellness Victoria: The receptionist will be available to welcome you during regular office hours.
• Right Fit Clinic: There's no front desk staff. If no one is available when you arrive, please have a seat and I’ll be with you shortly. For weekend appointments, I’ll meet you on the main floor to escort you to the third-floor clinic, as elevator access requires a key. Evening appointments (7PM) on weekdays also include main floor pickup.
