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

In-clinic massages cost less because you come to an established location where everything is already set up.

Mobile massage pricing reflects the extra services involved in bringing the experience to you - including travel time, setup and breakdown, transportation costs, parking, and providing all equipment like massage tables, fresh linens, and laundry services.

The price difference reflects the enhanced convenience and personalized service of having a professional massage therapist come directly to your location instead of visiting a clinic.

Absolutely. Everyone relaxes differently. If chatting helps you unwind, feel free to talk throughout the session, or just at the beginning to get comfortable. If you prefer quiet time to zone out in silence, that's perfectly fine too!

Your mood might change from visit to visit; sometimes you'll want conversation, other times peaceful silence. Just do whatever feels right for you at the moment. There's no wrong way to relax.

Mobile massage sessions are available in 60, 75, or 90-minute durations. You can find current pricing for each session length on my Rates page.

A seroma is a pocket of fluid that can build up under your skin after surgery or an injury. It usually shows up within days or weeks as a soft, painless swelling that you can feel or see beneath the skin. Seromas are common after surgeries that remove significant amounts of tissue or lymph nodes, like breast procedures or lymph node removal.

While lymphatic massage, taping, and compression can help manage seromas, you may need your surgeon to drain it with a needle.

I don't provide bandaging for lymphedema or compression garment fittings, but my colleague Jenna La Fleche at Right Fit Clinic provides measurement and garment fitting services. Off-the-shelf compression garments may be an option if you are looking for a little support.
