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

Mobile massage pricing depends on your location and the length of your session. For specific rates and additional details, please check the pricing section of my website.

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

The frequency of MLD massages varies depending on your specific condition, the severity of your symptoms, and the purpose of your treatment – whether it's for therapeutic benefit or overall wellness. For a more detailed answer to this question, please refer to my article "How Often Should I Get a Lymphatic Massage?"

Proprioceptors are sensors in your muscles, tendons, and joints that act like your body's internal GPS. They constantly tell your brain where your body is positioned and how it's moving.

Key types:

• Muscle spindles - detect stretch
• Golgi tendon organs - monitor tension
• Joint receptors - track movement

These work together to help you move smoothly, maintain balance, and prevent injury by sensing when muscles are overstretched or using too much force.

Not at all - the choice is entirely yours. Some clients prefer silence, while others enjoy light conversation. I’ll follow your lead throughout the session. Before we begin, we'll discuss your preferences and any specific goals you have for your massage to ensure you get exactly what you need. My priority is creating a comfortable, judgment-free environment where you can truly unwind.
