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

During your first visit, we'll discuss your treatment goals and health history, followed by an assessment. Conversations during follow-up visits are usually shorter. After your massage, we'll check in to discuss future goals, homecare recommendations, and answer any questions about the treatment.

I understand you may want to go straight to the massage, but these conversations are required by the CCHPBC and insurance companies to ensure quality care and public safety.

Brix Wellness is in the Royal Oak Shopping Plaza at #4480 West Saanich Road. Coming from the south, you'll pass Subway and Medical Labs—that's our building. Enter on the north side, across from Floyd's Diner (separate pink building), through the clear glass door labelled "Oakview Building" next to Travel Direct. Head up to the second floor and you'll find us in unit 207.

The Tall Tree James Bay location is a ground floor unit at #555 Superior Street. We're next to Good Earth Coffee, just across from the legislator building.

I understand that plans can change! You may cancel or reschedule your massage appointment free of charge as long as you give at least 24 hours' notice. Simply log into your online booking portal or give the clinic a call.

You can choose whatever position works best for you - whether that's lying on your back, on your front, or staying seated throughout the session. I'll provide plenty of pillows and bolsters to support your body properly. I want to make sure you're as comfortable as possible!

Feel free to bring any special pillows you might need too, like a BBL pillow or anything else that helps you feel more comfortable. We'll work together to find the setup that feels right for you during your recovery.

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.
