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

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.

The treatment is 60 minutes, and includes the face, neck, and scalp, with lymphatic and intra-oral components. If you prefer to skip the intra-oral massage, that's perfectly fine.

This is meant to be a restful, self-indulging treatment so that you can bliss out - we don't want to rush this experience! If you'd like to include additional areas like your back or shoulders, this treatment is adaptable or you can always book a longer session.

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.

After a massage, you might notice a temporary increase in inflammation in your body. Don't worry, it's part of the healing process! To learn more on this topic, please see my article "Wait, Why Does Massage Increase Inflammation?".
