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.

I accept credit cards or debit cards for payment. To make things easier for you, I also offer direct billing with most health insurance plans.

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.

Yes, I offer mobile massage services for up to 2 people per appointment. For security purposes, I require a valid photo ID from each person receiving a massage. This policy helps ensure a safe experience for everyone involved.

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.
