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

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.

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.

I suggest waiting 14 days after Botox and 28 days after dermal filler before booking a face massage therapy with intra-oral component. Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is safe any time after injectables.

It depends on how much tension you're carrying and what your body needs. If you've been stressed or anxious lately, your muscles might be holding more tension than you realize.

Some mild soreness can be normal, especially if your muscles were really tight to begin with. This is actually a good sign - it means the massage is helping to release built-up stress and knots. Any soreness should fade within a day or two, leaving you feeling better.

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?".
