About Catherine
Whether you’re looking for pain relief, stress reduction, or relaxation, I’m here to provide personalized care that’s tailored to your unique needs. Let’s work together to help you feel your best!
Hi, I’m Catherine Walton, a dedicated Registered Massage Therapist with 15+ years of experience. As a therapist I’m committed to helping my clients achieve their wellness goals.
My training began in 2007 when I completed the 3000 hour RMT program at the Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy in Vernon, British Columbia. Today, I’m a proud member of the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CMTO) and have a background practising in both therapeutic and spa settings.
I offer a range of treatments to my clients. My hands-on training includes Swedish massage, neuromuscular therapy, connective tissue manipulation, stretching, and hydrotherapy, plus continued education courses including:
- Vodder’s Lymphatic Drainage
- Sculptural Face Lifting Massage Technique
- Joana Medrado Method
- Wood Therapy
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about myself and my massage therapy practice. You can learn more about me below!
Through my education, I've gained an in-depth understanding of anatomy, physiology, pathology, orthopedic testing and assessment, and therapeutic exercise. By incorporating these skills into my massage therapy practice, I'm able to provide a higher level of care that can enhance the overall wellness and quality of life of my clients.
