Hire Catherine
Hello! I am currently happily practicing at Golden Collective in Golden, BC. If you’d like to discuss a particularly interesting opportunity at your clinic, feel free to get in touch.
About Catherine
As an experienced RMT with over 15 years of practice, I am committed to delivering personalized care to all of my clients, whether they are seeking pain relief, stress reduction, or relaxation.
Education
My training began in 2007 when I completed the 3000-hour RMT program at the Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy in Vernon, BC. I am proud to be a member of the College of Complementary Health Professionals of British Columbia (CCHPBC) and have experience practising in both therapeutic and spa settings.
My hands-on experience, combined with my in-depth understanding of anatomy, physiology, pathology, orthopedic testing and assessment, and therapeutic exercise, enables me to provide a higher level of care that can enhance the overall wellness and quality of life of my clients.
Modalities
I offer a range of treatments to my clients, including Swedish massage, neuromuscular therapy, connective tissue manipulation, stretching, and hydrotherapy, and have also completed continued education courses in specialized techniques such as Vodder’s Lymphatic Drainage, Sculptural Face Lifting Massage Technique, Joana Medrado Method, and Wood Therapy.
I have a special interest in wellness lymphatic drainage and post-op mastectomy care, and have additional training in post-op massage for liposuction and cosmetic surgery.
Personality
Balance is key in my life, weaving together work, family, and moments of play. When I'm not busy in my massage therapy practice, you'll often find me salsa dancing, savoring quiet moments with a good book, or exploring the trails.
My journey has taken me from my hometown of Stirling, Ontario, to the breathtaking landscapes of British Columbia, where I've found a deep connection and appreciation for the way of life here. Travel has been my greatest discovery, leading me to teach English in Thailand, work as an RMT in Australia, and explore corners of the globe. It's in these unpredictable moments that I've grown the most, discovering the beauty and complexity of the world and people around me.
I've developed strong skills in communication, care, comfort, and compassion, fuelled by my enthusiasm for the work I do. Every experience, whether at home or abroad, has shaped me into a dedicated and motivated therapist.
