Putting your health first isn’t always an easy task, but it’s the first step in creating your own optimal state of wellbeing. Katie enjoys being that person who helps guide individuals in a positive direction, physically and mentally, to make a change for the better. Katie understands that taking the time to learn and understand an individual’s personal needs is essential for creating an effective massage treatment plan. She utilizes relaxation techniques to help decrease the physical and mental effects that stress can have on the body, while integrating other massage techniques to help decrease pain and discomfort in areas that take the brunt from the day-to-day lifestyle. We tend to underestimate how much pressure the human body is under in order to function appropriately for the task at hand. Whether you are an office worker or a stay-at-home parent, Katie takes pride using manual therapy techniques to help increase patients’ quality of well being. Educating her patients about the origin of their physical discomfort, and providing supportive home care tips, helps provide a long term solution. Katie graduated from Vancouver Career College and completed board exams in 2020. She particularly enjoys treating maternity patients, Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) dysfunctions, and postural dysfunctions. Katie grew up in the Sunshine Coast, and has been living in Vancouver for over five years. She enjoys experiencing Vancouver’s multiculturalism, loves trying new foods, exploring new places, hiking, trail walking, or simply relaxing at the beach. Katie looks forward to meeting new people, and hopes to see you in the clinic soon.
