Kylee Painter

Kylee grew up in the Okanagan and has an Associate of Arts degree from Okanagan College and is two courses shy of her Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in psychology from UBC Okanagan campus. After taking some time away from her studies in 2015 to help a family member heal from a traumatic past on Vancouver Island, Kylee had a baby girl in November of 2017. When her daughter was two, Kylee moved back to her place of birth, the lower mainland, and started thinking about possible career choices for the future to support her family. This is when an idea from her teens came to the forefront: massage therapy. When Kylee was 14 her mother suffered a severe spinal injury which resulted in two surgeries. After this, massage was one of the only things to help with the pain so Kylee learned early on how effective and therapeutic massage can be. Nothing can compare to the feeling of helping another person on their healing journey. After careful consideration, Kylee applied for the massage therapy program at WCCMT New Westminster campus and started school during the spring term in May 2021. Kylee graduated from WCCMT in December 2022. Kylee enjoys spending time with her family, which includes; her 5-year-old daughter, mother, brother, and two kitties. In whatever spare time she has left she enjoys spending time with friends, reading fantasy novels such as Robert Jordans’ Wheel of Time series, and playing Nintendo Switch games. Kylee also enjoys marathoning shows (often the same ones repeatedly) on Netflix whenever she can find the time. Kylee is enthusiastic about eating cake and other baked goods but attempts to balance this with at-home work outs when she can. Kylee is passionate about her studies and looks forward to completing the last couple courses of her bachelor degree now that she has finished her massage therapy program. Kylee is eager to start a fulfilling and exciting career helping patients reach their healing goals and attain their optimal physical health and happiness.
