I am a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) with over 10 years of experience in downtown Vancouver, the tri-cities, and Fraser Valley, British Columbia, where I now work out of a clinic that I co-own in Abbotsford called AND WELLNESS. My practice is focused in perinatal and uterine pelvic health, with an emphasis on prenatal massage therapy. I have had the honour of providing labour and birth support to my pregnant clients since 2021, and utilize that knowledge and experience in my massage therapy practice as well as teaching workshops and courses to other healthcare practitioners who share the same passion for perinatal care and birth. I value evidence-based care and often find myself taking more continued education courses than required by my regulatory college. Learn more about me here.
What is RMT?
In British Columbia, Massage Therapy is a regulated healthcare profession in which practitioners undergo between 2200 and 3000 hours of experience at an accredited institute before successfully completing 3 competency-based written and practical board exams. Massage therapy students have a medical-based education consisting of more than solely massage techniques but also anatomy, biology, chemistry, neurology, pharmacology, pathology, orthopaedics, and more.
The practice of massage therapy is the assessment of soft tissue and joints of the body and the treatment and prevention of dysfunction, injury, pain and physical disorders by manual and physical methods to develop, maintain, rehabilitate or augment physical function to relieve pain and promote health. Registered Massage Therapists, or RMTs, are trained in general Swedish massage, myofascial techniques, joint mobilizations, therapeutic exercise, and hydrotherapy with many more options available with the profession's mandatory continuing education standards.
