Kate studied a BSc.in Kinesiology at the U of Victoria, then went onto attend the Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy graduating as an RMT in 1997. After working for 8 years in a physiotherapy clinic, she trained in Stott Pilates and subsequently opened a Pilates and Massage Therapy Center. Kate also graduated as an Integral Master Coach™ and collaborated with psychotherapists and councilors in Vancouver. The different tangents and life experiences in the health and wellness field have been rewarding and have enabled her to bring an integrative approach to her patients over the last 25+ years of being an RMT. Some of Kate’s passions are working with postural/biomechanical imbalances, especially related to the workplace and sports. Her practice overseas for the last couple of years involved mobile massage therapy to a private golf course for tournaments, golf specific pre/post sports massage and exercise prescription. Kate has plentiful experience and interest in addressing myofascial pain syndrome, cervical spine dysfunctions such as whiplash and tension headaches, TMJ disorder, sports injuries, and post op rehab. She refers to evidence-based reviews to guide relevant treatment and incorporates aspects of Trigger Point therapy, deep tissue massage, sports massage, myo-fascial release, and exercise prescription. A love of nature, culture, art, music, cycling, golf, and travel have taken Kate and her husband in many directions around the globe. Kate is delighted to be here in the South Okanagan and looking forward to being part of the community and an integral part of your health team.
