TESTIMONIALS
I have been seeing Kristen for RMT treatments for about three years. She does an excellent job of treating my intermittent lower back, neck, and shoulder pain. Kristen is very attentive, professional, and skilled at adapting treatments according to whatever issue I’m dealing with. She is also warm, friendly, and has a great sense of humour. I highly recommend her as a RMT.

I am an older man with a history of chronic neck and shoulder problems. Kristen has been my massage therapist for several years. In that time, she has gradually been able to loosen joints, tissues and tight knots which have aided exercise programs, as well as sleep and overall flexibility.
Kristen has a deep understanding of how the body works as well as the assessment skills (including an uncanny intuition) to pinpoint the source of aches and pains. Her sensitive touch and rhythmic flow are healing on a physical, emotional and spiritual level. At the end of a session, I feel both my musculature and nervous system are incredibly calm and relaxed.
I have had many massage therapists and Kristen is exceptional. She is a warm, caring and delightful person who is always completely present and involved. I give Kristen the highest possible recommendation.

Kristen was great. She was very attentive and communicative right from the start of the session. She regularly checked on the level of pressure, but was bang on every time already. She was quick to adapt as we noticed new things going on in my body during the massage and re-focused where needed. Great experience overall!
