ABOUT THE RMT

Katie is an Honours Graduate of Georgian College’s Massage Therapy Program and is registered with the CMTO. She is fluent in French and English and trained in Kinesio Taping, Cupping, Gua Sha, and Indie Head Massage. She is also a Certified Concussion Practitioner (CAT A).

 

 Katie grew up outside of Newmarket, Ontario where she discovered her love of horses and has been part of the horse industry for 14 years. She is also an Equine Canada Licensed Coach.

 

During her studies at Georgian College, she gained both theoretical and hands-on learning opportunities at the public massage clinic at the college and through outreach programs. Katie has experience treating clients in long-term care and retirement homes, cancer palliative, and complex care clients including but not limited to: fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, disc herniations/bulges, carpal tunnel, Raynaud’s, and post-surgical clients including joint replacements.

 

Katie learned how to assess, treat and provide home care while maintaining a safe, educational and therapeutic environment. She provided her clients with clarity on their treatment plans and allowed them to be part of the process of their recovery. She found that this method not only has had a great effect on her client’s treatments but also got them back to their daily activities quicker as well as reaching their goals with an accelerated recovery rate.

 

In the public clinic, Katie improved her knowledge by researching new topics every week. This contributed to improving her overall assessment and treatment. She is driven to learn more about concussion management, chronic pain management, Cranio Sacral therapy, and exercise to support the relief of pain. 

 

Katie loves working out of  Alliance Wellness Centre - Stone Town Chiropractic. She fell in love with St. Mary’s at first sight and has enjoyed meeting and connecting with all of her clients.
