About Katrina

I have been a Registered Massage Therapist since 2018. I graduated from the Vancouver College of Massage therapy and enjoy working with patients with complex pain, chronic pain, migraine headaches, concussion symptoms, TMJ/Jaw pain and those who live with anxiety and other mental health concerns. I also have a Bachelor of Arts from SFU where I studied Psychology and Communications and was awarded with an academic entrance scholarship.

Outside of my massage therapy practice, I enjoy spending time with my dog and my horse. I am an avid equestrian and spend as much time in the saddle (and coaching others) as I can.

Why did Katrina join Alongside You?

I joined Alongside You so that I could become a part of a care team that encompassed everything I wanted to offer my patients: a beautiful space, a healthy culture and a place for wellness and healing of all kinds.

What would Katrina be doing if she did not pursue the career path she has right now?

If I was not an RMT I would likely be back at school studying and travelling.

How does Katrina relax when she is outside of work?

I enjoy taking my dog out for off-leash romps and my husband and I also enjoy camping in the backcountry.
