Katherine has worked for over 25 years as a registered massage therapist. She provides tailored support for specific and complex health challenges, including shoulder and neck issues, whiplash, achilles and patellar tendon rupture, hip and knee replacements, pre and post surgical treatment for mastectomy, spinal fusion, C-section including surgical scar management, and post-concussion syndrome—to name a few. In most cases, she uses a combination of Swedish massage and myofascial release techniques, adjusting all the time to what feels right for the client.

Katherine draws on years of experience and technical training to bring the body back. She has taken many continuing education courses, primarily in myofascial release and cranial sacral / visceral learning from Natale Rao and Heather Gittens. For her athletic clients, Katherine’s background in competitive Olympic-style weightlifting lends itself to understanding the demands and joys of an active and/or high-performance lifestyle.

Katherine is both owner and practitioner at Klinik in Vancouver, with a varied and loyal clientele to whom she is forever grateful.

She is now growing a new client community at The Lab in Nelson. Katherine moved to Nelson in June 2023—a return to her roots. She was born in Trail, lived her earliest years in Montrose and Castlegar, and then spent the next 50 years growing up, working, and raising her kids around the province before returning to the Kootenays. In her time off, you will find Katherine on the rail trail with her husband and their two crazy Bernedoodles, volunteering at her daughter’s school, skiing at Whitewater, and training downstairs at The Lab. She travels back to Vancouver regularly to connect with Vancouver clients and the Klinik team.

Graduated from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in 1995.

Rob is a registered massage therapist well versed in musculoskeletal and systemic conditions. He brings a special interest in treating neck pain, back pain, and tension headaches, and in using therapeutic massage techniques to reduce stress and anxiety.

His goal is to personalize care based on patients’ individual needs to assist them in achieving optimal health and function. Rob understands the importance of treating each client as a whole person, and he enjoys the challenge of uncovering the root of dysfunction or pain, rather than simply treating symptomatically.

Rob’s approach includes a focus on releasing soft tissue restrictions for greater tissue mobility and flexibility. To do so, he uses a combination of relaxation techniques, joint mobilizations and firm pressure tissue massage, fascial work, muscle energy technique, and passive and active movement—reducing pain, increasing function, and enhancing overall well-being.

Graduated from the Vancouver College of Massage Therapy in 2015.

BIO // Hilary is a certified Anat Baniel Method℠ (ABM) practitioner, with Anat Baniel Method℠ mastery certificates for working with children with special needs, high performers, as well as clients interested in vitality and anti-aging.

Hilary is also the mother of a high school student who lives and thrives with a dual diagnosis of cerebral palsy and autism spectrum disorder. After years of following traditional therapies that produced more frustration for him than meaningful change, she brought him to an Anat Baniel Method℠ practitioner and noticed immediate improvement.

The Anat Baniel Method℠ was not only life-changing for him, but also for her. This gentle movement instruction allowed Hilary to overcome six years of chronic back pain. Her son—contrary to the expectations of the local gait lab—learned to walk at age eight. He began regulating his emotional responses, increased his social interactions, and dramatically improved his performance at school. Now an Anat Baniel Method℠ practitioner herself, Hilary lives her passion of supporting others in realizing their potential, even in the face of enormous challenge and trauma.

Certified by The Anat Baniel Method Center, San Rafael, California. (General Practitioner Certificate April 2013, Children with Special Needs Certificate April 2014, Vitality and Anti-Aging Certificate September 2014, High Performers Certificate July 2015.)
