About Kate:

**Until the end of February 2025, Kate has a short-term employment contract with Paper Crane Massage Therapy. **

For your appointment, please bring clean, comfy and thin material clothing such as T-shirts and pants to wear during the treatment. (Examples are joggers, sweat pants, drawstring pants, yoga pants, short/long t-shirts, tank tops, shorts, etc.) Heating pads, table warmer and blankets are used during treatment.

Patients that do not bring thin material, comfortable clothing will be provided with sheets and blankets to cover.

Kate is passionate about providing high quality, effective, and goal-oriented massage therapy treatments. She has been a RMT since 2017.

A lot of her massage treatments include asking her clients to perform easy, basic movements during the massage and assessment. She typically incorporates stretching into the treatment, and uses minimal oil. Kate encourages her clients to enjoy the quiet treatment room, allowing for a more focused treatment without conversation.

60 min and 90 min appointments are available. After initial 60 min appointment, 90 min appointments can be requested for future sessions. Please let Kate know if you are interested in longer times.

Before she was a RMT, Kate was doing seasonal tourism work in Canada, Australia and New Zealand. She enjoys taking dance classes, listening to music, hiking, paddle boarding, camping, travel and creative projects like sewing, painting, and sculpture.

About Matt:

Matt (he/him) has been involved in athletics, coaching, and health throughout his entire life. He grew up playing team sports like soccer and rugby, later pursuing mountain biking and rock climbing in his teens and early twenties. Matt has spent the last decade competing in powerlifting at a provincial level and coaching world record holders, professional athletes, and people who just want to move better, feel better, and be pain free.

Matt combines his years of coaching experience with his clinical knowledge as a massage therapist to tailor his approach to the specific needs and goals of his patients. He uses a combination of traditional Swedish massage, orthopaedic techniques, joint mobilizations, and pain management through patient education in stretching and exercise.

Your session with Matt will be focused on your goals, whether they are just to relax from a long day of work or if they are more specific and related to performance or a recent injury. Aside from the massage you may be guided through some simple stretching, exercise, or self massage that will allow you to manage your symptoms between appointments and empower you to better care for yourself in the future.
