*Rachelle does offer 75 minute and 90 minute treatments. If you are looking to book any of these treatment options, please email royalbaymassagetherapy@gmail.com to get assistance with booking.

Since graduating from the massage therapy program at the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in 2009, Rachelle has worked in a variety of spaces including physiotherapy clinics, chiropractic clinics, multi-disciplinary clinics, and spas. The diversity in work environments over the years, has offered her a range of experiences which in turn have allowed her to gain the knowledge and skills to adapt her treatments to the individual needs of each patient.

In practice, her primary focus is on individual treatment design, based on the personal needs and goals of the patient, whether they are seeking massage treatment for an acute injury, a chronic condition, injury prevention, functional movement, pain reduction, and/or general wellness.

Rachelle’s massage style can be described as deep and intuitive, while remaining within the context of relaxation. Her treatments incorporate general Swedish techniques, myofascial release, trigger point therapy, joint mobilizations, and passive stretching.

It is also her goal to educate and guide each patient on how they can maintain optimal function between treatments by offering them a healthy dose of self-care advice, and/or referring them to another professional, who may be able to supplement their treatment goals.

Outside of her practice, Rachelle is passionate about leading an active and healthy lifestyle, and can be found stretching out on her yoga mat, hiking the beautiful landscapes of the Pacific Northwest, cycling, and running. Her most recent interest is attempting to master the art of baking sourdough bread.

Over the past four years, Kianna has worked as both an RMT and med team with Crankworx Joyride athletes in Whistler, supporting elite mountain bikers through high-impact competition. She also spent two years working with international Rugby 7s teams—including contracted roles with Australia and Fiji—providing treatment during sport and recovery.

Jennie Is not able to accommodate new patients at this time. Jennie is a graduate of the West College of Massage Therapy here in Victoria BC, she completed the 3000-hour massage therapy program in 2010 and has been practicing in Victoria since. Jennie has worked at several different clinic environments, gaining experience and appreciation for alternative health care. Jennie demonstrates not only knowledge and passion for the human body but a true understanding of holistic health. She feels comfortable having in-scope discussions about exercise, and nutrition and recommends other professionals, when necessary. Jennie’s treatments are generally deep tissue but she also has a softer side to accommodate relaxation, prenatal/postnatal and infant massage. Jennie has found success in treating everything from scar tissue release, and chronic and acute injuries, to abdomen massage for constipation and IBS symptoms. Jennie has completed continuing education classes in pelvic floor dysfunction, orthopedic treatment of the shoulder and pelvic girdles, Yammuna ball rolling (using balls to release myofascial adhesions). In the future, she is hoping to continue her education in scar release with a focus on c-sections, mastectomy and problematic post-operative scar tissue. Jennie balances her life as a mom & clinic owner with Iyengar yoga, hiking, camping, fishing and gardening.
