Welcome! If it’s your first time here, please take a moment to read below to see if my treatment approach and clinic space align with your needs. As this is a home clinic, I request that you email hello@rockroot.ca prior to booking your first appointment (or include a note in your booking to confirm that you’ve read through my website). Note that I’m gradually returning from maternity leave and may require flexibility as we navigate our everchanging routines.

Treatments follow an osteopathically informed approach; my goal is to restore mobility and functionality at all levels by addressing the body as a whole. I’m a problem solver who chases causes, not symptoms. Treatment includes detailed health history conversations, thorough assessments, and non-invasive techniques that complement your unique framework. I do not use oils or lotions. Click here to learn more about my therapeutic style and clinic space. If you are specifically looking for deep tissue or Swedish relaxation massage, I recommend trying another RMT.

I aim to offer long-term relief. While every body is different, I typically recommend 3 sessions spaced 2-3 weeks apart to start. After that, we usually transition into maintenance mode (4-6 weeks or as needed). Gaps between sessions prevent overtreatment and enable us to see how your body adapts.

Payments can be made through direct billing to most providers, e-transfer, or cash. Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours prior to your appointment. This provides time to fill your vacancy or modify my existing schedule. If you cancel within 24 hours or “no show” for your appointment more than once, you will be charged 100% of your treatment fee. Charges may also be applied to those who repeatedly cancel within 48 hours of treatment, at the discretion of the therapist.

If you are feeling unwell or at risk, please cancel your appointment. Thank you for your cooperation in creating a safe space.

Hi! I’m Kristen - RMT and fourth year manual osteopathy student. I’m a facilitator of feeling and catalyst for change. I love solving puzzles. Chronic pain with no explanation? Symptoms that feel deeper than biomechanics alone? I’m your gal.

I grew up playing ice hockey competitively. Yoga and manual therapy helped me offset the physical demands of sport. After losing my title as “varsity athlete,” these practices became vehicles for internal observation and helped me rediscover my sense of self. I pursued yoga teacher training and certified with Yoga Alliance in 2015. While teachiing, I discovered my calling to connect through touch. I graduated from Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy and became a registrant (RMT) with the College of Massage Therapists of British Columbia in 2020. I’m currently pursuing my manual osteopathy diploma with the Sutherland-Chan School of Osteopathy.

My philosophy is to inhabit reality with elevated curiosity. I crave movement and prioritize play. I feel most at home on mountaintops. I need stillness to recharge. My greatest vice is a jar of peanut butter. I’m a word nerd. I’m a lifelong learner and unlearner. I relish 1:1 conversations - the deep ones that feel like therapy sessions. I’m mother to two boys and a pup who remind me to seek joy and practice patience daily. We also love collecting rocks.
