Karen Docksteader, RMT
Registered Massage Therapy Vancouver
Hi, Karen here. My journey as an RMT, Registered Massage Therapist in Vancouver, spans over two decades: I originally graduated from the Westcoast College of Massage Therapy in December, 1996. But prior to sitting my board exams, I suffered some personal tragedies that left me completely blind. As a result, I had to learn to live again. Bodywork helped me do this. After coming to terms with my blindness and doing some upgrading, I successfully passed the formal RMT board exams in 2016.
I love what I do. One of the things I love most about massage therapy is helping my patients achieve their health goals by bringing them back to normal function.
Having worked as a body worker for close to 30 years, I have developed a broad tool kit in physical medicine. The various modalities I use work together to help me restore normal function for my patients.
I incorporate the following modalities into my practice:
- Cranial Sacral Therapy
- Swedish massage
- Neuro-meningeal manipulation
- Somato-emotional release
- Fascial release therapy
- Trigger point therapy
- and many many more!
I look forward to working you and supporting your body to be forever well.
~ Karen
