Catherine Richard – Registered Massage Therapist

At Ocean Breeze Health & Wellness Centre, we favour an integrative healthcare system, which recognizes both the excellence and advancements of 21st century medicine whilst allowing and supporting individuals with the opportunity to seek alternative options where conventional therapies cannot help. This is only truly achievable when health-care practitioners of all modalities can respect and interact with each other for the greater good of the patient.

 

Catherine Richard – BSc Kin, RMT
Catherine Richard, who also has a Kinesiology degree from the Université de Moncton, has been practicing massage therapy since 2009. She graduated with honours from ICT Northumberland College, Halifax where she currently works as a part-time Instructor in Pathophysiology and Anatomy. Her approach is a firm yet gentle application of sustained pressure where restriction and pressure are felt, patiently working with the body’s innate abilities to heal.

Having suffered from back pain from a young age, and never finding relief from conventional therapies, Catherine realized what could yield much more effective and powerful results: The warmth and energy of hands guiding your tissues to the natural and balanced state they are seeking.

Finding inspiration in the philosophy of body-mind connection and awareness, Catherine has furthered her studies and specialized in myofascial release. She believes that guiding and educating her clients are an essential combination in reaching optimal health.
