After becoming a Licensed Massage Therapist in the U.S., Kaoru realized a deep desire to enhance her clinical knowledge and skills in massage therapy. She completed the 3,000-hour program at the Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy in 2009.
Kaoru remains fascinated by the profound impact that even a light and gentle touch can have on health and wellness across all age groups. She views each individual holistically, addressing areas that need attention and aiming to restore homeostasis—a balanced state for the entire body on all levels—rather than merely focusing on localized pain or other symptoms. Her primary techniques include Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) and Myofascial Release Therapy. If you prefer deep tissue massages or have an active ICBC claim, please book with another RMT at the clinic.
A lifelong learner, Kaoru is passionate about both acquiring and sharing knowledge. She continually updates her expertise through professional courses, and actively assists in BCST training.
Outside of work, Kaoru enjoys travelling, baking, fermenting, and playing the piano.

Hot stones massage is used to help with muscle release on affected areas. During the treatment, smooth, flat, and heated stones are used on targeted areas to help with damaged soft tissues along with improving blood circulations; therefore, it is not a full body treatment. Combined with manual massage techniques it can also help with reducing stress and anxiety.
