For summer 2026, I will not be able to accept new clients. Please book in with either of our other talented RMTs - Chelsea or Taylor.

If you need to get in touch with me directly, please use alisonrichmondrmt@gmail.com or 604-905-8028.

Ali is a BC-trained RMT having received her diploma in Registered Massage Therapy and certificate in Subtle Manual Therapies at Langara College in 2017.

She moved to qathet 5 years ago with her husband after dreaming about it for years with fond memories of sea kayaking and hiking trips in the area, visiting family in Okeover and hearing inspiring stories about the community.

Prior to moving to qathet, Ali worked at one of the top multi-disciplinary clinics in Whistler, gaining experience with professional athletes, post-surgical rehabilitation and concussion management.

Ali has a keen interest in working with scar tissue and enjoys seeing improvement with patients seeking massage for hip, foot, rib or neck pain or mobility issues. Ali has completed further education in working with the viscera, fascia and joints of the female pelvis and the conditions, natural changes and surgeries that can affect it. She also completed additional training in working with clients who have had breast and chest surgeries.

Ali’s choice of modalities depends on the client’s goals and presentation. She mostly uses deep myofascial release, Swedish massage, neuromuscular therapy, and joint mobilization.

Ali is a hiker, sea kayaker, skier, biker, coffee-with-a-book-and-wine-with-a-friend enthusiast and amateur birder.

She recently became the Mama of three incredible children! And, like that, a whole new adventure begins.

For summer 2026, I will not be able to accept new clients. Please book in with either of our othe... Read More
