RACHEL BARNETSON, RMT
REGISTERED MASSAGE THERAPY IN CASTLEGAR & SOUTH SLOCAN, B.C.
Personalized massage therapy to support recovery, ease discomfort, and promote a more settled state in the body.
Treatments
Each session is designed to create a calm, therapeutic environment that supports relaxation, helps you reconnect with your body, and encourages overall balance and well-being. Care is tailored to your needs in the moment, with a collaborative approach that respects your comfort, preferences, and goals.
​
Your appointment time includes a detailed health history intake (as required by CCHPBC standards), hands-on treatment, and any recommended homecare. Direct billing is available for most major insurers.
Swedish Massage
A tailored treatment focused on relieving muscle tension, reducing stress, improving muscle function, and addressing concerns related to injuries, training, and overall well-being.
The Remedy RMT Facial
A blend of therapeutic massage, luxurious skincare, and deep relaxation. This treatment targets the face and neck's musculoskeletal, circulatory, and lymphatic systems—promoting deep relaxation and parasympathetic nervous system activation.
Post Surgical Breast & Chest Care
These treatments are for those who have undergone any type of breast or chest surgery — covering elective or cosmetic surgeries, gender-affirming top surgeries, and breast cancer surgeries with integrative cancer care.
Perinatal & Post Cesarean RMT Care
Perinatal massage supports your changing body through pregnancy and after birth, while post-cesarean treatment gently addresses scar tissue, tension, and discomfort to aid recovery and improve mobility. Each session is adapted to your needs, helping you reconnect with your body during this transition.
Meet your RMT, Rachel.
Born and raised in Vancouver, B.C., Rachel relocated her massage therapy practice to the West Kootenays in May 2025, bringing over 10 years of experience. She offers thoughtful, individualized treatment for a range of concerns, including general tension, stress, and movement-related discomfort.
​
Rachel has additional training in post-surgical breast, chest, and oncology-informed massage, as well as post-cesarean recovery. Her sessions prioritize comfort, safety, and adaptability, and can be integrated alongside medical treatments when appropriate. She also offers RMT facial massage for clients seeking focused work on the face, neck, and scalp.
​
Note: Rachel’s approach is intentional and slow-paced. While pressure is always tailored to the individual, she may not be the best fit for those seeking a more traditional deep-tissue style.
