Rachel Barnetson, Registered Massage Therapist, Owner & Founder of The Remedy RMT
Rachel Barnetson, RMT
My name is Rachel, and I’ve recently moved my 10-year massage therapy practice to Castlegar, B.C. as of May 2025. My journey into massage therapy grew from a passion for science and living an active lifestyle. I'm dedicated to helping clients find balance in their lives by listening to their individual goals and needs. With a strong foundation in clinical science, I tailor each session to deliver effective, targeted care, while my creative approach brings a sense of relaxation and flow to my practice.
After graduating from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in 2015, I spent the following decade working with diverse clients from all walks of life. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or surgery, training for an Ironman, or simply looking to enhance your well-being, I'll meet you where you are and support you in reaching your unique goals.
On a deeper note...
When I'm not at work, I enjoy spending quality time with my Aussie shepherd Luna, indulging in my love for horses, and going for a leisurely run or a swim in the slow lane. I have a passion for learning languages and always appreciate a good TV series or fresh-baked treats. These small joys help me stay balanced and energized for my work with clients.
