About Me
Katica is a registered massage therapist with 3000 hours of training from the Advanced Clinical Massage Therapy program at Makami College. Started working in massage as a massage student, since December 2016.
Before being a massage therapist, Katica finished other schools in Europe: Veterinary Technician school, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine (was a DVM for number of years, and also was teaching practice and theoretical subjects in school for veterinary technicians) and Nursing College, but neither of these diplomas were accepted in Canada, so she studied again – first Health Care Aide program and worked as HCA (in nursing homes), then Massage Therapy College.
As massage therapist, she adjusts massage treatments to each client according to one’s conditions and needs by combining various techniques such as Swedish, deep tissue, myofascial release and dynamic cupping, various therapeutic massage techniques, lymphatic drainage, joint mobilization, pre- and post-pregnancy massage, stretching and strengthening. She helps clients with various injuries and conditions: MVA, injuries of different muscles in the neck, shoulders, back, glutes, arms, legs, feet; TMJ disorder, and many other issues.
She has a keen interest in learning new modalities and techniques to improve her knowledge and treatments for her clients.
In her private time, she enjoys many other activities, including walking in parks and hiking in mountains, volunteering at AARCS (animal shelter) and Calgary Zoo, cares for lots of her plants and her cat (animal, plant and nature lover), loves photography of nature, animals and plants, improving knowledge about multiple topics of interest etc.
