All about me!
Hi beautiful! My name is Katrina Pimentel. I also go by Kat.
I’m so excited to meet you!
A little back story..
I am the youngest & only girl of three kids. I was always into sports growing up, having been a competitive figure skater for 16 years, along with playing highschool rugby & volleyball. My favourite subjects in school were Biology & Exercise Science so when it came time to decide what career path I wanted to choose, I knew without a doubt it needed to involve Human Anatomy & Physiology. After searching different schools & programs, I fell upon the Massage Therapy program at Algonquin College. After reading the course description, I applied for the program that night. Three years of classes & practicums & time spent in a cadaver lab later, I graduated with Honors & started working my dream job.
I have now been an RMT for three years & I still feel just as strongly that this is exactly what I am meant to be doing. Throughout my years as a Massage Therapist, I have grown a deep passion for all things Lymphatics along with realizing how much I love treating peoples faces & scalps (it’s always been one of my favourite things to get treated on myself). This has led me to do a deep dive in all things Lymphatic Drainage, creating sequences that are both effective & very relaxing. I am in love with this profession for all the opportunities to grow & learn & I am so excited to be a positive impact within your wellness journey.
