Re3 Massage and Wellness
RMT, YTT 200hr & Yin Yoga Teacher
From an early age, I felt an undeniable calling towards healing, specifically in the field of massage therapy. However, for many years, I sought guidance from the wrong sources when contemplating this significant shift and it wasn't until I had a conversation with a passionate Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) that my trajectory took a transformative turn.
Understanding the vital role of the Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS) in healing, I recognize the importance of creating a space that facilitates a PNS state. This allows the body to relax and engage in the 'rest and digest' mode, which is unattainable in a state of fight or flight. Each session begins by establishing a sense of safety, ensuring that you are in control at all times. You have the autonomy to modify your treatment as needed, and open communication about anything that enhances your comfort in the space is encouraged. Consent is an integral and consistent aspect of the treatment process whether its your first treatment with me, or tenth.
In addressing pain within your specific limitations, I employ techniques that work harmoniously with your nervous system. This approach allows for effective treatment while respecting your body's natural pain tolerance, preventing any increased discomfort from overly intense techniques in the days following.
In December of 2020, I received a diagnosis of RRMS, a neurodegenerative disease affecting the central nervous system. This revelation prompted a deep dive into understanding and safeguarding my own nervous system, instilling in me a profound respect for the well-being of others.
Excitement fuels my commitment to collaborating with you in achieving your therapeutic goals, whether through fascial work, trigger point relief, or simply providing a secure space for you to unwind and sleep during your treatment, should that be what your body requires.
My deep love for massage is undeniable, yet I am conscious of the limitations my body faces with MS. Recognizing the need to expand my skills beyond massage to ensure both my professional fulfillment and the safety of my body, I embarked on a journey to explore additional modalities to add to my repertoire. Since September 2023, I have been dedicatedly pursuing my Acupuncture Accreditation at Grant MacEwan University, with an expected graduation in the Class of 2026. This commitment reflects my unwavering passion for the field and my determination to adapt and thrive despite the challenges posed by my health condition.

Excellent atmosphere. Extremely professional masseuse. Very courteous. Very knowledgeable. Highly recommended.
My first session with Colette was refreshing - She made me feel welcome, and empowered to advocate for what I needed. Her consent-based approach based on pain tolerance, mindfulness and breathwork was unlike any other RMT session I have attended previously - In a great way! She is extremely knowledgeable and uses her skills to provide an holistic, functional assessment focused on recovery. I can’t wait to be back!
Incredibly thorough and thoughtful therapist. I felt very safe and well taken care of seeing Collette. Very good at adjusting pressure and redirecting if needed. Great massage!
Exceptional experience with Kollette. Her skilled touch and personalized approach left me feeling completely rejuvenated. The atmosphere was soothing, and Kollette expertly addressed my areas of tension. Highly recommended for a truly refreshing massage experience!
Collette was amazing, I really appreciate the full assesment she gave at the beginning to see where I needed work done. I also appreciate that she made sure I wasn't in pain while working on my shoulders and now a few days after I'm not sore or in any pain like I have been in the past. I can already feel a huge difference just after one appointment and I'm excited to see how much better I will feel after more appointments. She is gentle, patient and just amazing all around. Thank you so much Collette !
Kollette is an attentive, caring and mindful practitioner. I received my first professional massage from her at a time when I didn’t even know I needed it. She helped to relieve stress and took the time to explain some areas that carried loads of tension. I would recommend her skills and services to anyone!
Finally, a massage therapist that takes the time to conduct a full body assessment so that she can tailor her treatment to your specific needs. I always leave feeling great! Kollette is a top-notch massage therapist and has created a great, clean space for you to escape and relax. Highly recommended!!
Loved my massage. Collette surprised me with how thorough she is and how she constantly readjusted pressure to ensure my muscles were getting what they needed! Also I’m all about peoples vibes if they touch me and Collette has a fantastic aura about her. Calm, kind and very knowledgeable.
Such a fantastic experience with Collette! She is so attentive to every detail and makes an effort to cater the treatment to your needs. I've gotten many massages in the past and Collettes assessment and skill is top knotch! I highly reccomend!
I became a client of collette's when she was still a student and I will follow her wherever she practices. She is intuitive, professional, friendly and personable. Her skills continue to evolve and I enjoy th benefits every time I receive a treatment from her. I highly recommend her services.
Such a nice relaxing setting!! The area is so perfect and a convenient one stop shop! The massage is well… always AMAZING with Collette ? Thank you so much
Wow. That describes the process Collette takes when performing her assessment of the concerns I had, and figuring out the road map to recovery. I have had some lingering foot / ankle issues from a sports injury; as well as a newer concern. I can say that after just the initial treatment, the next two mornings were already seeing an improvement. I can guarantee I will return as I have now found someone who listens to my concerns, and knows what to do to achieve the results I'm looking for. We have a ways to go to get me back to tip top shape, but Collette is the person to do that! 10/10 will recommend anyone to her in the future! Thanks!
Collete is awesome! She's very attentive and she assures you that the massage is always under your control; she's extremely respectful and always checking in. Consent is very important to me and I really appreciated how well she handled the treatment. I also really liked her space and the massage table is super comfortable! I'm definitely going to be a returning client.
