Carla Doyle, RMT

Carla works with a wide range of individuals - from active folks managing persistent aches, to those navigating chronic pain or seeking regular wellness support. Whether someone arrives feeling stiff, sore, stressed, or just a little worn down by life, her goal is always the same: to help them leave feeling grounded, renewed, and ready to take on whatever comes next. Her treatments are deeply personalized, meeting each client exactly where they are that day - offering grounding when things feel chaotic, uplift when spirits are low, and nurturing care when reconnection is needed.

Carla's treatment style is focused and therapeutic, with an emphasis on working alongside the nervous system to support lasting change. Each session is tailored through ongoing assessment, with depth and techniques adjusted based on her clinical observations and client feedback. Her treatments incorporate myofascial release, trigger point therapy, muscle energy techniques, hot stones, and IASTM (instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization), blended to suit each body's unique needs. She believes that effective treatment is built on both therapeutic intent and mutual trust - balancing productive discomfort with nervous system regulation to harmonize the body's response. Her goal is to work collaboratively with clients to help them return to or maintain the lifestyle they love, whether that includes weekend getaways, quality time with family, a pain-free workday, or curling up with a good book.

Carla is originally from North Delta, where she graduated from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy (WCCMT) at the New Westminster campus in December 2020. During her time in the program, she gained valuable experience working with pre- and post-natal clients, individuals with spinal cord injuries, and a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. She's excited to help clients take meaningful steps in their rehabilitation and wellness journey.

As an avid hiker and athlete, Carla understands the physical demands and discomfort clients may face on a day-to-day or adventure-to-adventure basis. She brings a strong passion for learning to her practice and is always ready for a spontaneous backpacking trip. When not out exploring, she can be found reading, sewing, gardening, or diving into new research to expand her clinical knowledge. She also values strong rapport-building and creates a space where clients feel at ease - whether that means chatting, resting, or a bit of both. While she can offer relaxation-focused sessions when needed, her work is primarily orthopaedic and goal-oriented, guided by her clients' needs and lifestyles.
