Kae is a Registered Massage Therapist who graduated from the Royal Canadian College of Massage Therapy. Before moving to Toronto, she spent over 10 years practicing as a physiotherapist in Japan, working in hospital and home-care settings across the full spectrum of care—from hyper-acute rehabilitation to long-term and community-based treatment.
Through this work, Kae gained extensive clinical experience supporting people with a wide range of conditions, including orthopaedic injuries, pre- and post-operative recovery, cardiovascular and respiratory conditions, stroke, neuromuscular disorders, cancer care, and complex medical presentations. This background strongly informs her thoughtful, safety-focused approach as an RMT.
Kae’s massage therapy treatments blend therapeutic and relaxation-based techniques, always tailored to the individual. Depending on a client’s needs and goals, her work may include focused therapeutic massage, jaw/TMJ-informed treatment, and cupping therapy when clinically appropriate and discussed in advance. Her aim is to reduce pain, restore movement, and support both physical and emotional well-being in a way that feels collaborative and grounded.
A lifelong learner with a strong curiosity for the human body, Kae is continually expanding her clinical skills and knowledge. She also holds a Ph.D. in Health Sciences, which adds depth to her clinical reasoning and a strong evidence-informed foundation to her care.
Kae looks forward to working with you to support your health, recovery, and long-term well-being.
What is registered massage therapy?
Registered massage therapy, a regulated health profession in Ontario, is generally taught in the method of Swedish massage. Swedish technique involves long, smooth strokes, kneading, and other movements intent on causing relaxation of the muscles. This is accomplished by improving circulation to the muscles via the treatment, thereby improving oxygen and nutrient supply to the tissues. While registered massage therapy (RMT) helps treat injuries, illness and stress, it is also excellent for helping prevent illness and conditions before they develop. Some reasons people seek the help of RMT's include:
- back, leg and neck pain
- carpal tunnel syndrome
- athletic injuries
- joint pain
- arthritis
- tendonitis
- stress
- depression
- headaches
- post-surgical rehabilitation
- pregnancy support
- fibromyalgia
- insomnia
- constipation
- multiple sclerosis
- asthma and emphysema
- stroke
- Parkinson's disease
- cancer
- chronic fatigue syndrome
