Mason Wachter has graduated 🎉 and has joined our team as an RMT, so you can now use your benefits to have a treatment with him 😊

Mason was born and raised in Canmore, Alberta. He graduated from ACMT with honours with distinction. Growing up in Canmore, he has always carried a love for the outdoors, movement and is an avid rock climber, skier, and musician.

He believes that one treatment doesn’t fit all and consistently strives to incorporate a diversity of techniques individually tailored to each client. His style is slow, smooth and intentional with a very perceptive touch. With a balanced approach focused on the root cause of an issue, he excels at gentle intuitive touch but also provides skilled deep-tissue work. He combines Swedish and non-Swedish techniques such as myofascial release, manual lymphatic drainage, trigger point release, and joint mobilization, as well as pre and postnatal massage, and more.

Looked who joined our wellness team 🙌

Meet Serge Bochkarnikov!

Serge’s approach to massage is rooted in precision, patience, and presence. His treatments are firm, slow, and intentional allowing the nervous system to relax and the tissue to truly change.

He creates physical change through trigger point work (long holds on knots), active cupping (moving limbs with cups on), and myofascial release (techniques that are aimed at connective tissue and use little oil).

His work is especially suited for athletes, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone seeking deep, lasting results rather than quick fixes.

Have you been to see our wonderful Osteopath Catherine yet?

Osteopathy is a gentle, hands-on therapy that considers the body as a whole.

Manual osteopathy helps restore balance and supports the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Manual osteopaths view the body as an interconnected system — working with the bones, joints, viscera, and nervous system to promote overall harmony and function.

Here is a non-exhaustive list of conditions and concerns that manual osteopathy can address:

Musculoskeletal issues (joint pain, back and neck pain, post-traumatic pain)

Digestive issues (constipation, diarrhea, bloating, discomfort)

Urinary and gynecological issues (recurrent urinary infections, heavy or painful periods)

Pulmonary and cardiovascular issues (asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia, arrhythmia, high blood pressure)

Hormonal disorders

Nervous system imbalances (stress, anxiety, sleep issues, headaches, post-concussion)

Post-surgical recovery (musculoskeletal or visceral)

We are thrilled to introduce Catherine Gagné, our very passionate and energetic Osteopath who genuinely loves helping people move and feel better.

Catherine is fascinated by the human body—how it moves, how it adapts, and how amazingly it can heal itself.

Catherine has been practicing osteopathy since 2021 and kinesiology since 2014, blending the two to support her patients in finding balance, strength, and well-being. She truly believes that when the body is well-aligned and strong, it becomes the foundation for living pain-free and performing at your best.

Catherine has a deep love for movement and the outdoors. She is a high-level alpine ski instructor (CSIA Level 4) and over the years, has immersed herself in a variety of sports – trail running, rowing, speed skating, road and gravel cycling, as well as strength training.

Through these experiences, she has grown as an athlete and developed a true appreciation for the resilience of the human body. With her background, she truly understands what it means to push one’s limits—and what it feels like to face pain or injury along the way.

Catherine is known for being approachable, calm, and genuinely empathetic. Her warm and grounded energy creates a safe and welcoming space where patients feel listened to and supported.

Whether you are looking to feel better day-to-day, recover from an injury, prevent future pain, or improve your performance, Catherine will be happy to help you reach your summit!

Bookings are now open for Catherine https://banffwellnesspractice.janeapp.com/ #/staff_member/47
