Katerina Rapundalo brings a grounded, compassionate presence to her work as a Registered Massage Therapist at Eleven Arrows. A graduate of Vancouver Career College’s 2800 hour massage therapy program, her approach is shaped by both extensive training and lived experience.⁠

As a mother, Kat has a deep understanding of the physical, emotional, and mental transitions of pregnancy, birth, and recovery. She specializes in women’s and childbearing health, including prenatal and postpartum care, C section rehabilitation, breast treatment, and infant and child massage.⁠

Kat also supports clients with sports and orthopedic injuries, motor vehicle accident recovery, and neurological conditions, always approaching care through a whole person lens. Her practice is inclusive and affirming for children and teens, LGBTQIA2S, and neurodivergent individuals.⁠

Outside the treatment room, Kat enjoys movement, creative projects, time outdoors, and life with her family.

We’re so grateful to have her on the Eleven Arrows team 🤍

✨️⁠ Affordable counselling | 50 minute session for $50

Currently offered by Jeff, a professional counsellor in training at Eleven Arrows. He brings a calm, thoughtful presence to his work, offering clients space to slow down, listen more closely to themselves, and explore what’s happening beneath the surface.⁠

A graduate of the Vancouver College of Counsellor Training of Canada, Jeff takes a collaborative approach rooted in curiosity rather than quick fixes.

His sessions are steady and spacious, supporting those who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, and those navigating anxiety, grief, life transitions, or relational challenges.⁠

Time for a posture check 👋🏽 Your body is always adapting to how you move, sit, and carry stress. Over time, those patterns can show up as stiffness, pain, or feeling “off” in your body.⁠

Paul, RMT, breaks down why posture matters and how small awareness shifts can make a big difference in how your body feels day to day. ⁠

Supporting your posture is not about being perfect, it is about creating ease, balance, and resilience in your nervous system and muscles.⁠

Nevin Windfeld brings a thoughtful, focused, and highly individualized approach to bodywork at Eleven Arrows. His path into health and wellness grew from working through his own injuries and a genuine desire to support others as they move through theirs.⁠

Nevin’s treatment style was shaped by years of physical labour, where care needed to be effective, repeatable, and results driven. His work is rooted in a simple but powerful process: test, treat, retest. Always with intention and attention to how the body responds.⁠

He specializes in supporting physical injuries affecting muscles, joints, and connective tissue, using techniques such as trigger point therapy, joint mobilizations, and mindfulness informed care. Clients often notice his ability to create a calm, focused space where comfort, clarity, and progress are prioritized.⁠

What sets Nevin apart is his commitment to personalized care and client empowerment. Sessions are collaborative, with regular check ins, space for questions, and a shared goal of meaningful, sustainable change.⁠

Outside the treatment room, Nevin practices what he teaches through meditation, breathwork, hot and cold exposure, physical training, and a deep interest in anatomy. When he’s not doing that, you might find him hiking among the trees or competing in 40k tournaments.⁠

His mantra⁠: The universe works hard in my favour

Rest is not a reward. It’s a requirement.⁠

If your body is tired, tense, or overstimulated, it’s not a sign you need to push harder.⁠ It’s a sign you need support.⁠

At Eleven Arrows, rest looks like:⁠
• Heat that softens what you’ve been holding⁠
• Bodywork that helps you let go⁠
• Quiet moments to regulate your nervous system⁠
• Care that meets you where you are⁠

You don’t have to earn rest.⁠ You don’t have to wait until you’re burnt out.⁠

You’re allowed to slow down now 🤍

Your space affects your mood more than you think! ⁠🌿

A tidy room, a few beautiful things, and surrounding yourself with what brings you joy can really shift how you feel. Light, flowers, plants, art, cozy details. It all adds up.⁠

Wellbeing isn’t just about routines. It’s also about the spaces you live in every day.⁠

Make your space work for you.

If this thought feels familiar, you’re not alone.⁠

So many people wait until things feel unbearable before asking for support. But counselling isn’t only for breaking points. It’s for the in between moments. The quiet heaviness. The feeling that something isn’t right, even if you can’t quite name it.⁠

You don’t have to wait until it gets worse.⁠
You don’t have to justify your feelings.⁠
You’re allowed to ask for help now.⁠

Counselling sessions are available for new and returning clients 🤍
