Katelyn Pidperyhora is a recent graduate from the Professional Institute of Massage Therapy in Saskatoon, SK. She is now a fully Registered Massage Therapist and a proud member of the Massage Therapist Association of Saskatchewan.
​
Katelyn's approach to healing was deeply shaped by her life partner, Jordan R. Smith, RMT. Through him, she first experienced the powerful benefits of Myofascial Release and its natural, proactive approach to wellness. In February 2020, she was invited to join Jordan at the Myofascial Release Approach®: Women's Health Seminar in Sedona, Arizona, led by John F. Barnes. Without a second thought, Katelyn agreed to be Jordan's model, eager to support both his passion and career.
"Nothing made sense anymore; I had to learn this work."
Having personally encountered the challenges and gaps in Women's Health, Katelyn recognized the seminar as a fantastic opportunity to get involved and learn more. It introduced her to an entirely new world of therapeutic treatments specifically designed for women. The course left a lasting impression on her, and meeting John F. Barnes, the visionary behind the Myofascial Release movement, sparked a deep inspiration that led her to pursue a career change.
​
Katelyn’s approach to massage is centered around creating a safe, welcoming space through gentle, hands-on techniques that allow her to hold space for her clients. Each session is tailored to the individual, with a focus on understanding both short- and long-term goals, while utilizing Myofascial Release to support and enhance the healing process.
As of March 2023, Katelyn has completed the hands-on Therapeutic Breast Massage course under the directionof Pam Fichtner, RMT. She is now certified to treat a range of breast-related issues, including congestion, swelling, breast pain, post-surgical symptoms, axillary web syndrome (cording), scar tissue, and discomforts associated with cancer treatments.
