Kristen McKellar, RMT
August 2022,
Hello to all of my clients, current and future!
As some of you are aware, I am approaching the end of my pregnancy, and will be taking time away from my massage therapy practice to be with my new baby.
I had been hopeful I would find someone to step in and replace me during my leave, but have had no luck in finding an appropriate RMT.
Of course, Hannah Mercer and Mallory Froese will be available to book appointments with in my absence on our website at okanaganintegralhealth.com.
As of now, I do not know the exact date of my return, though I expect to be taking clients again in early spring of 2023. The announcement will be posted here, and emails will be sent out to existing clients.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience and interruption that this may cause to your health care. I wish every one of you the very best of health nd I look forward to connecting with you again in the near future.
Sincerely,
Kristen McKellar, RMT
