Reviews of Caela Gillies, RMT/ Craniosacral Therapy (Massage Therapist)

Alli Epp

Caela is incredibly intuitive and skilled. She is one of the best Cranio Sacral Practitioner’s I’ve ever experienced. I leave feeling a complete reset, calm, in tune and at peace. I recommend her so highly!

I go to Caela for Craniosacral Therapy and I find it to be a powerful experience that activates healing in my body and mind. As a Craniosacral Therapist, Caela draws you deep into a place of healing during your treatment with her own energy. I find myself feeling much more rejuvenated and relaxed the day after a treatment.

Caela is a natural healer, and she has spent countless hours learning about the human body. Her massages are always spot on and her cranial work is relaxing, deep body work. Highly recommend!

Caela is an incredibly intuitive practitioner. Not only is her energy deeply grounding and calming, but her beautiful work space feels safe and is created with heartfelt intention. Her craniosacral treatments are POWERFUL! Her ability to hold space, channel healing energy, and guide my body back into balance has helped me in many aspects of my life and healing journey. She is truly a gift to all who get to experience a treatment with her. Thank you, Caela!

I started going to see Caela in August 2020, the first treatment I went for was 1/2 massage, 1/2 cranio. I felt immediate release in my shoulders and major shifts in my energy. Since the initial treatment I go to see Caela monthly, if possible. As I don't experience a lot of physical pain, the full hour of cranio is my "go-to". When I have gone back to part of the treatment being massage, it is a great help for any troubling area. Caela has worked on my shoulders a few times and she is the best RMT I have ever been to (out of a dozen at least, over the years), her treatments go directly to the area & are incredibly effective in releasing tight/painful areas. I am reluctant to not put Caela's RMT skills to use more often in my sessions -- as they are superb -- but I feel the craniosacral treatments offer something unique for me. The craniosacral treatments from Caela have sparked major shifts in my energy, helping me release old injuries, old patterns, and I believe have been a part of deep, energetic healing for my body and spirit. After a treatment, I feel deeply relaxed and also brimming with a light-hearted energy. I often feel physical releases throughout the treatment, and through the remainder of the day once I leave Caela's practice. I have recommended three of my family members in the past year to Caela for cranio/massage and they each had excellent experiences. Caela is a professional, exuding calm & healing energy from the moment you arrive in her presence. Her treatments -- RMT or cranio -- are worthy additions to any healing or relaxation journey. The treatment space is a tranquil, clean & welcoming environment. I highly recommend Caela to anyone looking for an RMT or healing experience.

I saw Caela during my pregnancy for massages weekly. My right hip had been bothering me, and while I was doing many different treatments for it - the only thing that made the pain go away completely was craniosacral therapy by Caela. It had been my first experience and a very positive one. After I gave birth, my little one seemed very uncomfortable and had torticollis. I messaged Caela and she fit us for 3 sessions in one week. She is a now a completely different baby. She is comfortable and sleeps much better. She turns her head the other way as well. She made us comfortable the whole time. It was amazing to see the difference between our first session and third. I can’t thank her enough ♥️

Anyone who is lucky enough to find Caela and experience a soothing treatment by her healing hands will know why I keep going back. A relaxing and healing session with Caela feels BETTER than having a long nap.

When I moved from Ontario a year ago, I was worried about finding someone as good as my previous RMT, Natalie. After my first session with Caela, I knew I had found a very rare combination, a practitioner who is effective and intuitive. This was 6 months ago and I appreciate every monthly appointment. She is also a wonderful person.

I started seeing Caela Gillies, RMT for cranial sacral therapy a few months back. During the treatment I would lay on my back and she would work at my feet, my spine and my head. I would usually slip into deep relaxation and a dream/sleep like meditation state. Caela’s soft voice, gentle and caring presence as well as with her extensive background in wholistic health and healing is exactly what I needed to bring about deeper healing in my life. So grateful!

Alysha Ryckman

I reccomend Caela to everyone! She always makes me feel comfortable and validates my concerns. Caela has been doing craniosacral therapy with me. I have noticed significant improvement in my digestion as well as my anxiety. Each session Caela tailors a treatment specific for me. I always leave feeling relaxed!

I have been going to Caela for close to a year- what a terrific experience. Caela is extremely knowledgeable and driven to provide an awesome experience. By offering multiple styles of massage Caela has been able to work with me to dramatically decreased my pain and increase my range of motion. If you are looking for a RMT I would highly recommend Caela

You won’t find a better RMT in the Valley. Caela is very professional and the best at what she does.

Erin Brizard

The best RMT in the valley without question. Caela is very thoughtful, calm and knowledgeable. Appointments with her are always a great experience.

Kristen Campbell

I have been seeing Caela since she was just training to be an RMT and even back then she gave me the best massage I have ever had. She has the gift of healing hands and she is extremely knowledgeable which makes her well equipped for anything you come to her with. Plus, she is a lovely person!! You couldn't ask for a better experience!

Phyllis Purdy

Caela has a natural talent for healing with massage and her Craniosacral Therapy is very effective. I highly recommend Caela for the best massage/craniosacral therapy in the Comox Valley.

Caela is an extraordinary RMT whom I have been going to for the past three years. She is always professional, kind, punctual as well as very thoughtful and intentional in her practice. Recently I have begun receiving Craniosacral treatments from Caela. As someone who works a very busy, stressful, yet rewarding job in healthcare, I have noticed the positive effects of this treatment. After my initial treatment I realized how much I was that lacking this form of self care, and it is something that I have made a priority to incorporate into my life. At the beginning of each session I love how Caela guides me into a relaxed and safe space for the duration of the treatment. Craniosacral has been positively improving my life. I feel restored, refreshed and as if a weight has been lifted. I leave every appointment blissfully relaxed and grounded.

Caela is awesome! I highly recommend her. She is polite, professional and works hard to ensure I feel better by the end of my treatment. You couldn't find a nicer RMT!! She has been amazing addressing some of my chronic issues- my back shoulder and elbow are so much better because of her expertise!!

Sue Farlinger

Craniosacral with Caela leaves me balanced and grounded, not only mentally but in my body. It has become a retuning, a touchstone that keeps me on course.

Melanie LInka

Caela is incredibly present and thorough during treatment . She makes you feel cared for throughout the entire experience, and gives a great massage!

I have been receiving Craniosacral Therapy ( CST) with Caela on a regular basis for over a year and a half. It has been an amazing experience. CST has helped me both physically and mentally. Caela was able to help me release stuck emotions that I had unknowingly been storing in my body for a long time. Physically, after each session I feel very relaxed, with an overall sense of calm that stays with me long after our CST sessions. I find CST to be a gentle, but powerful self care therapy. Caela is very personable and has extensive knowledge in both massage and Craniosacral therapy. I highly recommend anyone who would like to balance their system in a gentle healing way to try Craniosacral Therapy with Caela. It has had a huge positive impact on my life, with long lasting results. I am always looking forward to my next Craniosacral session with Caela. She has a special gift for helping others, and I am forever grateful.

Best massage I have ever had. Caela is a wonderful therapist. I have really appreciated working with her and feel better than I have in many years.

Natasha Duff

Caela is incredible. I prefer a very firm massage and she does such a good job. Caela has a soothing nature & a devotion to healing that I admire so much in her:)

Nicole Holkestad

One of my favourite RMT’s! Caela creates a very welcoming and relaxing environment. I love when she uses her young living essential oils. I instantly melt into the best face pillow I’ve ever experienced while getting a massage ???? I highly recommend Caela! She is oh so talented and incredibly passionate about her work. The only downside is the fact that she left the okanagan and moved to Vancouver island ????

Nicole Hornstein

I've seen Caela for over a year on a regular basis. She is an amazing therapist. She is thoughtful and professional in her approach and uses a variety of techniques. I see Caela for both massage therapy and craniosacral therapy and both are excellent and offer a different therapeutic technique. I've found both to be very helpful to keep my body and mind in a healthy and well balanced state. I would recommend Caela to anyone looking to try massage or craniosacral therapy.
