Highly recommend booking an appointment with Katsuno. She reviews my concerns in detail at each visit and is very attentive. The clinic is very professional and handles the direct billing so you just need to walk in and out.

My husband and I are regular clients of Katsuno and are really satisfied and happy with her massages. She's always very attentive and has greatly supported our recovery from physical days at work. Thank you very much!

I've had massages with Jackson and Katsuno and they're both awesome! Both times I left feeling so much better than when I went in. Highly reccomend.

Jackson is a very skilled massage therapist. I had some hip pain, resulting in me limping. Jackson with In about 5 mins had found the cause of the issue. Worked on it, gave me a few stretches to do. Two sessions later I not limping, on my way to loosening up the muscles that were causing me discomfort. Thank again Jackson for being diligent in your assessment of my issue, finding the cause in such a quick manner. Where prior practitioners failed to do so.

This morning I could hardly walk & my iain level was extreme. I sit alot for my work & that has created serious challenges for my back & hips. My treatment from Jackson today left me completely able to walk normally! Beyond grateful for his knowledge & amazing ability to bring about absolutely miraculous results! I've never, ever, had a medical treatment of any form in the past that had such impactful & amazing results after one treatment!

I am visiting from out of town and desperately needed relief from neck pain and headaches. They were extremely accommodating, professional and provided the relief I needed. I would definitely return and highly recommend their services.

I had massages from Jackson in Vancouver after a car accident. I wasn’t sure how ICBC insurance worked, but he took care of everything, so I didn’t have to worry and could focus on recovery. He really listened to my concerns and clearly knows what he’s doing. Jackson is easy to talk to and made me feel comfortable from the very beginning. He also speaks Japanese, which was a bonus and made communication even easier for me. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking help! He’s professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about his clients.

I’ve been a client of Jackson’s for years. Sad that’s he’s left Vancouver but delighted he’s just a ferry away - and it sure is worth the trip! His clinic is close to departure bay and has a beautiful and warm atmosphere. Everything is functional (even a nice touch having various charging plugs while one gets a massage!). Everything is well thought of! Definitely a place where I’d feel comfortable going! Congrats to you, Jackson and Katsuno. You will be seeing me again 🥰

I cannot recommend enough the professional and healing massage therapy that Jackson has provided for me over the years. I’m just sorry that he is no longer practicing in Vancouver. Nanaimo is lucky to have such an exceptional therapist

I was a client of Jackson's when he worked in Vancouver. He helped me to cure a complex pain problem that I had been struggling with for over 10 years. I have seen countless specialists about this problem over the years and he solved it! He really went above an beyond, doing work in his spare time to try and figure it out. Very highly recommended.
