Knead is hiring.

RMTs & Regulated Health Care Professionals Wanted Knead has the capacity for another caring, committed, and capable practitioner.

We stand alone.

Knead is a healthcare clinic founded in 2010 by RMT Beverley Spidle. Here are a few ways that practicing at Knead can help advance your career.

Knead values the personal and professional lives of our RMTs more than most.

Therapist-centered.

To practice your best, you need your clinic’s support. Our therapist-centered approach allows you to work the way you want to.

Our waitlist is consistently full. RMTs at Knead are never short of clients.

Full patient load.

Clients love Knead, and we have the waitlist to prove it. Any RMT that joins our team can expect to be kept busy from day one.

Family-friendly workplace.

With flexible days and full support, Knead is a great workplace for parents. We know that kids make life unpredictable, and that as a parent you need some versatility from your workplace.

Knead’s clinic is focused on RMTs and healthcare, with a beautifully-renovated building in central Nanaimo.

Dedicated to complete care.

We’re opening up our space to other practitioners to provide even more to both clients and staff. You can expect cross referrals, marketing help, and a community of support when you join our team.

Letter from the owner.

My name is Beverley Spidle and I have been a Registered Massage Therapist since 2004. I started practicing at a young age, and absolutely love my career – I will practice until my hands fall off!

Before opening Knead Therapy, I did months of research to find the right clinic in Nanaimo for me to practice in. Unfortunately, at the time it didn’t exist.

I decided the only way to work in Nanaimo was to build a clinic that valued and supported RMTs in the same way I wanted to be valued and supported.

I knew what my hands could do, and was ready to take a stand for how I felt things should be done for RMTs. So in 2010, I opened Knead Therapy in my home town of Nanaimo.

I worked for nine months straight, in three different communities, seven days a week to grow my business. It was a tough time, but I absolutely loved the challenge. I grew personally and professionally, and still love running the clinic over a decade later.

Today, Knead Therapy has grown into a welcoming and thriving clinic with a life of her own.

Knead Therapy is a professional space, with the right balance of warmth and kindness. We are organized, supportive, and structured; yet still flexible and friendly.

I take leadership seriously, and am constantly working on my own skills. I lead with my heart and maintain personal and professional boundaries.

As a team, we have so much to offer to the right teammates. I am deeply committed to the clinic space we share with our clients, coworkers, and staff.

We value work/life balance, understanding that changes and challenges emerge for everyone, and pride ourselves with open communication to achieve it. We thrive in gratitude and are a pretty fun group to work with!

If you think you might be interested in learning more about the structure of the clinic and how it could work for you, please reach out. I look forward to hearing from you.

“Motivated & resourceful leadership.”

Knead’s just a great place to practice: very professional, but still warm and calm. Leadership is motivated and resourceful, with caring, friendly therapists and admin staff who have your back (pun intended!). The clinic itself is clean, safe, and well lit. And our easy to use online booking system is really the icing on the cake.

I’ve had the pleasure of working at Knead for over five years. Bev is the most supportive employer I have ever worked for. All the staff are happy and as busy as they want to be. Knead Therapy’s great reputation shows in the dedicated clients and wait list for new clients. The new space is beautiful and spacious. The clients are fantastic and well taken care of.

“Enables me to give my best.”

I chose to join the team at Knead because of the amazing support and relaxed working culture. Beverley is extremely easygoing and straightforward to deal with, looking out for my best interest right from our first conversation. The admin team drops what they’re doing to answer questions and help out with everything from scheduling to locating tools, clocks, etc.

Fellow therapists are warm and friendly, and the overall energy is light and joyful, which enables me to give my best to the patients that choose to come in for treatment.

Rahim Valli RMT at Knead

Knead is a therapist-focused clinic with a positive reputation within the profession, a beautiful clinic, and friendly, welcoming staff. The office manager and reception staff are extremely helpful, and save you hours of admin time. The owner Bev is very fair and reasonable when it comes to room rental rates and contract terms – it’s obvious that she is also a RMT by the way she treats the staff.
