Mitchell Budd, RMT

Say hello to Mitchell, a dedicated registered massage therapist empowering clients to transform their lives.

Meet Mitchell.

After a decade of experience in the lumber industry in the beautiful BC interior, Mitch’s life took an exciting turn after a transformative journey through Asia. It was during this adventure that he discovered his true passion – connecting with people and helping them thrive.


Mitch relocated to Vernon and pursued his passion by attending Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy (OVCMT). Since then, he has fully embraced his new career path and never looked back.

Mitch finds immense satisfaction in his career. In his role as a massage therapist, Mitch is able to empower clients to initiate positive transformations in their own lives. His practice encompasses improvements in physical health and lifestyle, and he takes great pride in his ability to meet clients exactly where they are on their wellness journey and tailor treatments to suit their individual needs and objectives.

As a RMT, Mitch utilizes a variety of techniques, including myofascial methods, trigger point therapy, and neuromuscular therapy. These approaches are carefully chosen and skillfully applied to produce the precise outcomes that clients desire so they leave each session feeling rejuvenated and re-energized.

Beyond the clinic, you’ll find Mitch immersing himself in the natural beauty of Vancouver Island whenever he can. He has a deep appreciation for the Island’s serene landscapes, and enjoys exploring the great outdoors, which he finds helps to refill his own tank. On quieter nights, he enjoys relaxing by watching a thought-provoking documentary or delving into a good book on philosophy.
