Tatiana Shtytcer, RMT

Tatiana is a warm and welcoming RMT who originally hails from Siberia, Russia. Tatiana tailors her massage sessions to the individual needs and wants of each client, from light relaxing massage to deep therapeutic treatment.

Meet Tatiana.

Originally from Siberia, Russia, for as long as she can remember Tatiana always had a holistic approach to life and health.


After discovering yoga more than 22 years ago, Tatiana has since devoted much of her time to learning and practising this ancient discipline.  Tatiana loves to travel and meet new people, and has been to 35 countries around the world. She particularly enjoys getting in touch with their culture, learning about their traditions and how people live and think. She moved to Vancouver Island in 2018 and it has since become home.

Tatiana has always been interested in Massage Therapy, and she has attended massage sessions in the many countries where she’s travelled. After moving to Canada, Tatiana enrolled in WCCMT Victoria and studied the RMT program, joining the Knead team in December 2022. Tatiana welcomes everyone to her practice.

Tatiana enjoys the challenge of finding the individual approach for every client. Her offerings to clients vary depending on patient needs and wants at that particular moment. A session can be a light relaxing massage for maintenance, or a deep tissue treatment for those wanting a more therapeutic approach.

Patients of all ages are welcome, and Tatiana uses a variety of massage techniques in combination with hydrotherapy, stone massage, and therapeutic exercises.

Technique offerings include:

  • Traditional Swedish massage
  • Deep relaxation massage 
  • Pressure point release
  • Myofascial release
  • Pregnancy massage
  • Muscle energy techniques
  • Joint play and mobilization
  • Neuromuscular technique 
  • Treatment of old scar-restricted tissue
