Kortu is passionate about holistic, whole-body healthcare. As a recent graduate of the West
Coast College of Massage Therapy in Victoria, she has returned to her hometown of Nanaimo to help people on their personal health journey. Kortu feels strongly that no one knows their body better than themselves - and this belief is at the forefront of her RMT treatment. She’s
passionate about listening to people’s needs and goals, and creating a plan that supports
everyone on their personal path. She is especially interested in terminal health conditions
and pre- and post-natal care. Kortu was born in Liberia and moved to Nanaimo at a young age. She feels at home on the west coast, and spends as much time as she can outdoors surrounded by ocean and forest. She finds joy living a healthy lifestyle - especially if it involves hiking, surfing and trail-running.
