Lymphatic Drainage

Lymphatic Drainage Enhancement training with Ruth Newman

Thai Yoga Bodywork

Thai Yoga originates in Thailand and features assisted stretches, joint mobilization and acupressure integrated from Chinese and Ayurvedic Medicine. The rocking motion that often accompanies the strokes has a soothing effect on the nervous system and helps the body restore its energy.

Cupping (IASTM)

Cupping is a form of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation (IASTM) that has been used in various cultures for centuries. I use Silicone Cups to create a vacuum that pulls soft tissue away from underlying structures, helping release myofascial restrictions and increasing local circulation to support tissue health. Typical massage adds pressure onto tissues, which may be counter-productive in areas where tissues are particularly dense or tight already. The effect of the decompression/negative pressure created by the cup can be very therapeutic. Temporary painless marks resembling bruises will sometimes appear after cupping therapy. These are due to the unlocking of stagnant blood/fluid and typically disappear within a week post-treatment.

Kathy was absolutely wonderful! She continuously checked in throughout our session to make sure I was getting exactly what I wanted. Kathy knows so much about the human body so she can really pinpoint areas that need to be worked on! I highly recommend going to see her!

I had a wonderful experience getting a massage by Kathy. Despite getting there completely stressed, she was very kind, helped to calm me down, and gave an excellent massage. I plan on coming back!
