A Bit About Kathryn

Hello there. My name is Kathryn Joy. I am a Remedial Massage Therapist, Craniosacral Therapist, and
Somatic Stress Release™ and Movement Therapist. I am passionate about supporting people to reconnect
with their bodies, restore balance, and experience lasting well-being.

I believe that our bodies hold incredible wisdom. Often, stress, trauma, pain, and the demands of
everyday life can disconnect us from that wisdom, leaving us feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or
physically uncomfortable.

I offer remedial massage treatments for musculoskeletal conditions, including postural imbalances, frozen
shoulder, pelvic instability, injury recovery, acute pain relief, as well as pregnancy massage and
lymphatic drainage. Sessions may incorporate techniques that elicit a deep parasympathetic nervous
system response, encouraging your body to gently realign and heal. I may also weave in Craniosacral
Therapy. Alternatively, Craniosacral Therapy sessions are available as standalone appointments.

As a separate modality to massage and bodywork, I offer sessions in Somatic Stress Release™ and
Therapeutic Movement. These support you in working through stress, trauma, chronic pain, life
challenges, and nervous system dysregulation by engaging the body's biological stress cycle through
movement, sensation, breath, voice, and restorative practices. This body-led approach allows for deep
healing and resolution through the body's natural language—movement and felt sensations.

These sessions can be creative, sometimes fun, and reflective of life in many ways, literally supporting
you to fully “embody your life.” Please book these sessions as a separate modality from massage.

My approach is nurturing and grounded, with a focus on creating a safe space for healing, embodiment,
and transformation.
