Kate is a member of Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals. She is nationally certified and registered as a massage practitioner. Bodywork offered at Dummerston Healing Arts is particular, especially with regard to:
Relaxation
The full, long strokes and deep, kneading movements of a Swedish massage increase circulation of blood and lymph, and induce a state of calmness and well-being.
Chronic Pain
Deep tissue therapeutic massage allows the practitioner and client to work together towards solving the puzzles that can come with chronic pain by employing specific techniques to relieve cramped and contracted muscles.
Recovery from Injury, Shock and Trauma
Massage can play a key role in the quick and complete recovery from physical injury and emotional trauma. It is designed to work with body tissues in the process of reparation and healing. Kate is specifically trained to work with Birth Shock and Trauma.
Mental Health
Therapeutic massage can help those who suffer from anxiety, eating disorders, and depression by calming the nervous system with a warm, affirming presence.
Pregnancy and Postpartum
Kate is specially trained to work with the needs of women during pregnancy, labor and postpartum. Massage can relieve the strain caused by carrying a child as well as nurture an expectant or new mother and her baby.
Medical Massage
Massage therapy is a viable option for working with specific health conditions such as whiplash, frozen shoulder, disc problems, tendinitis, headaches, fibromyalgia and many more. Sometimes, a referral from a doctor can allow clients to have massage therapy covered by insurance. Kate is trained to work with health care professionals so that your needs are met.
