Katherine Downey, BSc, RCRT

Calm the Body, Still the Mind

As a wife and mother of two teenagers (and two dogs), Katherine knows how hard it is to make time for yourself.
Katherine has spent the last 10 years studying a variety of alternative healing modalities. She believes that relaxing bodywork like Reiki and Reflexology are an integral part of staying healthy for busy women.
It’s Katherine’s goal to help you relax and recharge so you can leave the clinic feeling more calm and centred than when you walked in.

Reflexology, Reiki and Indian Head Massage are all tools to help your body slow down so that it begins to heal itself.
Katherine uses these therapies on their own or in combination to bring your body and mind into a state of rest and relaxation.
In this hectic world there is no better gift you can give yourself than a little peace and quiet. A healing session with Katherine is an easy and effective way to bring balance back into your life.

Reflexology

Reflexology is an ancient healing art that helps release tension, improve circulation, boost immunity and bring the body back into balance.
The feet and hands have reflex points that correspond to each of the body's systems including organs such as the heart, liver, thyroid and adrenals. By applying pressure to these points the body’s own healing ability is triggered to release energy blocks and restore normal function.

Reiki

A reiki treatment feels like warm, gentle sunshine which flows through you, surrounds you and brings comfort and calm on a physical,emotional and spiritual level. Katherine's hands bring this life force energy to you by placing her hands in various positions above your body as you relax on a massage table.
Reiki energy rebalances your energy, reduces stress and relaxes the body and can help with pain relief.

Heated Stones Reflexology

Heated basalt stones are used to massage the leg and work many of the foot reflex points at the beginning and end of a reflexology treatment.
They provide a wonderfullly deep sense of release and relaxation.

Indian Head Massage

Gentle Ayurvedic massage techniques are used on the upper back, neck, head and face while the client is seated in a chair. The massage is deeply calming yet leaves you revitalized. It is especially effective for stress, tension, insomnia, headaches and sinusitis.
