As a Certified Athletic Therapist, movement specialist and breathwork facilitator Kathlyn is an expert at rehabilitating musculoskeletal injuries, helping clients manage chronic pain and other health conditions, and working with all sorts of clients as they walk their healing journeys.

Kathlyn is trained to assist with:
- acute injury rehabilitation
- chronic pain or tension
- chronic stress and tension
- exercise prescription and personal training
- guided breathwork and somatic awareness practices
- relaxation and rejuvenation of body and mind

Kathlyn uses movement, hands on therapy (massage, soft tissue release), myofascial cupping, somatic therapies and guided breathwork as her main healing modalities.

Somatic approaches place importance on what we experience in the mind and the body as well as the connection between the two. “Somatic” itself means “of or relating to the body.”. Working with the body and mind somatically can look like facilitated awareness practices, certain ways of facilitated movement, breath, hands on support and energetic support.

As a somatic therapist, Kathlyn helps an individual develop an awareness of their bodily sensations, behaviours and process experiences as they arise with the intent of rooting into themselves in an embodied, grounded way.

Integrative somatic therapy blends multiple modalities in the support of the clients intentions. We work with movement, touch, body awareness, contemplation, inquiry, mindfulness, breathwork and somatic processing tools to cultivate meaningful relationship within ourselves and with others, renegotiate triggers or behaviours related to past experiences and improve overall wellness. This work can take place at one of my treatment spaces or online.

All work begins with an in depth consultation and foundation in regulation. As a trauma informed practitioner, Kathlyn adapt the pace of the work to suit the capacity of each client, in each moment.

Clients have reported benefits of this work to include: decreased pain or other physical symptoms, improved mood, improved sleep, lowered anxiety, improved body awareness, healthier relationship dynamics, improved stress management among many other long term benefits.

Plant medicine and natural ways towards health are among some of human kind's most traditional healing modalities.
