Kathryn Carr
Kathryn is a Thai massage practitioner. Thai massage uses ancient Indian Ayurvedic principles, acupressure, and assisted yoga positions to calm the nervous system, stimulate circulation, and increase range of movement with the body. This modality uses a combination of rhythmic compression with pushing and pulling techniques and typically omits the use of oils. Clients are allowed to wear their comfy athletic clothing while receiving bodywork on a large queen sized mat on the floor. Practitioners can use their feet and knees to assist stretching and to apply deep pressure to clients looking for a deeper release. Come experience Vedic Thai bodywork at Yoga Revelation and see what this popular modality has to offer you.

She is trained in craniosacral therapy for the prenatal and postpartum woman, and has received birth specialist training for treating pain and discomfort, and supporting optimal birth position during the prenatal period, as well as physical and emotional challenges that women experience during early postpartum.
