kathryn kessler
I am Kathryn Kessler, a Registered Massage Therapist specializing in therapeutic relaxation massage with the added benefit of sound vibration therapy. I have been interested in massage for 29 years, since my first son was born. During his bath time routine, I would massage lotion on him after his bath, noticing the impact it had on his overall well-being. That was the beginning of my journey to helping others heal. I offer sound vibration therapy in conjunction with therapeutic relaxation massage. By combining the massage with the vibrations of sound, you are essentially massaged from the inside out. You can read more about the benefits of each of these healing methods here. My certifications include the MRU Diploma in Massage Therapy (2200 Hours) and CranioSacral Therapy Level 3. I find helping support someone’s healing deeply fulfilling. It is immensely satisfying helping someone to feel better. It amazes me how a body can suffer an injury, strain or trauma and after 5-6 massage and sound vibration sessions, the body is 90% healed, the person is feeling better and more relaxed. My absolute favourite part of doing this work is watching my clients walk out of my office with a dreamy, sleepy look. That’s when I know that I have taken them from fight & flight to rest & digest, and their body is beginning to heal.

Enjoy a relaxing drive through the rolling foothills to 112196 226 Ave W, Foothills, AB.

How will massage therapy benefit me?
With professional massage therapy you can experience relief from muscular tension and pain, receive increased range of motion and a reduction of mental stress levels. Massage is a natural healing process that can deliver both physical and emotional benefits. Treatments are specifically tailored to meet your needs.
How often will I need treatments?
Your body can let you know. Some people require only a few sessions to treat a specific problem, while others become regular users of massage therapy as both proactive and preventative healthcare. Massage can help maintain good muscle tone, flexibility, and help correct muscular injuries.
Will I experience muscle soreness following a massage therapy treatment?
Most people report feel very relaxed, and often experience significant relief from aches, pains and stress after a massage session. However some people, especially those who require deep-tissue massage, experience mild muscle soreness which may last a day or two. Once the soreness is gone, they often notice heightened energy levels and an increased range of motion.
