Kathleen is a true artist. I saw Kathleen this week, and I can honestly say it was one of the best, most unique, beautiful, healing body therapy sessions I've ever experienced. I was delighted to learn you could do a shiatsu session on a massage table, and it made for a very special experience. She used a combination of Shiatsu and Acupressure in the session, and it was both precise, and delicate while also being warm and flowing, and connecting the different parts of my body. Everything she did, she did with grace, and I felt more peaceful in mind and more ease in my body after the session. I will definitely be back! I highly recommend Kathleen to anyone seeking massage therapy, especially if you want to experience and alternative to Shiatsu on the mat. And, her massage studio is gorgeous and welcoming with many lovely and thoughtful touches. 🙂

Have been in to see Kathleen twice now; both times in moments of transition and tension. Her space is so peaceful and light-filled, and the body work is both relaxing and rejuvenating. On the most recent visit, I'd been dealing with anxiety and back pain and tried the cupping, which was very restorative. I woke up the next day so energized. Look forward to returning.

Very clean and welcoming space. Kathleen asked thoughtful questions and tailored the massage for my needs, and also checked in often. Her massage techniques felt very precise and effective, and she gave thorough instructions for cupping aftercare. I felt a great relief of shoulder and back tension during the session.

Would highly recommend!

Kathleen creates a profoundly relaxing and comfortable atmosphere in her studio. She was able to relieve my stress-related muscle tension during my session with care and a skillful touch. I whole-heartedly recommend Kathleen for a calming and therapeutic experience.

I received Kathleen's new facial sculpting massage the other day and it was wonderful. I have sensitive skin so wondered how the products and facial cupping would effect me, and I’m happy to say all was well. Her touch and technique were confident yet gentle; the massage felt stimulating and lifting without being irritating. When Kathleen works on you, you can feel how perceptively caring she is - I actually fell asleep during the facial cupping, which was like gentle cool suction combined with repetitive strokes. My skin felt smooth and perked-up afterwards. I’ll definitely be back.

Most excellent massage treatment I experienced for sciatic pain. i’ve been suffering for decades, and have traveled around Australia and Indonesia, Bali for treatment and have seen the best. Kathleen is very skillful and talented in her field. I highly recommend … thank you, Kathleen.

Kathleen Lucas is amazing. I went in with no expectations but was instantly comforted by Kathleen’s gentle, kind and caring energy. She was thorough with her inquiries about how I felt, struggles I have with my body and issues I deal with regarding sleep, digestion, pain etc...
I could tell that Kathleen is intuitive with her healing. I let her know some places I felt needed attention, but she quickly recognized some other trouble spots.
This was also my very first cupping experience, which I truly enjoyed. Her communication was great. About what I was going to feel and also encouraging my communication if something felt off.
I would 100% recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for professional body work. I’ve paid double what she charges for other professionals and left feeling like my body was in the same position as when I arrived. Not with Kathleen. I left feeling relaxed but my body was rejuvenated and recovering. So happy to have discovered this gem of a healer.
Give her a call, you won’t be disappointed.

During this time of shelter in place, pandemic, work from home, survival, community and world issues, the last thing in mind was self care. Once possible, Kathleen has become a welcoming oasis. She exudes calm and positivity. She follows strict protocol, temp check, good air flow, air purifier; the environment is so relaxing, almost makes you forget the masks are worn.
She first listens and then adjust to what I need and has always made me feel welcomed, never rushed. Kathleen is observant and has pointed out when my body is off and what I can do to help myself.
I look forward to my visits with Kathleen because I trust these visits are extremely beneficial and she is the best to entrust my well-being.
