Kathy Peillot (she |her) is a yoga teacher and a massage therapist currently pursuing a personal trainer certification. She came to massage therapy after practicing Thai Bodywork and loving the positive outcomes. Through her 10+ years as a yoga instructor, she has guided clients of various ages and needs: from athletes wanting to balance mobility and strength, to new parents dealing with little rest and increased tension. Her approach is mindful and alignment-based, integrating principles of isometric engagement for stabilization or stretching. Kathy specializes in Cupping (IASTM), Deep Tissue, Thai Yoga Bodywork and Prenatal Massage. She also trained in Myofascial, Trigger Point Therapy and Swedish modalities. Her intention is to leave you feeling refreshed and empowered to access a source of well-being within yourself through active self-care, connection and rest. When she is not practicing massage therapy, Kathy is spending time with her family: gardening, playing board games, cooking, hiking in the woods or having a music jam with her toddler son. You can also find her offerings on the meditation app Insight Timer and on her website www.jouvencebodywork.com.
