Hi, I’m Kendra Smith, the founder of Cura Med NWA, LLC. I’ve been dedicated to the healing arts since 2009, with a deep focus on clinical lymphatic drainage therapy and medical massage. My practice is rooted in science, compassion, and a personal mission: “Care and Healing for All.” I specialize in therapeutic techniques that support the body’s natural recovery systems — from post-surgical lymphatic care to chronic pain relief. I’m also certified in personal training with a focus on foundational balance, neuro-resets, and gentle strength training, helping clients build strength and mobility from the inside out. My approach combines clinical knowledge with a personal touch. Every session is tailored to meet your unique needs — whether you're healing, recovering, or maintaining wellness. Outside the clinic, I love spending time in nature — kayaking, hiking, and riding motorcycles. I also enjoy dancing, singing, and sharing life with my family and friends. At Cura Med NWA, you'll find a safe, supportive space for your healing journey — because you deserve to feel better, move better, and live better.
Massage
Swedish massage is a type of massage therapy that involves long strokes and friction motions to improve circulation and blood flow, relieve tension, and promote relaxation. It is one of the most common types of massages you can get. The massage involves actions like percussion, kneading, vibration, tapping and rolling, and massage oil or lotion is used to protect the skin from friction. Swedish massage is often used to relax you, relieve stress and relieve pain.
Reflexology
Reflexology is a type of massage that involves applying pressure to specific points on the feet, hands, and ears. This practice is believed to promote relaxation, relieve stress, and enhance overall well-being by stimulating the body's natural healing processes. Reflexology is often referred to as zone therapy and utilizes various techniques without the use of oils or lotions. It can be effective in reducing tension and improving health by encouraging deep relaxation.
Lymphatic Drainage
Clinical lymphatic drainage techniques include manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) and simple lymphatic drainage (SLD). MLD is a technique developed in 1936 for the treatment of swollen lymph nodes. It reduces swelling and encourages lymph to move more freely around the body. MLD is often recommended as an essential part of a successful management strategy for lymphoedema. Clinical Lymphatic Drainage is used to prepare clients for surgeries to help improve surgical outcomes. It is also used post-op to improve the body's ability to detox and reduce the accumulation of adhesions. Post-op Clinical Lymphatic Drainage is highly recommended to help achieve the best final results.
