Touch the Body, Heal the Mind, Calm the Spirit
To achieve wellness, one needs to have a balance of mind, body, and spirit. During our day, we face many things which tip us out of balance. At Restore Balance Bodywork, I believe in using an integrative, holistic approach to massage, blending techniques from a variety of modalities to create an individualized treatment for each client and their unique needs.
I am honored to work with each client on their healing journey and to help facilitate the body's innate ability to restore balance.
Kate Reilly Dundlow, LMT, MPM, CF-L1, Reiki Practitioner
I grew up in Norfolk, Virginia. As a young athlete, I was introduced to several alternative healing therapies such as Chiropractic and Acupuncture. From this place, I began a lifelong journey to find a holistic approach to health and wellness.
I completed my initial coursework in massage therapy at the Fuller School of Massage in 2002 and practiced until my first son was born. Since that time, I had the opportunity to raise two boys and explore different interests including facilitating BirthWorks Childbirth Education classes, doula certification, and working as a medical assistant and scribe for an Orthopedic surgeon.
With my ongoing passion for health and wellness and love of anatomy and kinesiology, I made the decision to attend the Cayce Reilly School of Massage and graduated in May 2022.
With over 1200 hours of combined massage therapy education and years in practice, Mental Performance Mastery Certification, CrossFit Level 1, First and Second-Degree Reiki (Usui System of Natural Healing), I offer a unique style drawing from a variety of therapies. I have an enthusiasm for learning new modalities to continue to grow as a therapist.
Massage Therapy
One of the immediate benefits of massage is a feeling of deep relaxation and calm. This occurs because massage brings about the release of endorphins, the neurotransmitters that produce feelings of wellbeing.
Levels of stress hormones, such as adrenalin, cortisol, and norepinephrine, are also reduced. Studies indicate that high levels of stress hormones impair the immune system.
The physical benefits of massage include:
- Reduced muscle tension
- Improved circulation
- Stimulation of the lymphatic system
- Reduction of stress hormones
- Relaxation
- Improved recovery of soft tissue injuries
- Improved skin tone
- Increased joint mobility and flexibility
- Heightened mental alertness
- Reduced anxiety and depression
- Enhanced sleep quality
SERVICES / PRICES
At Restore Balance Bodywork, my goal is to provide each client with an experience tailored to their unique needs to provide both immediate and lasting benefits. I believe that everyone deserves to feel and function at their best.
Therapeutic Integrative Massage:
Intuitive touch to find areas of tension and improve muscle function and mobility while still providing a relaxing experience. I will utilize a combination of techniques I feel is necessary for you to achieve your goals. Great for conditions that require a lighter touch or when barefoot massage is contraindicated.
Ashiatsu:
Using Ashiatsu bars on the ceiling for support and balance, along with gravity and body weight, a consistent, broad, deep pressure massage is delivered with the feet. Barefoot massage is beneficial for individuals with chronic back/hip pain, shoulder pain, or scoliosis as well as for cross-fitters, runners, cyclists, weekend warriors, and all types of athletes looking for treatment and prevention of injuries, increased range of motion, fast recovery, and long-lasting results.
**Please choose Therapeutic Integrative Massage if you prefer moderate to light pressure. **
Reflexology:
Reflex points, which relate to all parts of the body, respond to pressure stimulating the body’s own natural healing process.
Cupping:
An alternative therapy involves placing cups on the skin to create suction. The negative pressure pulls tissue away from the body to allow more blood flow to a specific area to facilitate healing and improve the flow of energy in the body.
Reiki:
Hands are placed on or above the body and held there for energetic attention, enhanced relaxation, and promote balance and healing.
