Kathleen Sue Sullivan, LMP

Philosophy:

I love massage. I feel it is a powerful modality with the potential to change people's lives; from, curing painful injuries, to reeducating chronically-worn bodies, to easing disease-causing stress. I have a gentle approach to deep work, using a variety of techniques to get the maximum benefit for each individual client. My specialties include: wellness, injury treatment, and pregnancy massage. It is a gift for me to offer a moment of peace and understanding in our often hectic world.
