HEALTH / BEAUTY / MASSAGE
Highly recommended, Heather Kaye’s massage and yoga skills are very popular amongst yacht crews and owners alike. Heather is a highly intuitive healing arts practitioner, who sees massage therapy as a form of art. Her massage techniques range from Swedish, deep tissue, Reiki (energy work), trigger-point, myofacial release, shiatsu, reflexology, hot stones, Thai massage and facial unwinding - a rare and uniquely effective method for releasing emotional / physical stress held in the tissues for years. These methods are crafted and guided by what she senses through her hands as she listens intuitively to the body, therefore, each session is different. She starts the session with a brief medical intake along with a postural assessment so she can see where you hold your tension and where the body is compensating. With an upbeat attitude and desire to help people feel better she may incorporate into the session, suggestions about different postures and breath work that would be beneficial. When welcomed to do so, she likes to enlighten people about the body and how they can best learn to understand its needs. Very discreet, her client’s privacy is of utmost importance to her. A graduate of The Bancroft School of Massage Therapy in Massachusetts, Heather also holds a B.A. in teaching. With 17 years of yoga and meditation experience, Heather is a natural teacher and has utilized her background as a yoga teacher for 9 years. She builds this unique experience into her work, along with an interest in Ayurvedic medicine. We heard the most enthusiastic comments from yacht crews for her, such as... “Heather has an amazing gift for reading the body and reducing stress and pain” ” I have been to spas all over the world and I have NEVER had such an excellent massage as I had with Heather” “Not only was her massage the best I have ever had -but I learned so much!” Contacts:
