Katrina offers Therapeutic Massage for all and specialises in working with those who experience additional needs, and providing training for those who support them. The Multi-Sensory approach used with Therapeutic Massage techniques is about awakening, stimulating and integrating all of the senses to provide a focused sensory experience for the person(s).
To relate to others and to the world around them , there needs to be human physical contact, attention and communication on an appropriate level. There must be a good reason to relate and Therapeutic Massage, particularly when viewed from an interactive perspective, can offer that reason to relate.
