Mallory Junkin

Mallory is a Certified Massage Therapist, 200 hr Raja yoga instructor, and Reiki II practitioner.  She began her massage career in Austin, graduating from Texas Healing Arts Institute in 2008, and quickly began working with athletes and clients searching for pain relief.  She became fascinated with the transformation of the human body as she learned myofascial release, gentle stretching, and trigger point work from both hands-on experience and the physical therapists she worked alongside.  Mallory recognizes the importance of subtle energy work and incorporates nurturing and restorative techniques into her sessions to give each client a therapeutic massage.  Her passion for health and wellbeing are reflected in her enthusiasm for rock climbing, her love of yoga, and her devotion to mindfulness.

CATHERINE KNILEY

Catherine brings the experience of over 20 years of massage practice. She is trained as a Medical Massage Therapist, versed in applying soft tissue techniques to treat acute trauma, pre/post surgery and chronic pain management. Catherine’s course of study has covered Deep Tissue, Myofascial Release, Neuromuscular Therapy, Acupressure, Shiatsu, Trigger Point Therapy, Pre/Post-Natal, and Watsu. Over the years, she has teamed with medical practices, fitness facilities and exclusive spas – whatever it takes to help people feel the most comfortable in, what she believes to be, an already perfect machine: the human body. The application of her skills is best described as a tailored blend of deep tissue techniques, applied in noninvasive ways. This allows the central nervous system to relax, encouraging and supporting the body’s natural healing processes. As an athlete that has always played hard, she understands where you are coming from, and knows how to get you to the next adventure.

LTMC COMMUNITY PRACTICe

We have met weekly since July 2014, providing encouragement to each other on the path of mindful living. In practicing as a community, our practice of mindfulness becomes more joyful, relaxed and steady. Time is spent practicing sitting and walking meditation in the tradition of Plum Village/Thich Nhat Hanh, in addition to discussing our current book, “Anger: Wisdom for Cooling the Flames.” Most mornings we conclude by enjoying breakfast together. Check out our LTMC Facebook page for more information. Founder and facilitator: Karla Johnston
