Stories from Clients
“I am thrilled to have found Kathleen! I came to her originally for Maya massage and have been completely pleased with the results… my midsection has a noticeably new & improved shape - and I have less bloating and more reliable digestion. Kathleen had wonderful intake questions and she is a natural educator - I feel like I’ve been able to learn and apply the abdominal massage as a lifelong skill. Additionally, she has given me wonderful insights and tips on nutrition that support my body and wellbeing. Kathleen is a skilled and intuitive bodyworker and I have been delighted to experience her massages in addition to the Maya work. She is a kind soul and I would highly recommend her to everyone!”

“I started working with Kathleen because of her expertise in Mayan abdominal massage, but I stayed with her because of her flexibility and ability to follow my process. Working with Kathleen is always a joyful adventure that provides deep relaxation, more flexibility and well-being as well as new insights into the mystery of my bodymind.”

“My first abdominal massage experience was terrific. I suffer from motility issues. My intestinal tract feels like it gets hung up throughout the digestive process. The abdominal massage gently assists my digestive process, allowing my gut to move again during and after the experience. I experience a great deal of muscle tension associated with the sporadic motility, which the abdominal massage also effectively releases. Kathleen incorporates self-healing through various techniques that I have embraced and incorporated into my lifestyle. I have a new respect for calm and peace, which I can attribute to my experience with Kathleen.”

“Kathleen is a truly gifted massage therapist. I have seen her for Maya Abdominal Massage for fertility issues (probably related to endometriosis) and a retroverted uterus. I had tried to get pregnant for about a year before I saw her. After several months of Kathleen’s work and doing the self-massage she taught me at home, I was able to conceive and went on to have a healthy baby boy. Kathleen was not only amazing at her physical art, but she was a wonderful, warm and supportive presence during a challenging time. As a health practitioner myself, I also refer clients to her when they want a natural approach to issues such as painful periods, ovarian dysfunction and infertility. I will forever be grateful for her work!”

“My husband and I had been attempting to conceive for six months. Since I had just turned 40, all of the advice was to go ahead and seek a fertility evaluation after six months. After a few tests and a consultation with one of the leading specialist in our area, we were told that our desire to conceive on our own was unrealistic and that we needed to pursue IVF. Now, I am not opposed to ART, but at the time, this just didn't "feel" right for my journey, at that time. After conducting a lot of research into alternative treatment, I found Kathleen. From the beginning, Kathleen made me feel very comfortable with my decision, as opposed to the specialist who "knew" better than I did. The session included a comprehensive review of my fertility health as well as detailed body work. As part of the Mayan Abdominal Massage, Kathleen also instructed me in home self care. My individualized treatment focused on removing blockages, both physical and emotional. I left the session feeling at peace. I went on to conceive my son that cycle, and I believe Kathleen was an essential part of that journey.
After giving birth, I returned to Kathleen for postpartum care, after my C-section. Part of this treatment includes body work sessions, as well as at home care. This combination was very successful in reducing scar tissue as well as preventing issues with uterine position after birth.
On our journey to our next pregnancy, both my husband and I had sessions with Kathleen. My husband had scar tissue from a previous vasectomy and reversal. Some people might conclude that my experience with Kathleen and our first pregnancy was a coincidence, but with my husband, we saw tangible proof that his sperm count and quality improved after Mayan Massage.
I would highly recommend Mayan Abdominal Massage to anyone experiencing fertility issues or looking to improve their fertility. And I can personally recommend Kathleen as an experienced, compassionate provider to help you on your journey.”

“I had the good fortune a year ago to make an appointment with Kathleen Lawler. I had been suffering from multiple injuries to neck, upper back, knees and ankle making my life a misery, and hindering me from doing the things I love, such as walking and gardening, and staying in good general health. After the first few treatments, I started having real relief from constant neck spasm and pain. Over time, I have healed dramatically, gained confidence that I can manage any condition between treatments, and feel renewed. Kathleen is a delight to work with, as she is intuitively tuned to the needs of clients, has a wealth and breadth of experience and knowledge. She understands the true meaning of integrative health and can bring to bear many healing techniques, such as herbs and aromatic oils. I bless the day I came into her circle of influence.”

“I have had the great fortune of working with Kathleen these last ten years, first to alleviate menstrual symptoms, then to address various imbalances, I have come to rely on these sessions as part of my self care health maintenance. Kathleen has a true gift as a healer, and an incredible presence. She has helped me so much in so many ways. Everything she does is done with grace and compassion, and a wonderful warm sense of humor. She has a truly amazing talent of “meeting you where you’re at” in your healing journey and the intuition to guide you along as needed. Kathleen has a beautiful spiritual side that has helped me tremendously, and the sacred space that she creates in her sessions is comforting and wonderful and peaceful. Being in session with her is like being in a beautiful garden or beloved place, where all stress and troubles have been left behind! She puts all her knowledge and tools in to the healing process whole-heartedly. My life is better because Kathleen is in it.”
