MY APPROACH
A little bit of background information…. about your choice of Therapist, me, Cate Manby and Why choose Cornwall Massage?
I trained in the discipline of Sports Massage Therapy after discovering and exploring many of the Magical and Holy Sites of Cornwall, when I first moved here in 2009. Whilst healing from a profound trauma incident, I committed to studying for four years with Cornwall College and qualified as a VTCT Level 3 and 4 Sports Massage Therapist and Personal Trainer in 2012.
I had suffered years of CPTSD, Fibromyalgia, Migraines, and panic attacks, however with ongoing daily and weekly Yoga and Massage Therapy practise, my body and mind gradually healed.
I combined my studies with Emotional Freedom Technique and Matrix Reimprinting with the renowned and lovely Marazion-based Therapist, Wendy Stoten.
The degree level qualification covered Swedish, Deep Tissue, Lymphatic Drainage, Trigger Point, K-Taping, Cryotherapy and Thermotherapy, Infra-Red-Light Therapy and Warm Bamboo modalities.
The course combined both classroom learning and practice. I delivered 200 hours of practise before qualifying, attending various competitive surfing and running events as well as practise training events with The Big Dance Company based in Penzance. I continue to work with many of the same clients I originally started with.
Over the past decade-plus years of practice, I have gained additional experience qualifying in Indian Head Massage; Facials, Gua Sha and Yoga Kaya Chikitsa -an Advanced Therapeutic Tibetan Masso-Therapy.
YOGA PRACTICE
My Yoga practice currently includes 900 hours of Teacher Training approved by the International Yoga Alliance through the Traditional Yoga Healing Foundation with Dr Kumar: (RYT 500, 200 and 200hrs Yoga Meditation Teacher Training).
To provide context here, Dr Kumar grew up in the Spiti Valley of the Himalayas in Tibet with his formative years spent working with renowned teachers such as Krishnamacharya, B.K.S Iyengar and Swami Vishnudevananda, in addition to many highly accomplished Himalayan Yogis.
The birthplace of all the Massage and Yoga Therapies we find here in the West have their roots and are still practiced to this day in their purest form as the Yogananda Traditions of Massage and Yoga Therapy in Tibet.
