Katherine Preece

Katherine is a qualified Holistic Massage Practitioner who lives in Ledbury but practices in Malvern.
After completing a Psychology Degree, Katherine worked in the retail sector for 25 years until her parents’ health required more of her time.
During lockdown, Katherine decided to take a change of direction in her professional life. Massage therapy in recent years had become an important part of Katherine’s wellbeing, so much so that she decided to retrain as a massage practitioner.
Katherine trained at the Bristol College of Massage & Bodywork (BCMB) gaining a Diploma Level 4 in Holistic Massage Therapy.
In her practice, she works in accordance with a strict code of ethics and is committed to continuing professional development.
Katherine believes massage can have a hugely beneficial impact on everyone’s day to day life although she has particular interest in how massage can benefit sufferers of Parkinson’s Disease, and how regular massage can help deal with acute stress and anxiety. Katherine attends local support groups for Parkinson’s UK to give talks and demonstrations on the benefits of complementary therapy and volunteers at a local hospice offering massage therapy to Day Hospice patients.
As a holistic practitioner, Katherine sees you as a total person, mind, body and spirit and blends that into your massage experience. No two massages are the same. She uses a range of appropriate techniques which can include relaxation techniques, breathing, light touch massage, deep tissue massage, remedial and hot stones. Katherine will conduct a consultation ahead of each session to ensure you get exactly what you want and need from your time with her.
Katherine offers a safe space where your massage needs can be met both physically and mentally to help restore, rebalance, repair and reconnect.
Katherine is also a certified Oncology Massage therapist. Massage as part of your cancer journey can be hugely beneficial towards your overall wellbeing as well as provide a wealth of other benefits including deep relaxation, improved sleep, increased immune system function, relief of anxiety, reduced pain, reduced nausea and fatigue.
Katherine's latest offering is teaching Baby Massage to parents and/or carers. Introducing positive touch at a young age is incredibly important to support a child's growth and development. Massage also helps to improve the bonding process. Katherine teaches families on a 121 basis in her clinic or at their home, wherever baby feels most safe and comfortable.
