PROFESSIONAL MASSAGE FOR HUMANS & ANIMALS.

General Info

My name is Skya Fisher, and I am a Licensed Massage Therapist with my office in Bellingham, WA. I offer many styles of massage: Deep Tissue, Swedish, Reflexology, Traditional Thai Yoga Massage, Sports Massage, and a bit of Trager. I am also a Third Degree Reiki practitioner. I am certified in Manual Ligament Therapy as well, which you can read about below. Please ask if there is a style you are looking for, as I may know it. I have a background in dance and martial arts, and these disciplines have offered me opportunities to work with injury, and to discover healing techniques that work for most people. I practice Vipassana style meditation, which shapes the mindfulness I bring to my sessions. I like to work slowly and specifically, in rhythm with the breath, focusing on each unique being who seeks my help. I do not use music during sessions, but rather teach breathing and sensory awareness as a way to reduce uncomfortable sensations, as well as teaching you some of your basic anatomy, which gives some moxie to visualizations of stress and tension disappearing. I am also a licensed Small Animal Massage Practitioner and Large Animal Massage Practitioner. I have a degree in Animal Behavior and over 20 years of experience working with domesticated and wild animals. Animal massage therapy goes beyond merely petting an animal; there are specific techniques to reduce injuries and induce a calmer demeanor. Animals enjoy the same benefits of massage as humans do! Cat Paws is focused on being Earth-friendly: all products are organic, biodegradable, not tested on animals, and most equipment is purchased used. I use only organic, unrefined coconut oil, which is the healthiest form of fat you can absorb, because it does not go rancid at room temperature. Thank you for stopping by. I look forward to seeing you for a treatment A session at Cat Paws is customized to what a client wants and needs, spanning the spectrum from pure relaxation to pure injury treatment. I mix a variety of techniques that relax muscle spasms, flush toxins through the circulatory system, and re-condition the nervous system’s holding patterns. A muscle in motion cannot remained clenched, so much of my work incorporates rocking, vibrating, and jostling to relax tissue tension. In addition to the common Swedish and Deep Tissue modalities, my continuing education has included Beginning Trager, Traditional Thai (Assisted Yoga), and Reflexology of the feet. I am also a Third Degree Reiki practitioner, and include energetic healing when appropriate. Guided imagery helps you learn to pay attention to every sensation in your body, so that you can feel where tension may be lurking, and helps you start to identify it forming out in the rest of your life, so you can let it go.
