Kathy Hees, CMP

After 20 years of working in the electronics industry and bookkeeping, I decided I needed a big career change. I wanted to be doing something that felt more rewarding to me and that was helpful to others. I was introduced to massage years ago while seeing a chiropractor for neck problems due to work, and so became aware of its many benefits. Having had a lot of massage, I felt I could use that experience to create a new career for myself.

After completing the Swedish Massage program at Twin Lakes College, I knew working in a clinical environment would suit me best and enrolled in the Clinical program at Twin Lakes. Since then, I have continued my education and taken classes in myofascial release with some emphasis on cranial sacral release.

My massage is a combination of soothing Swedish strokes, deep tissue clinical work, and pressure point releases. I have been working since graduating in June 2001 and have found the work very rewarding. When not working, I enjoy hobbies such as gardening, knitting, reading, baking and mosaic tile work.

Laura Friend

I became interested in practicing massage after many years of being on the receiving end. The practitioners seemed to be enjoying their work so much. A lifechanging trip to England made me realize that it was time to study massage, and I signed up with the Twin Lakes College of Healing Arts as soon as I returned. I have been practicing since 1996 and love it.

My background is in pharmacy and I have a B.A. in Sociology from the University of California Santa Cruz. When I'm not working, I enjoy nature, cooking, entertaining, music, travel, film, humor and good conversation. Swedish, Deep Tissue, Polarity and some Shiatsu are my specialties.
