Kat Preston-Hynd

Having worked in spas I was hugely aware of all the things we were not taught and the ailments and injuries that we were told could not be touched. This frustrated me greatly and lead me to Jing where I learned and am still learning so much more about different pathologies, and chronic and acute ailments. I love to relax people but at the same time, I want the treatments to work. Jing allows me the knowledge to pinpoint exact pain patterns, muscles, stretches and exercises to get the best out of every treatment. I have a genuine love of massage and anatomy and will probably try to keep learning forever more!

Expertise

At present Kat enjoys treating injuries and chronic ailments primarily liking to focus on the neck, shoulders and lower back. Jing combines both eastern and western approaches to treatment and a relaxed, effective treatment which Kat emulates in her sessions.

Experience

Kat began her training in the beauty industry 18 years ago and worked in spas, including 5* Kohler Waters at St Andrew's Old Course and Fletcher’s Cottage on Archerfield Estate. She then went on to train in the clinical side of massage therapy and joined the physio clinic setting 5 years ago.

Life outside work

When I'm not at work I go to the gym, see my family, watch Grey's Anatomy endlessly and drink coffee!

My favourite thing

Drinking prosecco in Islay with my family and then eating the rarest steak ever
