Hi, I’m Kate-Lynn McKenzie

I’m the human behind Flowing Roots Wellness!

  • Massage therapist for almost 10 years

  • Lymphedema and lymphatic drainage enthusiast

  • Oncology and Trauma Informed

  • Lifelong learner with an endless curiosity about how the body works

When I'm not helping clients feel more comfortable in their bodies, you'll usually find me researching lymphatics, tackling home renovations, getting lost in a good book, or convincing myself I definitely need another plant.

I built Flowing Roots Wellness around the idea that therapeutic care can be grounded in an evidence informed approach, have the ability to adjust to individualised needs and be deeply supportive, all at the same time. My massage approach is simple: listen first, treat the whole person, and make sure you leave knowing more about your body than when you arrived.

Whether you're recovering from surgery, managing swelling, navigating cancer treatment or recovery, carrying stress, or simply needing a quiet place to exhale for an hour, my goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely cared for, supported, and empowered.

Thanks for being here and supporting this little dream of mine!


My Approach

Client Centered Focus and Care

  • Whole person care. You are more than symptoms and diagnoses

  • Thoughtful, individualised treatment

  • Guided by both evidence and experience

  • Comfort, communication and informed consent at every step

  • Support for both your body and nervous system

  • Trauma Informed care that meets you where you are

At Flowing Roots Wellness, care is grounded in thoughtful, individualised treatment that works with the body rather than against it. Sessions are adapted to your needs, comfort level, goals, and nervous system capacity on the day of treatment.

Education & Empowerment

  • Education that helps you understand your body, not just your symptoms

  • Building knowledge that empowers long term wellness

  • Collaborative care and informed choices

  • Practical tools for life beyond the treatment room

  • Homecare recommendations and movement support

Blended Treatment Strategy

  • Therapeutic massage for pain, tension, and mobility support

  • Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) for swelling, recovery, and lymphatic support

  • Oncology informed modifications for safe, supportive care

  • Myofascial release and myofascial cupping

  • Active release and pin and stretch techniques

Evidence Informed Approach

  • Guided by research but shaped by hands on and client experience

  • Lifelong learning and professional growth

  • Individualised care informed by current evidence

  • Balancing science, experience, and client goals

  • Moving beyond trends and towards meaningful, effective care

Every session is designed to be responsive, grounded, and personalized - because no two bodies, experiences, or healing journeys are exactly the same.
