Kathy Prendergast, Licensed Massage Therapist – 716-560-7315
I’m extremely excited to be the newest member of the Blackbox Wellness team! After a long career requiring travel throughout Western New York, I am Incredibly grateful to Jess and Steve for inviting me to practice close to home in such a beautiful, positive environment.
A graduate of the University of Buffalo, I am also a seasoned Registered Occupational Therapist – a profession that addresses physical, mental and emotional health to foster independence in daily living. My experience includes working in acute mental health, as well as independent practice as a subacute rehabilitation consultant, clinical instructor and mentor, outpatient therapist, and home-based OT.
After receiving treatment myself, Massage Therapy really piqued my interest as being a critical skill for calming the nervous system, minimizing pain, restoring mobility and function, as well as stimulating circulation for healing and lymphatic function for detoxification and immunity. I graduated from the New York Institute of Massage in 2001. Since then, I maintained a private Massage Therapy practice in addition to my “day job”. I utilized Massage as part of OT treatment and was amazed at the positive impact it had on patient recovery, function, health and success. It was a wonderful complement to OT!
Now retired from OT, Massage Therapy has been my sole focus and passion. It is tremendously rewarding be able to facilitate my clients’ ability to heal themselves and grow healthier. I offer a wide range of personalized, integrated therapeutic massage treatments tailored to meet your specific needs.
From Swedish, Lomi Lomi, and hot stone assisted deep tissue work; to select myofascial, craniosacral and medical massage techniques, every session is designed to nurture your body and mind. Take the first step to begin your journey toward a healthier, more relaxed, pain free you!

Infrared Sauna
- Detoxification. Sweat out the toxins. Sweating is one of the body’s safest and most natural ways to heal and maintain good health by helping to eliminate toxic heavy metals, drug residues, and hormone disruptors. With the deepest penetration, Sunlighten saunas’ infrared helps increase blood flow and perspiration.
- Weight Loss. Increase metabolism and burn fat. Increasing core body heat increases calorie burn, similar to exercise. Infrared saunas also help with the elimination of toxins that cause fat storage.
- Heart Health. Improve heart health. Infrared therapy can help your heart work better by exercising the heart, temporarily reducing blood pressure, and improving circulation.
- Anti-Aging. Purify and rejuvenate your skin. Harness a scientifically-proven “fountain of youth” and revitalize your skin’s appearance. Far infrared waves increase circulation and detoxify the skin, helping regenerate and cleanse cells.
- Immunity. Heating the body from inside can improve the function of the immune system just like a fever can. Therefore, regular Sunlighten sauna use can help reduce the incidences of cold and flu, or help you recover faster from illness.
- Muscle Recovery. Repair muscles faster. Many professional athletes use Sunlighten saunas to recover from their training and injuries. Infrared helps deliver more oxygen to cells for faster repair and pain relief.
