My Story…
After many years working in an office, sitting behind a computer all day, everyday, I knew I had to make a change in my life. I needed something new. But I didn't know what. Then after losing both of my parents (only 2.5 weeks apart) I realized that life is too short to wait for "some day I'll____ " (fill in the blank with: think about a new career, eat better, lose weight, exercise more...) I knew in order to get healthier I had to make conscious changes.  I had to stop procrastinating and I had to "just do it"! Not just for my body, but for my spirit as well. I needed healing in my life and I wanted to share my healing journey with others. So I took a huge leap of faith and reduced my work schedule to just 1 day a week and I went back to school. First I got certified as a Reiki practitioner. This energy work was wonderful. It helped soothe my broken heart and it gave me a new found focus. But it wasn't enough. I needed something more hands on and physical. After a conversation with my chiropractor, I decided to study massage therapy. And I'm so glad I did. At times I feel as if a divine force is guiding me on this healing path. During my sessions, I feel that I am healing myself as well as my clients. It is truly a gift. And I am so happy that I get to share that gift with my clients.

Let me preface my experience with I was recently diagnosed with CPTSD. I'm in the middle of a divorce with a high conflict emotionally abusive human. Because of this abusive I had become ill with an autoimmune disorder 6 months ago. I was so mentally and physically drained not only was the body pain overwhelming but I couldn't regulate my emotions. I was struggling with cognitive decline and had zero bandwidth to fight through my divorce. I came into my first session with Kathy after countless therapy sessions and acupuncture. The first thing that I found amazing was her very through intake form. When I completed it I felt like she would have a true understanding of where I am both mental and physical. After reviewing all the paperwork and communicating what I was hoping for as an outcome, we got started. Kathy knew exactly what I needed and the relief was almost instant. It's been 24 hours and there is not a piece of my body or soul that doesn't feel better. I'm looking forward to many future appointments and I would recommended her to anyone who needs to find peace and comfort.
