You are complex: Feeling better can be simple.

When I trained at the Mayo Clinic, I saw first hand what skilled massage therapy can do in the face of serious illness or injury. 

I specialize in working with people with cancer, fibromyalgia, and other serious or complex conditions ...
and just about everybody else.

Science provides the basis for my treatments, but intuition is my secret superpower.
Most of my clients ask me, "How did you know???"
I listen.
I listen to your words, to your muscles, and to your body's reaction to pressure, touch,...

I listen.
I listen to your words, to your muscles, and to your body's reaction to pressure, touch, and temperature. I'm quiet during your massage because I'm listening. All you have to do is relax.

REVIEWS for my Bodywork services

by Anonymous on Apr 06
Kate does a great job on my hips and glutes…a particularly challenging area… which I really appreciate.
by Tracy on Mar 23
Kate is so intuitive when it comes to where the pain is and how best to relieve it. It's magic and science in perfect harmony.
by Tracie on Mar 16
Kate is incredible!!! You don’t have to say a thing. She finds your spots and works on them. She’s a magician!
by Anonymous on Mar 09
Very professional and skilled at what she does.
by Janet on Mar 01
Kate is well versed in the do’s and don’t’s of handling chronic illness folks. I never have to worry about her or any of her staff trying some gung-ho new technique that will leave me unable to function for a few days (yes, it’s a real thing!). They are incredibly well informed and pride themselves on taking care of the person in front of them.
by Paola on Feb 17
She’s always the best 😊
by Mike on Feb 13
Kate is very highly skilled. I appreciated that she also asked questions and listened prior to the massage. I left feeling extremely relaxed.
by Randi on Feb 10
Kate’s skill in targeting the areas of the body that matter most to each individual is what strikes me most
by Erin on Feb 06
Excellent communication, skill, professionalism. My requests and focus on specific areas were heard and addressed beyond my expectations.
by Anonymous on Feb 02
Kate is awesome! I have a different person each time I've visited here, by choice, just to get a feel for personality and skill set they offer. Each experience has been great and Kate is no exception. She took time to listen to my needs, checked in during the massage to make sure I was comfortable and made recommendations at the end of the session. I highly recommend her!
