About Us
"As soon as healing takes place, go out and heal somebody else." - Maya Angelou
Like many of you, I have experienced overuse and accident related injuries over the years. Massage therapy has been an important part of my self care and has really allowed me to keep doing the activities I love. Empowering clients to do what they love through the gentle healing power of massage therapy is what keeps me inspired.
I am honored to be part of your wellness.

Katherine is an amazing massage therapist and I always come out of my massages feeling wonderful. I used to have a lot of neck pain and since I started having regular massages, I have rare episodes!

What an amazing experience. Katherine was caring but also made sure that the treatment took care of all of my aches and pains. It's a bit of a drive for me to get to her but it is well worth it!

I definitely recommend Katherine for a great massage! I was lucky to get a massage within 2 days of booking as someone cancelled an appointment. The pressure was right - and i felt so relax after the massage. She added cupping as I felt in the past helped me to release some areas in my back.

I had a great experience with Katherine! Everything was very covid-safe and thorough in that regard, and the massage was the perfect combination of relaxing and therapeutic. I left feeling really soothed and relaxed but also relieved to have those deeper, tighter muscle groups worked on. Thanks again, Katherine!

I had a very particular focus on low back pain that I have been working with a physical therapist on treating. Katherine put together a specific plan to address my issues. This included deep tissue work and stretching. This is definitely what I needed!

Massage therapy has been a life long necessity due to chronic computer work and related poor posture. Having been to many therapists over the years the bar is set high and Katherine does an excellent job exceeding those expectations each and every time. She provides a very relaxing and comfortable atmosphere where she incorporates both traditional and focused therapies. She is a very talented therapist and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a qualified and caring professional.
