Hi! I'm Katie. I’m a hypermobile*, licensed manual therapist looking to make myself - and you - feel better! I’ve been licensed since 2018 and use massage and bodywork integrated with movement to help athletic recovery, relieve tight fascia and muscle tissue, increase blood circulation, and overall, therapeutic touch just feels good. Release the serotonin!

A typical session with me depends on your goal(s):

Unwind and relax from your hectic daily routine
Facilitate healing due to trauma, accident, illness, or injury
Prepare for or recover from a major sporting event, like a marathon, spo
rts match, and daily training
Use of tools as necessary deemed by treatment. Tools include but are not limited to cups, gua sha & IASTM-specific instruments, bamboo, etc.
Learn self care tips so you can feel better in between sessions & improve your athletic performance & recovery or manage your pain

Important note regarding session time:
Everyone's time is important. All sessions are priced by session time, not treatment time. Sessions will include intake & assessment as necessary (even returning clients need assessment, to track progress or new issues), and time for you to prepare for your session, physically & mentally. This includes un- & re-dressing, getting on & off the table, and taking time to unplug and focus on yourself. Your treatment will only work if you are willing to accept it; healing isn't a spectator sport.

*What is hypermobile? Simply put, it’s a connective tissue disorder that makes me extra bendy. It affects lots of people - many gymnasts, dancers, circus performers, etc. have EDS, and while it’s a cool party trick, the spectrum of disorders can negatively affect the body in many ways. See ehlers-danlos.com/what-is-eds for more information.
