Hello! My name is Katie Jamieson. Breath of Freedom is my licensed massage therapy and Trauma Touch Therapy (TTT) practice inside Alchemy Healing Arts in South Bend, IN.

I love the hands-on healing nature of massage therapy. I love how this work requires a very focused and intentional physical presence, a contrast to my other work of writing and editing. Since my teen years, I have enjoyed expressing care to others through massage, and after more than 10 years working full-time in journalism, marketing and communication, I decided to become a licensed massage therapist and Trauma Touch Therapist.

Trauma Touch Therapy is a somatic pathway to befriend the body even when it hurts, through breath, touch, movement, and play. Together we create a space of curiosity and exploration where we can uncouple trauma and negative associations from sensations in the body, leading to more ease, expansion, and opportunity.

I am also a freelance editor, writer and poet.
