Massage & Bodywork

A woman giving a massage to a person lying on a massage table in a room with beige walls, decorative art, and a small shelf with vases and plants.

Drawing from 26 years of experience as a massage therapist, I combine clinical knowledge with intuitive touch in every session. I incorporate a range of therapeutic modalities, including integrative massage and bodywork, transformational neuromuscular therapy, sound healing, assisted stretching, massage cupping, trigger point therapy, craniosacral therapy, Ortho-Bionomy®, and myofascial therapy.

I especially love tuning into the nervous system. In hands-on sessions, I work with muscle and connective tissues, lymphatics, and the circulatory system, while mindfully supporting the parasympathetic nervous system. This supports all of our body’s restorative (rest and repair) functions, while deepening relaxation in the physical body, and cultivating a state of greater freedom, ease and connection.

By encouraging clients to connect with the breath, and by bringing conscious awareness to areas of held tension, I support each person in their own process of releasing and healing from within.

Clients with held trauma in the body can trust that they will receive compassionate, knowledgable support should emotional releases arise during a session.

Some benefits may include:

  • A greater sense of connection, freedom and ease

  • Reduced tension and/or physical pain

  • Less stress, and lower emotional reactivity

  • Improved healing and tissue repair

  • Better digestion

  • Better sleep

  • "Katie has a wonderful intuitive touch and marvelous technique. After her massage, my body performs much better and I feel great! Katie is focused, caring and professional. She's sensitive to my mood during a session, talking only when appropriate or when I'm feeling chatty. Highly recommended."

    Graham Ullrich

  • "Katie is so good that I won't get a massage from anyone else....I don't even have the words to express how good she is."

    David Baxter

  • "I have been a client of Katie's for over two years and Katie is the best massage therapist I have ever been to (and I have been to many, literally, all over the world). She is a very good listener and always addresses my questions and concerns. I love that she can be flexible with my needs, some days working very deep and some days just working certain problem areas. I also enjoyed many prenatal massages with Katie and, as always, it was such a treat and so incredibly helpful to my pregnancy to have her as my massage therapist!"

    Karla College

  • "Katie has been my massage therapist for ten years. She is absolutely the best! The deep tissue work is a wonderful relief for tired muscles during periods of high physical activity. At other times, just the therapeutic benefits of increased relaxation and stress reduction are the perfect remedy. Katie addresses either equally well. She is a highly skilled and caring professional...and gets my highest recommendation."

    Bob Colvey

  • "My wife and I love to visit. Whenever we do, the absolute highlight of our trip is a massage by Katie. We live in San Francisco and love to treat ourselves with massage as often as possible. Without a doubt, Katie's massages are the best we've ever had. We wish she lived closer!"

    Jim Hewitt

  • "After several weeks of physical therapy and treatment by other massage therapists, I found my way to Katie. Katie did more for me in three sessions than all my other treatments combined. I cannot recommend her highly enough."

    Sam Hammons

  • "Katie has perfectly magic hands. I thought I was going to live with this shoulder pain forever. Nothing helped before I came to Katie, not even the doctors.
