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 ...

Science provides the basis for my treatments, but intuition is my secret superpower.

REVIEWS for my Bodywork services

by Deborah on Jan 25
She kept me warm and comfortable. When repositioning, always made sure I was still comfortable. Helped me relax and let my troubles drift away.
by Jeff on Jan 04
Kate always makes you feel comfortable and has a way of really helping my body- I have a physically challenging job and hurt a lot. I have tried other therapists but no one compares to Kate. Never will I waste money with anyone else!

The entire experience is amazing.

Katie helps me know that for one hour I have nothing to do but relax. She makes sure the pressure is perfect.

Personable, professional, clearly cares about her clients, individualizes massage not only from person to person but from session to session by listening to her clients and asking clarifying questions to make sure she understands the needs and wants of the person on her table. Thanks!!
