Katherine completed her therapy education at The Connecticut Center of Massage Therapy in Westport, CT, in 2000.

Katherine will most often use a combination of 3 techniques: Myofascial Release technique, which is very slow moving deep pressure, to assist in releasing adhesions in the muscle; NMT (Neuromuscular Treatment), which works the tendons of the muscle first then the muscle belly; and ART (Active Release Technique), which releases muscle fibers throughout the muscle by using sustained pressure in conjunction with contracting and relaxing the muscle. These techniques combined assist in structurally rebalancing the body. There are no creams or oils used in this type of therapy, and depending on the needs of the client, specific areas of the body are addressed.
