I worked with Katie over the course of a few years. A few times I saw Katie completely uncomfortable in my body. I was walking with a limp. She worked on my legs. I felt such a release of tension! When I left her office I felt 20 years younger and she completely took care of the problem. I have seen Katie over the years for large and small issues. I have enjoy her sessions and always left feeling that my time and money were well spent. read more

Katie is awesome! Her approach, communication, and ability make each of my visits a joy. Whether I'm experiencing muscle fatigue, tightness, stress, or pain, she's able to directly address and alleviate my discomfort in whatever way it presents that day. I didn't expect this going into it, but I'm also new to the discipline. I highly recommend Katie if you're looking for getting this kind of work done! read more

I'm a bit of a body work novice. I've had maybe a dozen massages in my life and some PT after injuries, but that's it. Because of this, I didn't quite know quite what to expect from my time with Katie. I had heard good things about rolfing and was having pain in my shoulder and arms so I thought I'd give it a try. Well, I can say now, that it was fantastic. Katie is really good at what she does. I would recommend her work to anyone with minor aches and pains all the way to serious physical ailments. She does really good work. Here are some of the things I noticed during my session: 1. After I left, I felt like I could stand up straight with comfort for the first time in a really long time. I often slump over my computer and after my session with Katie, I could actually keep my body posture stable for several days after. 2. Everything Katie did during the session felt thoughtful and careful. She spent the first 15 minutes or our session doing a full assessment of my posture and body - and it made a real difference. I get nervous when people just start rubbing my back and shoulders without asking me anything or looking at how I stand or walk. I have had some injuries in the past and have been seriously hurt by massage therapists. My experience with Katie was very different. 3. Katie was super mindful about how I was feeling throughout the session. Before we started, she gave me a clear expectation of how much pain or pressure I should expect to feel and gave me explicit instructions about how I could signal to her if I was feeling pain or pressure beyond my comfort level. What a revelation! How many massages have I sat there in horrible pain without being able to express effectively to the therapist that they were hurting me! If only my doctors were so mindful. 4. Katie's office/work space is incredibly conducive to comfort, trust, and relaxation. It light and airy and it smells nice. It's wonderful. There's nothing worse than lying on a massage table in a room with no windows and weird ambient lighting listening to the world's loudest pan flute solo! It was a real relief to be somewhere that actually took the phrase "healing space" seriously. It really makes all the difference. read more

I had never had any Rolfing done before, so I didn't know what to expect. I felt so relaxed after so I decided to go for a gentle stroll through my favorite redwoods in the Oakland hills. The combination of the woods and energy work Katie did left me feeling( excuse the term), blissed out. I normally don't use words like that freely, but I felt high! Katie is the bomb and I look forward to another session with her. read more

This is one of those situations where you feel so good you wanna shout it from the rooftops! :) I love being proved wrong. I was totally skeptical about Rolfing as a way to alleviate some serious lower back pain I'd been struggling with for about a year that was getting progressively worse. I am currently in between sessions 4 and 5 of a 10 session regime with Katie and I haven't had any lower back pain for the last 10 days. People close to me have been saying I am holding myself differently and that I seem more confident. I let my hips swing when I walk and I don't feel as rigid and controlled. There is more fluidity and ease in the way I hold myself. So, low and behold I'M A BELIEVA!! :) A session with Katie is truly healing, grounding, and relaxing. She's incredibly knowledgeable but I can tell she has an intuitive sense of the body. She guides me on how to walk and sit which sounds silly but it's incredibly helpful! I leave her office feeling like my body is one cohesive unit working together, integrated and calm. Her office is really cozy and clean. She makes me laugh and is always really welcoming. GO SEE THIS WOMAN NOW! :) read more

Katie is an intuitive body healer. She listens and responds to both verbal and non-verbal feedback given. This might sound like an easy thing to find, trust me it is not. To have a person you just meet hear what you are saying is happening in your body and work from a place of partnership to create healing, that is a gift. Katie has this gift. Thank you, Katie! read more

Katie is amazing!! Incredibly knowledgeable, professional, insightful and skilled, her deep understanding of the human body and it's alignment and structure shines through in her assessment and treatment. Since starting her 10 session series I have noticed my body feels freed up, more supported, less tense, and is able to move easily and with significantly less pain. She also is educating me on how to hold my body properly in my day-to-day activities to help my overall health and alignment. I can't wait to feel my new body after the series is complete, thank you Katie for helping me live in my temple more comfortably :-) read more

I found Katie on her posting on Next Door about her services. I have had many massages and chiropractic work done for years and never had the success after one session as I did with Katie. I had always heard Rolfing was quite painful; however, my neck and shoulders were to the point I would try anything. First it is NOT painful. Katie listens, asks lots of questions and is very compassionate about your body issues. She is slow and methodical, works deep but gently - always checking in to the pressure. I have had three sessions and feel so much better. I plan to go through the 10 series for an entire body workover and hopefully make gains in overall body fluidity At 60, the body doesn't work the way it used to! read more
