Katherine has spent the past 15 years studying a variety of alternative healing modalities.
She has chosen to emphasize bodywork and energy work because of their immediate and profound  effect on the stress levels of her clients. We all deal with stress on a daily basis. Katherine has found that, by touching feet and hands or working within the body's energy field, these " touch " modalities  elicit a deep relaxation response which shifts the nervous systems and allows our body to begin to repair and heal itself.

Reflexology

Reflexology is an ancient healing art that helps release tension, improve circulation, boost immunity and bring the body back into balance.

The feet and hands have reflex points that correspond to each of the body's systems including organs such as the heart, liver, thyroid and adrenals. By applying pressure to these points the body’s own healing ability is triggered to release energy blocks and restore normal function.

Reiki

A reiki treatment feels like warm, gentle sunshine which flows through you, surrounds you and brings comfort and calm on a physical,emotional and spiritual level. Katherine's hands bring this life force energy to you by placing her hands in various positions above your body as you relax on a massage table.

Reiki energy rebalances your energy, reduces stress and relaxes the body and can help with pain relief.

Indian Head Massage

Gentle Ayurvedic massage techniques are used on the upper back, neck, head and face while the client is seated in a chair. The massage is deeply calming yet leaves you revitalized. It is especially effective for stress, tension, insomnia, headaches and sinusitis.

Healing Touch

Healing Touch uses touch to influence the human energy system that surrounds the body and the energy centers that control the energy flow from this energy field to the physical body.

These non-invasive techniques utilize the hands to clear, energize, and balance the human and environmental energy fields affecting physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health and healing.

 The goal in Healing Touch is to restore harmony and balance in the energy system placing the client in a position to self heal.
