Therapeutic Benefits
We each have a unique history with our bodies.
Whether you are an athlete, work in construction or sit in front of a computer all day we all put daily stress and demands on our structure.
Sciatica, low back pain, tendinitis, chronic tension in the neck and shoulders… We accumulate these “knick-knacks” throughout our lives that take our bodies out of optimal alignment and equilibrium. We find ways to accommodate and compensate for these structural misalignments that result in whole-body patterns that are not as efficient as they could be. This requires energy just to remain upright in gravity that could otherwise be used for pursuing your goals in work or play, or simply living.
Although the therapist does not diagnose or “fix” problems, (the client does the healing) massage can help bring ease to some of the common holding patterns.
Because of its holistic approach, massage can also help to down-regulate the sympathetic “fight-or-flight” nervous system which can relieve issues people face with chronic stress such as tension headaches, sleeplessness and anxiety.
Testimonials
“Katrina is absolutely AMAZING - I highly recommend her!
I actually found her from a simple google search while visiting my mom in CA. Katrina was kind enough to see me on a Sunday (I'm sure she had better things to do). I just wish she lived here in Idaho where I reside - I'd see her every 3 to 4 weeks if I could. I've been having messages for the past 20 years due to an active lifestyle. Katrina is the first therapist that actually listens and implements all types of methods and tools to help heal the body - She's not just a highly glorified "lotion application" specialist. She's a healer and highly intelligent too! Look no further and book an appointment now.
I came in with a neck/shoulder injury Katrina identified exactly what was taking place and worked her magic. Last night was the first time in 4 weeks that I've slept through the night. That is amazing! Again, I just wish she was here in Idaho, Katrina you're the best - seriously! Every time I visit I'll be sure to book time with you.
P.S thanks for the list of neck exercises and notes for the next therapist I find out here - good luck to them as you've set the bar high and I'll be comparing them all to you for now on.
Thank you.”

“Katrina was amazing, she took the time to find out what area needed attention and went to work! I started off in pain, and ended with the relief I needed. I will be on a regular schedule with her here on out! Thank you!”
