Catherine is a dedicated healthcare professional with dual licenses in massage therapy and physical therapy as an assistant. Her interest in massage therapy was sparked during her time as a Physical Therapy Assistant, where she witnessed firsthand the profound impact manual therapy can have on clients’ lives. This inspired her to pursue a career in massage therapy, deepening her commitment to other’s holistic well-being.

Catherine specializes in postural restoration and through her training in this approach, she has adapted her massage techniques to include manual therapy methods such as strain-counterstrain and deep tissue promoting a neuro-muscular response. This adaptive approach allows her to alleviate symptoms effectively, and can be used also when deep pressure is not tolerated or when clients’ central nervous systems are charged up.

Catherine believes in the importance of medical relaxation. She utilizes modalities that promote this, including Swedish massage, hot stone, or hot salt stone therapies, creating a soothing experience that fosters relaxation and overall well-being. She is currently getting certified in lymphatic drainage, and can soon be offering this as well.

Outside of her professional life, Catherine enjoys music, outdoors and water activities.
