Two years ago I had an auto accident that injured my back, neck and pelvic area. After 5 months of intensive physical therapy, I was still only managing the pain. That’s when I decided to try massage therapy and found Kathi. What a difference she made! I started with massage, then tried the cranial sacral therapy. What a relief. Kathi’s ability to read my body, then alleviate the pain was more than amazing. I would walk out pain free.
I have received excellent care from Kathi during my pregnancy. She is very knowledgeable and genuinely cares about me as a person. When I’m at an appointment with Kathi I don’t feel like just another client, she listens to my input and will work with me to help relieve any problem areas or make modifications to make sure I am comfortable and even give suggestions for me to use at home. From my sessions with Kathi I have noticed that I sleep better and that I even have had significant relief from migraines. I appreciate the little thoughtful touches that Kathi has to offer.
