Praise for Deep Relief: Kathy’s Deep Relief treatment is like a full body reset. I had areas of chronic pain and levels of discomfort that had become so habitual I had forgotten I was steeling myself against them. Without provoking that pain at all, she touched the patterns of holding in my body, releasing my protective clenching and released the pain I had come to think was normal. I got off the table feeling truly, deeply, relieved, and that relief sustained well beyond that hour and day…. F.B.

2.5 hour session, $250
Praise for Deep Reset: I’ve always appreciated the knowledge and care Kathy brings to each treatment. Recently my experience of the Deep Reset body therapy brought a profoundly settling to my whole being. I arrived in a very distressed state. She facilitated a caring space of presence, meeting me where I was and, through her therapeutic touch, allowed me to rest deeply. This rest allowed me to release my distress and experience myself at peace. I’ve often recalled the feeling in my body and return to it as a resource…. S.A.
