- Mrs. LI received a massage as a gift from a family in my class. I am spoiled, obviously! 😍 Kathy's massage was the best I have ever had in my life. She is professional, calm, and so kind. All details are thought of, each of her actions service a purpose. She checks in regularly. The location is intimate, feels safe and private. It is absolutely an indulgence and therapeutic. Fantastic.
- Lanie BKathy is a highly skilled master of massage! And the environment looks and feels like a sanctuary! Kathy listens carefully during the check in and reflects accurately on how I’m experiencing my body. She’s empathetic and encouraging and I feel good about managing my migraines and other problem areas. I appreciate how/when Kathy checks in during the massage while monitoring her use of pressure. I really like how Kathy approaches the muscular structure of the body —when I arrive my body feels like separated parts which have various degrees of pain and when I emerge from the table I feel unified and pain free. The entire massage experience with Kathy feels more like a retreat!
- Jennifer SKathy has elegant hands and an empathic ear and heart. I inhabit a chronically torqued spine and her deep work was incredibly helpful. It changed the vertical landscape for several days, which is considerably longer than the usual few hours' relief that has been my normal experience of bodywork.
