Kathy brings a clinically focused, integrative approach to massage therapy, with a special interest in addressing musculoskeletal conditions. She specializes in focused deep tissue massage, using precise pressure to release long-held tension and restore ease to the body.
Kathy is originally from Erie, Pennsylvania and attended Penn State for undergraduate and graduate studies in Economics. Enthusiastic about health and wellness, she began teaching Yoga in 2004, eventually becoming a Structural Yoga Therapist in 2006. When appropriate, she incorporates stretching into her massage therapy sessions and Yoga poses into her recommendations. Kathy values an integrative approach to client care, often working directly with chiropractors and other wellness practitioners to devise comprehensive, individualized treatment plans. She enjoys working with complex issues, especially lower back, neck and shoulder pain, and thoracic outlet syndrome.
Kathy is Nationally Board Certified and Licensed in the State of Maryland. She is certified in Prenatal Massage and is trained in Visceral Manipulation with the Barral Institute. She has continued her education in Oncology Massage, Scar Tissue Management, and Lower Back Pain Assessment and Treatment. Kathy works in our Rockville office on Saturdays and Germantown on Wednesdays and Fridays.
