Wellness with Katie

Holistic physical therapy, John Barnes Myofascial Release technique, pelvic floor physical therapy, womb wellness, vaginal steaming, and Wellness with Katie are all approaches to health and wellbeing.

My goal is to work with you to achieve your personal health goals. I strongly believe that the physical body cannot be treated effectively without considering the mind and soul. If you have only experienced temporary relief from traditional physical therapy or massage, I invite you to my practice. Together, we will identify the root cause of your discomfort. This is where true healing begins.

For over a decade, Katie has been providing me with myofascial release therapy. This technique has not only relieved my chronic neck pain, but it has also helped me to address the emotional trauma that had become stuck in my body due to surviving domestic abuse. I was unaware that this was even possible until she used myofascial release to help me understand that a lot of the physical pain I was experiencing was actually emotional pain that was trapped within my fascia. I believe this to be one of the most remarkable and underutilized treatments available. Katie's intuition is remarkable; she knows exactly which areas of the body require attention. She is compassionate and creates a safe and secure environment for her patients. I highly recommend her to everyone I know (and even those I don't) who are suffering from both physical and emotional pain. Katie is a true healer.

Katie is an incredibly knowledgeable and caring person. I have found Myofascial Release to be very beneficial to me, and she has also helped me with vertigo issues and helped me set up an exercise program. She is a great source of knowledge about women's health and I would highly recommend her as the best physical therapist in the area for Myofascial Release, pelvic floor therapy, or any other women's health related issues.

I asked myself, "How can I summarize 23 years of this journey in a few sentences?" When Katie requested that I narrate our experience as a patient and therapist, I was unsure if I could do it. Nevertheless, I will try my best.

I have been working with Katie for nearly 10 years. In 1998, I was diagnosed with a chronic pain disorder that was very disabling. For 15 years, I was determined to find something that would help me live without pain or at least reduce it. I was committed to doing yoga, walking and strength training. I also had physical therapy, massage and chiropractic treatments, which helped to reduce the pain, but I still had to take Ibuprofen every day and still had flare-ups.

In 2013, my husband had to go through physical therapy, so our clinic arranged for him to see Katie. When he returned from his initial appointment, he asked me if I had ever had myofascial release therapy. I told him that many people had done that to me. He remarked, "I don't think you've ever experienced anything like what Katie does!"

This marked the beginning of my journey to true recovery! In the first year, I was given treatments twice a week and I was amazed at the results; I no longer had to take Ibuprofen. During the second year, treatments were administered once a week and I still felt healing and days without pain. As time went on, treatments were administered less often but the healing continued. Now, I am mostly free of pain. Although my condition is still chronic (aging is also a factor), I choose to visit Katie regularly (every two to three weeks). Her healing powers still amaze me! I wish I could explain it to you better, but no words can accurately describe her healing abilities.
