Healing from the inside out...
Staying connected with your own body and the wisdom it offers can be a huge job, especially if you have a chronic health
condition.
Autoimmunity, chronic pain, hormonal issues, anxiety, depression, and a host of other symptoms can make it hard to
know what you need and how to get it. Or maybe you are in that no man's land where you have no idea what you are doing, why you are here, and what you need to do to feel more connected and alive. The "you" you once knew can feel like a stranger and it can be a monumental task to care for yourself when you just aren't the same.
Even simple reliable cues like hunger, exhaustion, or even movement can be a confusing puzzle. You might agonize about simple daily decisions. Should I rest or push through? Do I eat that bagel? Will my joints still love me if I go to the gym today?
Managing all of this can be incredibly frustrating. It’s easy to feel like your present struggle will be your forever future.
Take a deep breath.
You aren't lost, broken, or a doomed to a life of struggle. This is an opportunity for healing and growth.
You can feel like "you" again.

restoration
Imagine feeling deeply rested on a cellular level. What would it be like to have energy, vitality, a feeling of connectedness with every part of yourself? This is restoration.
Craniosacral Therapy is a hands-on light touch therapy which focuses on re-balancing the nervous system and allowing you to deeply rest, promoting self-healing on deep, transformative levels. |
Resilience
What if you knew you could be in any situation, encounter anything that comes your way, and know you've got this (and you won't be recovering for weeks because of it). This is resilience.
Somatic therapy is a process of healing that works through the body instead of the head. Where traditional therapy works by processing cognitively, somatic therapy uses touch, body awareness, and a "felt" sense of sensations to bring forth wisdom and healing to your mind and body. |
regulation
Envision a way of being where you aren't constantly on edge, waiting for the other shoe to drop. Balance, ease, a feeling of being settled in everyday moments. This is regulation.
Nervous System mentoring brings awareness to the profound impacts stress can have on health. You learn tools for resetting the stress response triggers that can lead to physical, emotional, and energetic dis-ease. |
thanks for showing up. Hi, I'm katy
I feel truly honored to help guide you in this complex path of healing from a chronic condition (and just as a side note, when I say "chronic condition" this can run the gamut of imbalances. You might feel just kindof off or you may be in the throws of a full-blown chronic health condition).
If you have been struggling to turn the corner in your healing journey, nervous system and somatic healing can be your missing link. It was for me.
I know what you are going through because I’ve been there. After receiving a diagnosis of Lyme disease that seemed to explain all of my mysterious symptoms, I felt relieved…and then I felt completely lost.
Every doctor and practitioner I went to had something different to say. I tried a lot of different protocols and supplements. I drank A LOT of celery juice (it was refreshing at first, then not so much!). I did keto, meditation, energy work and more.
But it wasn’t until I did a deep dive into the healing power of the nervous system, did I really turn the corner in my healing journey.
In my quest, I learned the ins and outs of nervous system health and the severe impact a chronic stress response can have on health. I also experienced the incredible benefits regulating this system can have.
Most importantly on my healing journey I really got that chronic physical symptoms always have deeper roots. Offering the gift of healing to these deeper parts of myself was the key piece to the recovery of my own health.
If there is one thing I want people to know who are struggling with a chronic illness, pain, or just plain struggling. It is this:
You aren't alone. There is a pathway forward. You really can feel better. I'm living proof.

What clients have to say...
"I came to Katy with ongoing persistent allergies and malaise. The first session I was not sure what she was doing. I had never had this kind of work done before, but I was open and trusting. By the third session I wanted to live on her table and eagerly looked forward to every appointment. She worked quietly and intuitively. Intensely listening to what my body needed. It was so refreshingly different from the medical doctors who seemed not to have the time or interest to get to the root of the problem. I had just about given up hope of ever feeling better when I came to her. I feel better now than I have in a decade or more. I have only the highest admiration, appreciation and recommendation for Katy." -Jason-
Time and time again when I bump into an area of my inner life where I need some support Katy is where I turn. I have been working with her for years. I deeply value her sensitivity, warmth and deep intuitive wisdom. She is a great guide on my journey inward and creates such a safe and loving space that I feel I can welcome anything that arises. That safety combined with her strong presence and wisdom allows for growth and breakthroughs on my part. I highly recommend working with her! -Jaime-
"I have received a series of ten Craniosacral treatments from Katy. The healing effects were astounding. Each time seems to build on each other and every session was transforming. Benefits were relaxation, pain relief, emotional release, and mental clarity. I approached this therapy with no expectations and was delighted to achieve improved health on many levels." -Kimberly.-
"I was diagnosed with bone spurs, stenosis and herniated discs in my neck and back many years ago. I have used and/or tried quite a few different techniques throughout the years to help the condition. Some were effective for pain control, but did not provide healing or lasting results. Then I tried Craniosacral Therapy. I wasn't quite sure how it worked, but I was willing to give it a try as I was really hurting. The severe pain in my neck and back was leading to symptoms of blurred vision, vertigo, and referred pain in my shoulders.
I'm so happy I took the plunge. The pain in my neck is gone! AND, I've been pain free for a couple of years now. Craniosacral Therapy has been a gentle but effective healing method for both my neck and back.
Katy is very intuitive and knowledgeable. She has a calming and soothing presence. She always provides valuable information and suggestions for me to take home, and reminds me about the importance of self-care. She really cares, and it shows in the quality of her work. One of the best decisions I ever made was to do Craniosacral Therapy with Katy!" -Sharron-
"I have been receiving Craniosacral sessions from Katy for over ten years. Katy is rich in knowledge and modalities that have always guided me to nourishing, lasting healing. She is a gentle, patient, and intuitive listener and has a gift at facilitating sessions that release stuck energy and tissues bringing me back to a true sense of fluidity and spaciousness. The after effects of sessions are long-lasting and leave me with a deep sense of peace." -Nanci-
