Kate is the Owner and Founder of The Austin Bodyworker. She has come to Austin, Texas via Massachusetts, where she had been in practice for approximately 4 years at a revolutionary massage clinic in downtown Boston. This was a clinical massage-only office, staffed by therapists serious about treating and educating the public about what massage can really do for them and help them be a part of their own rehabilitation. She was fortunate enough to work with some very gifted therapists and get in on the ground level of an exciting new niche in clinical massage therapy. She was also able to meet and work with dynamic clients who helped shape her practice. Kate takes a medically-based approach to dealing with the various postural, gait and neuromuscular injuries and dysfunctions she has come across. She has been brought in on training programs to help eliminate and/or alleviate symptoms of over-training and poor-training habits. Over the years, the clients Kate has worked with has run the gamut—from professional, elite and amateur athletes and triathletes to weekend warriors and desk jockeys. She has also had extensive experience with RSI’s (repetitive stress injuries) and other common office injuries such as TOS (thoracic outlet syndrome) and carpal tunnel syndrome. She takes a lot of pride in the success she has had in teaching clients what they can do on their own on a daily basis to decrease or eliminate environmental factors that may also contribute to some of their pain. Pregnancy clients are also a source of joy for Kate, who enjoys being able to help take some of the discomfort, stress and pain away from a woman’s body in a state of constant change. Kate believes that keeping the lines of communication open and relaxed is the best way to educate each client about the best way to help them live, work and perform at their full potential each day. She enjoys answering client questions and helping them become more involved in their quality of life.

In September 2008, Kate and her husband welcomed their daughter Ava into the world. Kate loves being a mom and is looking forward to discovering all the great adventures Austin has to offer for her and her family. In October 2010, Kate will be running her first half-marathon for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Team in Training, the Nike Women's Half/Full Marathon in San Francisco, CA! Training in the heat of summer in Austin will be a challenge, but after working with others who have done the training--Kate feels up for the challenge! Fingers crossed!
