During the series, we explore whether your body can learn new patterns, freeing stuck areas so your system has more options and flexibility. Once your body is more adaptable, we focus on building stability and safety in these changes. From this stable foundation, your body can release deeper, long-held patterns and habits. Finally, we work on integrating these changes into your daily life, helping you make them your new normal.

Active engagement of the client, both in and outside of sessions, is essential for ensuring that these improvements are lasting.

Sessions are usually scheduled every 1–3 weeks to keep the momentum going. Many people find the best results when we meet every 1–2 weeks. If travel or illness interrupts your series, we can add a “stitch session” to get you back on track.

If you’re curious about the 12-series, start with the first 3 sessions. If you’re only able to commit to 3, there’s a specific 3-series we can do. Just note: if you later choose to continue into the full 12-series, we’ll begin again with session 1.

ATSI (Anatomy Trains Structural Integration) is based on the same foundational principles as Rolfing, developed by Dr. Ida Rolf, but it incorporates Tom Myers’ Anatomy Trains myofascial lines to guide the work.

While Rolfing focuses on overall body alignment and fascial release in a structured 10-session series, ATSI uses myofascial meridians to understand how tension and movement patterns travel through the body. This allows sessions to target specific patterns of restriction, improve movement efficiency, and enhance structural integration.

In short: Rolfing is the original method; ATSI is an evolution of Rolfing with a focus on myofascial anatomy and whole-body movement patterns.

It’s fine to receive sessions while on your cycle—just let Kat know if you’re experiencing pain or discomfort. A full series is not recommended during pregnancy, since your body is already focused on a very special project.

While massage often focuses on relaxing muscles and easing tension in a localized area, Structural Integration (SI) looks at the whole body and how it moves and functions as a system. SI works to reorganize posture, improve alignment, and restore balance, helping the body find more freedom, stability, and efficiency—not just temporary relief.

Myofascial release focuses specifically on loosening tight fascia—the connective tissue surrounding muscles and organs. Structural Integration may use myofascial release techniques, but it goes beyond just releasing tissue. SI is a systematic, full-body approach that includes movement, sensory awareness, and integration, helping your body learn new patterns of support and alignment so changes last.

Structural Integration is best received when wearing minimal clothing, such as underwear, a basic bra and shorts. For clients who wear bras, please choose one that gives as much access to the back and spine as possible. A two piece bathing suit is also appropriate. Most men receive the work in boxers, briefs or shorts. No one is compelled to disrobe beyond their comfort level, other options include form fitting clothing such as running shorts, sports bra or close fitting tank top. Spandex is okay if it’s the only option, but not ideal. On the day of your appointment, please do not apply moisturizers, lubricants, creams or oils to your skin, as it will impede our work together.
