Start Here

You've found your way here — maybe through a Google search of “Massage in Portland, Maine”, or a friend's recommendation, or maybe a quiet sense that your body is asking for something different. Whatever brought you, welcome.

You might be curious about how we can work together.

Let’s start at the very beginning, a very good place to start…

Your body's story guides our work. Every session is personalized, weaving together Structural Integration, Craniosacral Therapy, Abdominal Bodywork, Myofascial Release, and Massage Therapy to meet you exactly where you are.

This page is here to help you find the best first step — no pressure, no agenda.

What brings you here?

"I'm in pain and I want real, lasting relief."

You've probably tried massage, chiropractic, maybe physical therapy. You've had moments of relief but nothing has really stuck. If that sounds familiar, Structural Integration is likely what you've been missing.

Unlike massage (which works on muscles) or chiropractic (which focuses on joints), Structural Integration works with your fascia — the connective tissue that holds your entire body together. When fascial patterns are reorganized, the changes aren't just felt in the moment. They last.

Our aches and tensions don't build in an hour — and while it won't take just one session to resolve them, it also doesn't have to take a lifetime.

Best starting point: The 3-Session Intro Series A genuine introduction to the work, addressing the outer sleeve of your body. Most people feel a noticeable shift by session two. If you want to continue into the full 12-Series from there, you can — but there's no pressure and no obligation.

"I'm curious but not sure if this is right for me."

That's completely fair — this work is different, and it's worth understanding before you commit. The best thing you can do is book a free 15-minute discovery call with Kat.

You'll get to ask questions, share what's going on in your body, and get a real sense of whether this work is a good fit. No sales pitch. Just a conversation.

"I just want to try a session and see how it feels."

Totally valid. A single session lets you experience the work — whether that's Structural Integration, Craniosacral Therapy, Abdominal Bodywork, or an integrative blend of whatever your body needs that day — without committing to a series.

Your first session begins with a thorough intake and a full body reading to understand your unique patterns. From there, I offer a personalized treatment plan so you know exactly what I'm seeing and where we might go together.

Many people come in for one session and find themselves wanting more. Some come regularly for maintenance. Either way, you're welcome here.

Your Pathways at a Glance

Not sure which modality is right for you?

Structural Integration (ATSI) — chronic pain, postural issues, scoliosis, injury recovery, feeling "off" in your body, wanting lasting change

Craniosacral Therapy — headaches, TMJ pain, stress, nervous system dysregulation, trauma, sleep issues, feeling wired or depleted

Abdominal Bodywork — digestive tension, bloating, constipation, menstrual pain, post-surgical scar tissue, pelvic imbalance, gut-held stress

Massage Therapy — tension, injury recovery, stress, or when you need to decompress and regulate

Integrative Session — not sure where to start, or you want Kat to assess and blend what your body needs most

Still unsure? That's exactly what the discovery call is for.

What to expect in your first session

Every session — whether it's your first or your twelfth — begins with presence. I take time to listen, observe, and do a thorough body reading before hands ever meet skin.

True, lasting change happens both on and off the table. The ways you move, rest, exercise, and process between sessions are an essential part of the work. I'll offer guidance along the way so the changes we make together have somewhere to land.

 General FAQs

  • Manual therapies like Structural Integration, Visionary Craniosacral Work, abdominal therapy, and other bodywork are not quick “fixes” for specific symptoms. Instead, they help your body become more balanced, adaptable, and supported.

    When your system is less restricted and better organized, symptoms—like migraines, back pain, digestive discomfort, or jaw tension—often improve, but everyone’s experience is unique. Healing is most effective when the work you receive in the session is reinforced by supportive changes in your daily life, such as movement, posture awareness, rest, or stress management.

    In other words, this work gives your body more freedom, resilience, and capacity, creating the conditions for lasting change. So a more accurate question might be:

    “Can this help my body find a better way to function?”

    The answer is usually yes.

  • I can accept HSA/FSA cards. I provide email receipts after each session, however I do not accept insurance nor can I bill insurance directly on your behalf.

  • New clients are encouraged to book at least a 75-minute session. This allows time for questions, a thorough Body Reading, and the creation of a personalized treatment plan.

    In most cases, your first session will be a Structural Integration-informed approach—combining gentle myofascial release and active participation on your part—with calming integration work at the end to help your body absorb and stabilize the changes. This gives you the best foundation for lasting results.

  • Yes! Massage is available for calming, restorative support when your energy is low and can be booked for any session length under the Session booking option. Many clients come seeking help for chronic pain, complex symptoms, or long-standing tension. If you’re ready to dive deeper into lasting structural and functional changes, I typically recommend starting with Structural Integration to help you feel grounded and supported from the inside out.

  • Yes! Techniques like ScarWork® and Bonework® can help release tension, improve mobility, and support structural alignment. They can be stand-alone sessions or incorporated into your Structural Integration series, depending on your needs.
