Not just a practitioner - a human too

A space held by someone

who's walked the path of sensitivity, burnout, and healing

Not just a practice. A rhythm. A remembering.
This practice is rooted in the knowing that healing doesn't have to hurt.

I'm a Massage Therapist, space holder, and someone who knows what it feels like to carry too much. I've always been sensitive - attuned to energy, emotion, and the unspoken. That sensitivity, once overwhelming, is now the gift I bring  into my work.

​

This path came through lived experience: burnout, dysregulation, and the long, slow return to myself. I'm here to offer what I needed most - attuned, nervous system informed care for bodies that are tired, tender and holding so much.

Hi, I'm Katie

This work is personal

I’ve always been sensitive.

As a child, I was quiet, anxious, and deeply attuned to things most people overlooked. I had migraines by age seven, panic attacks in my teens, and spent much of my life feeling “different” without knowing why. It wasn’t until adulthood that I was diagnosed with ADHD—and that understanding gave language to a nervous system that had always felt the world too loudly.

 

I knew early on that I wanted to do work that helped people feel better. After a few years behind a desk in office administration, I left to study massage therapy—eighteen years ago now. That path led me not only into clinical training, but into something deeper: a reverence for the body as a landscape of memory, emotion, and intuition.

 

Today, my sessions are where the sacred meets the practical. I blend clinical understanding of anatomy with intuitive touch, creating space for the whole person—not just their muscles. My bodywork sessions weave together focused Massage Therapy,  Hot Stones, Cupping, Essential Oils, Reiki, and Sound. I also hold training in Trauma-Informed Coaching and Somatic Processing, which means I meet the nervous system with presence—not pressure.

A Glimpse Into My World

Integrity - & a Soft Spot for Misfits

I've spent most of my life trying to feel like I belonged and always gravitated to those who felt the same. Now I get to create spaces where others can exhale into their whole selves - no masks, no performance, Just presence, honesty, and deep care.

Spiritual, but Never Too Serious

I burn sage, I love sound healing, and I treat massage like a sacred art form - but I also love to laugh at ridiculous things, dance in my kitchen and speak fluent British sarcasm.

Music Is My First Language

Before I ever held space with my hands, I did it with my voice. I sing, I feel sound in my soul, and I believe music heals in ways words never could.

Presence over Performance

I don't believe in pretending to be someone else - what you see is what you get - empathy, warmth and a body-led approach that values intuition over intensity, always. 

If my vibe feels like what you've been looking for, I'd love to welcome you into my space.
