I am a seamstress by trade. I had been experiencing pretty intense shoulder and neck pain over the past year. I saw a therapist in a clinic for treatment with no improvement. Kathie’s unique approach reduced my pain by 95% with 3 visits.

Kathie came to my HOUSE and then my WORK and identified that the cause of my pain was a combination of: using the wrong chairs (both at work and home), and my positioning for sleeping and sitting on the couch! She even noticed that my limited vision was contributing to my neck issues, since I had to crouch down even more to see my stitches!

I was blown away by seeing the position of my head and shoulders in the videos she took of me!

Kathe did a thorough evaluation of my neck and shoulder, and treated both. She gave me exercises that I do in front of the mirror.

Because I have a strong belief in body-mind connection, Kathie used techniques to help me to recognize where and why I was carrying so much tightness in my muscles. She pointed out that my neck posture (usually my head forward and tilted to the side) returned to “normal” when I talked about my creative passions/dreams. For this reason, together we created positive affirmations that I now use regularly… which helps me stay more positive with less shoulder tension.

Kathie even met me at an offfice supply store and found the right chair for me to use! I LOVE this chair! My pain is 95% resolved. I know that without her comprehensive approach, I would still be suffering! Kathie not only CAN help… she does help!

“Kathie has a unique and gentle approach to caring for people and I am very thankful that I was referred to her for my therapy! Kathie’s positive attitude and gentle approach to healing is a gift and I am thankful to have experienced it. She believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. I want you to know what a positive influence she made in my life during a stressful period. Kathie’s attitude helped me change my outlook. Without Kathie, I’m not sure that I would have recovered as quickly or as well as I have. My hand went from a horrible mess of stitches … to fully functional! She is amazing!

“It wasn’t until we started working together that I realized that it really is possible to love what you do and share that with people around you! I admire your drive and selflessness to always help others make their lives better. Not only did you want to help the patients with a physical recovery but you were willing to talk to patients and listen to them about other aspects of their lives to help improve that, if at all possible. You really have been an inspiration to me and give me something to aspire towards!”
