Craniosacral Therapy + wellness
Healing studio now open in South Knoxville!
I look forward to working with you!
my approach
I believe our bodies carry the weight of our stories, our joys and traumas alike, but we don’t have to carry the discomfort forever.
A big part of claiming our own wellness lies in being curious about and listening to the innate wisdom and mystery that lives inside and around us. I am here to hold space and offer tools that help facilitate shifts toward freedom, truth, and wholeness.
I am particularly interested in how the imprints of thoughts, energy, emotions, and experiences create pain, dis-ease, and imbalance within us. My current offerings are designed to use CranioSacral Therapy, plant + stone medicine, sound healing, guided meditation and clinical hypnosis to expand awareness, integrate wellbeing, and reprogram limiting energetic and emotional patterns in the body and subconscious mind.
You can feel relaxed in your body, unencumbered in your mind, and inspired in your soul.
I look forward to working with you!

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) involves facilitating and enhancing the body’s own natural capacity to heal when stress, trauma, or disease processes become overwhelming for the system. By freeing the Central Nervous System to perform at its best, this therapy has been shown to naturally reduce pain and stress, strengthen your resistance to disease and enhance your health and well-being.
I assess your body’s subtle communications (CranioSacral rhythm, fascial patterns, restrictions in the membranes, and more) and respond accordingly in order to release tension + stagnation and re-pattern unhealthy coping mechanisms. With a very gentle touch, you can receive with softness, and allow your body and nervous system to rest, recover, and heal.
-
CST is for anyone and everyone, and is particularly supportive for folks experiencing burnout, anxiety, migraines + headaches, chronic pain, stress + tension-related disorders, motor-coordination impairments, traumatic brain injuries, post-concussion symptoms, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, TMJ syndrome, scoliosis, Central Nervous System disorders, PTSD, emotional dysregulation, grief, vertigo, neurodivergence, pregnancy/postpartum and more.

Vibrational Attunement is the process of restoring your body’s innate and perfect wholeness on an energetic level.
Each cell in your body is comprised of energy, and therefore vibrates at a particular frequency. When our bodies experience stress, the vibrational frequency of cells are effected and can experience distortion.
I may integrate techniques like Reiki, stone medicine, flower essences, sound medicine, and/or guided meditation with the intention to harmonize and balance the body’s energy systems, promoting, relaxation, stress relief, vibrational resonance and coherence (when all parts come together to form a united whole).

The subconscious mind: Your subconscious mind stores your memories, beliefs, and past experiences, and it influences at least 95% of how you think, feel, and show up in the world. So, if your thoughts, behaviors, or emotions don’t align with the life you desire, it’s not because you’re doing something wrong… it might just be that your subconscious programming needs support.
This is where hypnosis comes in.
How hypnosis works: Hypnosis is the process of guiding you into an altered state of consciousness called trance, in order to access and reprogram your subconscious mind.
In trance, your brainwaves shift from the faster gamma and beta states into slower theta and alpha states (a deeply relaxed and highly receptive place). Being in trance isn’t rare or dramatic. In fact, you already experience these brain states daily, like when you're drifting off to sleep, brushing your teeth on autopilot, or realizing you’ve arrived home without remembering the drive.
In this state, your nervous system and conscious mind relax, and your brain becomes more neuroplastic… meaning more open to change.
In trance state, you can bypass the analytical, thinking mind and introduce new suggestions directly into the subconscious, where real transformation happens. (Don’t worry, your subconscious mind will never accept suggestions that do not align with your core value system, so there’s no space for sneaky or unwanted mind control here)!!!Yes, you can reprogram your subconscious and shift your beliefs to align with your desires without hypnosis… it just takes a whole lot of consistency and repetition, which can feel like a lot of work! What’s so neat about this modality is that changes or shifts that may have taken weeks, months or years of effort to integrate, can happen a lot faster and without so much resistance along the way.
What the process looks like: During clinical hypnosis, the hypnotist gently guides you into trance using simple relaxation techniques, creates a safe and grounded space for expanded inner awareness and change, and offers empowering suggestions, visualizations, and affirmations to support your goals. Imagination is the language of the subconscious mind, so the process inherently build self trust as you learn to understand and receive information from your subconscious mind. Each session is collaborative, respectful, and customizable.
The potential benefits: Because we can so easily integrate new thought patterns and belief systems through this process, hypnosis becomes a powerful pathway to release fear, shame, guilt, anxiety, trauma responses, limiting beliefs, addictions, and other patterns that no longer support you. It opens the door to reconnecting with the truth of who you are, so you can feel more aligned, empowered, and free to live the life you truly desire.
Hypnosis can help reorient your nervous system towards safety and inner resourcing, so that you have more capacity as you process stress in your life. This type of regulation can be truly supportive on a multi-system level.

In these session I use a very gentle touch, usually about 5 grams of pressure (the weight of a nickel) to assess and effect the tissues and membranes associated with the CranioSacral System.
I place my hands on various parts of the body as I implement different manual techniques.
Clients remain fully clothed during these sessions and lie comfortably on a massage table. So, it’s a good idea to wear comfortable cozy clothing to your session :)
Every session is different, but most clients describe feeling profoundly relaxed while receiving.
It is my honor to hold sacred space for you to relax and heal. I am dedicated to cultivating safety, non-judgment, inclusivity, kindness, and trust.
In these treatments you are encouraged to advocate for yourself and speak your truth. You are your own most precious compass. I am here to facilitate your journey.

testimonials
“Kat has an incredible knowledge of the body and the connected systems. I’m always impressed with how intuitive the treatments are and how present and in tune she is with what is happening in my body. She uses a variety of physical and energetic techniques to help me find relief for both chronic and acute issues. The CranioSacral treatment proved to be amazingly effective at providing both instant and lasting relief of my chronic low back pain.
Professional, caring and attentive I would highly recommend Kat’s comprehensive treatment options”.
-Lee R.
“From the moment the session began, I felt a deep sense of calm and connection. The therapist’s gentle touch and intuitive technique helped release tension I didn’t even realize I was holding—especially around my neck, shoulders, and lower back. By the end of the session, I felt lighter, more centered, and incredibly relaxed. It was like a mental and physical reset. I highly recommend this therapy to anyone seeking deep relaxation, emotional balance, or relief from chronic tension. It’s a subtle yet powerful experience I’ll definitely be coming back for.”
-Kathleen F.
“I went to Kat per my mom’s recommendation and was so impressed by the work she did. So much healing and at the hands of a truly kind soul. I felt lighter and more grounded, had more clarity on issues, it was transformative. It was my first experience with energy work and now I’m a proselytizer, Kat is really incredible”.
-Alexandra F.
“I went to see Kat after trying more traditional massage therapies. I knew next to nothing about Craniosacral Therapy. By the end of my first session, I was hooked! I have a very hard time relaxing, and I constantly want to move and be active and go go go. I experienced such deep relaxation that, frankly, is indescribable. I went into my first session with a headache and walked out feeling perfect. The second session was even better because I knew what to expect, and was able to let myself relax sooner into the session. Kat is an expert at her craft and has done a fantastic job creating a relaxing and professional atmosphere. I highly recommend that anyone interested book an appointment and give her a try, because once you do your first session you’ll want to book more”!
-Ian C.
“Every professional experience I’ve had with Kat is 10/10. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, intuitive, and consistently kind and thoughtful throughout her practice. I always feel welcomed and cared for, leaving our session feeling mentally and physically better than before I arrived. Book with Kat”!
-Laura S.
“Kat has been a lifesaver for me. Despite my post radiation complications she has helped me maintain my very active lifestyle. She nourishes me both physically and spiritually. Five star recommendation”.
-Peter Z.
“I am so happy that Kat has come back to Knoxville! Not only is she a beautiful human being, but she is a very talented body worker. Kat is deeply intuitive and gifted in helping her clients release tension and align energy to serve their life’s purpose/needs. I worked with Kat before she moved to her new location and I will continue!! The new location is a little sanctuary cocoon of healing. I left my last session with her thinking of all the people in my life I would like to gift a session with Kat”.
-Lissa M.
“As soon as you meet Kat she makes you feel at ease and you notice her great energy. I feel strongly that her energywork has helped me. Very highly recommend”!
