(Currently on maternity leave.)
Kate has been happily treating clients in Kjipuktuk / Halifax, Nova Scotia since 2017. As a lifelong student to dance and movement, it was her travels in South East Asia that inspired her to return to Nova Scotia in 2015 to pursue massage therapy professionally, knowing she would eventually choose to focus her practice on learning the 2500-year-old medicine that is Thai Massage.
Kate’s dynamic treatment style incorporates deep tissue release, fascial stretching, and energy clearing – ultimately creating space for the mind and body to unite through breath work. She’s worked in many different treatment environments but has now settled into an independent practice at the Harvard Street Healing Arts Centre, where she aims to create a safe, inclusive space for all who join her.
In January of 2023, Kate returned to Chiang Mai, Thailand to complete an 11-week teacher training program in Thai Massage with the International Thai Massage School, accredited by the Thailand Ministry of Education & approved by the Ministry of Public Health. Her goal is to make this ancient healing method more accessible across the east coast of Canada by training other massage therapists in this style.
In her spare time, you can find Kate exploring the forest, dancing in wide open spaces under the sky, and discovering new ways to connect the mind and body to this earth. It is important to her to acknowledge this beautiful land, that has given her so much healing energy, as the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq people.
Kate will always be seeking what’s next and working hard on her own self-care so she can better help clients on their own journey.
