About Me

A lifelong mover, my work is the continuation of the exploring and discovering movement that I began as a small human.

We are not machines. The body is not an object. We are continually evolving, flowing, retreating, uplifting, resting, reshaping and happening. We do not have a body. We are not a body. We are body-ing.

The culture places a myriad of assumptions about our identity, about our body, about our relationships and about how we should behave with our body.

Welcome to my healing arts practice where we create an opportunity to examine the deeper movement impulses within and re-wire, re-code and re-learn who you truly want to be.

If you are curious and ready to explore these deeper dimensions of yourself, a fantastic and enriching journey awaits you.

I have an MFA from Mills College and have been teaching dance, pilates, yoga and movement to all ages for over 40 years. In addition to holding associate professor positions at University of California, Riverside and California State, East Bay I have worked with community colleges and private dance studios throughout California. I have been a practicing certified Rolfer since 2001. Additionally I am a Balanced Body certified Pilates instructor.

My goal is to provide a process of inquiry for clients to have a more efficient and resilient embodied experience and regain the vitality needed for the most important things in life.

What People Are Saying

  • Bo Z

    “Kathryn is a teacher and healer, an expert in movement and embodiment. She has helped me ease long-standing pain and tension and feel more functional and connected in my body. Her work has also facilitated healing at a deeper emotional level.”

  • J Richardson, Equestrian

    “Kathryn’s acute eye and deep knowledge of the body have helped me regain functionality after both surgery and serious injury. She has taught me to be a better observer of my body and how to be a steward to my own health and comfort.”

  • Carol A. MFA in Dance and Choreography

    “Kathryn has a unique gift of being able to ‘read’ your energy. And by that, I mean that she can sense where the energy is in your body, and work with you to reroute it to the appropriate place for optimal efficiency. In this way, the muscles and the bones tend to fall into place. It is effortless for her; she intuitively can sense what you need and how to get there!”
