Experience
I started my massage practice in Phoenix, AZ working with endurance athletes and active people of all ages. I then spent two years working closely with Physical Therapists at Endurance Rehabilitation, Scottsdale AZ. I played a key role in patient rehabilitation with a focus on soft tissue mobilization and specific stretching techniques. In 2007, I moved to Boulder and joined the Facilitated Wellness team at Flatirons Athletic Club.
Specialties
Sports Massage with Assisted Stretching
Deep Tissue Massage
Relaxation and stress management
Philosophy
I believe that not only do our soft tissues need regular massage but maintaining joint mobility through stretching is essential in promoting wellness and total body relaxation. As a recently retired tri-athlete, and now an ultra trail runner, I know the importance of regular massage and appropriate stretching to keep those overused muscles loose and freshened up after a long week on the road. Your time with me is 100% devoted to you. Using your input, coupled with my training and skills, we’ll get you in shape and keep you in the best shape possible for whatever wonderful activities you pursue.

Philosophy:
I believe that the healing process is a co-creation that begins within each and everyone of us. As a Wellness Provider I am very passionate about helping people achieve better health. With proper diagnosis, treatment and a cooperative relationship between the practitioner and the patient it is possible to have optimal health.
I work with my patients using all the tools and gifts that I have acquired over many years yet, the greatest gift that I have is the gift of holding a space for patients to heal themselves from that deep inner place.
It is my intention while helping those that work with me to achieve a state of balance or homeostasis. To assist people in finding the creative healing force or power that lies within each and everyone of us. It is this force that in Chinese Healing Arts we refer to as “Qi or Chi”. The deeper we form relationship to this Qi, the greater the potential for anything being possible.

Before moving to Boulder, I lived in Texas but grew up in Virginia. This past year in Boulder, I have acquired a love of running. I try to incorporate a healthy lifestyle so that I may enjoy my interests for years to come.
Experience:
My journey to become a massage therapist was a personal and passionate one. It began after a life changing decision to separate a marriage of 13 years. The effects that took place within my body and mind, I didn’t acknowledge the tension and stress, but chose to ignore the signs. The decision of “pushing through”, my body made me listen. It took 3 months-3x’s a week bodywork to repair the damage done. I then realized how massage did have a vital impact on the body and I immediately began making the changes needed for me to devote the next 2 years to my education and training.

Since adding Kat’s bodywork to my training protocol, I have noticed an undeniable improvement in performance and recovery. Kat understands the demands cyclists place on their bodies and applies her rich knowledge base to optimize the effectiveness of each session. I am continually astounded by the reduced feelings of fatigue and muscle soreness after working with her. If you want to get fast and stay injury free work with Kat after every hard ride. B.

Experience: I've been a massage therapist for more than 17 years, so my work has grown to address a wide range of musculo-skeletal difficulties ranging from sports injury, occupational tension and repetitive stress, to pregnancy and problems specific to aging, such as diabetes and Parkinson's Disease. My two year training in CranioSacral Therapy has broadened the scope of my work to include new approaches in working with whiplash trauma, frozen SI joints and hips, and, at the other end of the spectrum, working with anxiety, depression, and autonomic nervous system disorders. I continue to learn from each and every client I have the pleasure to work with!

Philosophy:
Body work is more than just a way to temporarily release tension and feel good. It's an opportunity to get out of your head, and into greater relationship with what's really going on in your body. I frequently hear people exclaim, "Wow, I had no idea I was tight THERE!" Receiving massage on a regular basis opens neural networks so that you don't end up inadvertently injuring yourself or promoting constrictive postures that lead to pain, weakness, and imbalance. Massage is also a RECHARGE for when you're running on EMPTY! Ideally, we should all be receiving massage on a weekly basis! My favorite (to both give and receive!) is the 2 hour session! The first hour is about settling in and letting go, and the second hour is all about transformation!
Client Comments:
“Marie's massage leaves me feeling whole again”! -FT
“My weekly sessions with Marie have relieved me of chronic and debilitating neck pain. I just wish I'd found her sooner”! -CP

I am continually amazed by the resiliency of our bodies. They roll us through those stressful times of overwhelm, lack of sleep, overtraining and computer posture. The signs of distress are there. I, personally, receive regular monthly massage, bi-monthly acupuncture, proper supplements, in conjunction with functional exercise and somatics (postural muscle strengthening), makes a huge difference on how I function. Massage plays an extraordinarily important role in our long term health and well being. Facilitated Wellness, as a business, came from this strongly held belief.

My Journey: It has been in taking the time to get to know myself where I am discovering who I am. By recognizing and understanding my own blocks and limitations using compassion and disintegrating my beliefs and conditioning, I am able to move in the world with love and curiosity. I am no longer bound by negative beliefs of myself like judgments and criticism. I feel like I just woke for the first time in my life.
My Intention: To see you and connect with your being by non-verbal and verbal ways. I tune in and listen to how your body is breathing using my intuitive bodywork. I can help you identify your holding patterns that have manifested in your body and release them using body awareness. The primary cause of stress is how you perceive yourself in the world. When you are aware of your inner dialogue you can change how you respond to anything. Having the ability to respond with conscious thought can shift you from stress to contentment.
Come experience some of your own magic and discover who you already are. My wish is that you leave the session more relaxed, connected and integrated in your body - balanced and nourished with an awareness of how powerful you are and each thought is.

I feel so blessed to have an incredible "job" being part of an individual achieving such positive rewards.
