There are so many forms of massage and they all have their place. But I have found, for the most effective results, people must learn to participate in their healing process and connect to their innate body awareness. I am drawn to the Eastern philosophy of medicine, which views healing as a group effort of body, heart, mind and spirit. Therefore it is crucially important to know, that we are our own healers and no one can actually do it for us. One of my teachers put it well when he said, "We do not heal people, we encourage and support the body's natural ability to heal itself." I have found that this and only this facilitates LIFE CHANGING BODYWORK. I went to Massage Therapy Institute Of Colorado 1996-1997. The program entailed 1050 hours of training in Swedish, Deep Tissue, Anma, Neuromuscular Therapy, Reflexotherapy, Myofascial Release, Kinesiology. I have also studied Craniosacral Therapy with the Upleddger Institute. Blending these techniques I am able to customize the sessions with my clients to meet their specific needs. Some clients need deep work and others may need to release blocked energy. Others may come with emotional trauma locked in their bodies. All need to be nurtured and feel cared for. I feel a powerful commitment to go to the core of my clients needs. We live in an exciting time of incredible growth and change. To keep up with all the demands that are asked of us each day is quite a challenge. To meet this challenge we need to incorporate support systems that facilitate growth, and relaxation. Successful as well as conscious people are now engaging in meditation, yoga, exercise and workshops that open their minds and expand their thinking. Massage and bodywork and energetic healing techniques have become as important as good food and exercise. It is crucial to keep the body healthy, strong and flexible as possible. Otherwise there is no way to keep up the pace that the world and our work demands from us.

Here are some comments about my work from those that have experienced it:

"Kate Oliver is a massage therapist of extraordinary talents and skill. Her ability to recognize and relieve soft tissue strain is remarkable. I highly recommend her to patients and colleagues."
     Don Lee, L.Ac, Licensed Accupuncturist

"I have had massage for many years. When Kate gives me a massage, the experience is unlike any I have ever had. Kate knows intuitively what my body needs. I have released emotions that I did not even know my body was still holding. She is an amazingly gifted masseuse and a caring woman. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants the best massage they've ever had."
    Elaine McBroom, Counselor

I look forward to working with you and would leave you with this....

I will meet you in the field out beyond past experience, pain and limitation.... Beyond separation, ego and the material. Together let us explore the possibilities of our lifepaths. So that if you are on yours and I am on mine we can transcend the illusion of division between Body, Mind, Heart and Spirit.
