Integrative bodywork and massage
Katharine McAbee, CMT
CAMTC # 38913
Welcome to relaxation
Care and support are the foundation of my practice. I listen to the voice of my clients and the voice of their bodies. I have training in a variety of bodywork techniques and prepare unique treatment plans that address each client's specific needs, provide deep relaxation and boost vitality.
Keeping skills fresh and developing new skills are important to me. I strive to expand my knowledge of massage techniques with continued education in diverse specialties. In addition to my training at the Arcata School of Massage, I have taken continuing education courses in Massage Cupping Bodywork Therapy, Myofascial Release (MFR), Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD), Craniosacral work and Reiki, to name a few.
Practice Updates
What's new?
Temporary leave of absence:
Work/life balance, self-care, and listening to your body's call for rest are major tenets of my practice. These are things I regularly encourage in my clients, but (like many small business owners) haven't been great at doing for myself. So, I'm now taking time to follow my own advice.
As of October 1st, 2024, I will be taking a little of time away from my practice to attend to personal matters. I tentatively anticipate being back in the office in November. I will update my website and reopen online booking accordingly. Please check in at the end of October for more info. I appreciate your patience, understanding, and ongoing loyalty during this much needed sabbatical. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
10/29/2024- Update: The month of October is wrapping up and as promised, I'm here with an update. As many of my clients know, the major reason I've been away is because I've been dealing with a persistent injury. My injury is improving daily, but I will need at least a few more weeks to get back to a place where I can safely return work. My leave of absence has been both healing for my body and a much needed rest for my mental health. I appreciate your patience as I move through my recovery. I look forward to seeing you all when I return.
Other updates:
As of August 1, 2024, I have implemented a nominal rate increase. Please see service menu for current prices.
Updated COVID-19 policy:
As of June 2024, my COVID-19 policies have been updated to reflect the current guidelines for healthcare facilities in California. I will no longer require masks that be worn in my office. While I still strongly prefer my clients be up-to-date on COVID-19 vaccinations, I am no longer check vaccination cards. However, if you are testing positive for COVID-19, even without symptoms, you must notify me to reschedule your session.
