Katrina grew up in Germany, where bodywork was part of her family’s regular health care practice. “My parents practiced yoga, bodywork and meditation, so I learned at a young age how helpful things like healing touch can be,” says Katrina. “I also experienced physical therapy for myself at the age of 14, after I fell off my horse and had to go through rehab.”

But it was years later when Katrina cured a close family member who was experiencing chronic pain from a back injury that she recognized her true calling. She found the field fascinating and was drawn into formal educational training. “I absolutely resonated with it. It’s very fulfilling to excel at something you love to do.”

That was over 30 years ago!

A Special Message to you from Katrina

In her personal life, Katrina is a lifelong spiritual seeker. She started meditating at the age of 16 and continues to this day. “I find that meditation cultivates a sensitivity that helps me greatly in my work. As I continue to expand and deepen my own awareness on all levels, I integrate it into my practice of healing others. I can intuitively feel what each client’s body needs or wants at any given moment in order to heal. It’s like my nervous system resonates with their nervous system, and we have a dialogue.”

 
 

Katrina lives in Asheville, North Carolina with her daughter Thalia, her partner Mike, dog Lulu and Sam, the cat.
In her spare time, she loves hiking, cooking, dancing, pilates, swimming, skiing, snorkeling and traveling the world.
