Kate brings nearly 20 years as a modern dancer and 10 years as a personal trainer and instructor of the Gyrotonic Expansion System® to her therapeutic work. Her training includes the Acupuncture Physical Medicine approach of Dr. Mark Seem, a unique, hands-on approach ideal for working with the "holding patterns" of the body - the places where we become bound, resistant, and protected. She also received a solid foundation of both classical Chinese Medicine and Japanese acupuncture through Kiiko Matsumoto, and completed a two-year mentorship with Five Element master practitioner Lorie Dechar. This diverse background and education makes Kate a flexible and grounded practitioner who enjoys discovering the unique and personal path of each patient she works with. She is currently licensed in Oregon State, and is a diplomate in Acupuncture with the NCCAOM.
Kate is very excited to be sharing an office in SW Portland with Anne Prescott, D.C, a chiropractor and LMT ( www.anneprescottdc.com), and Melissa Framiglio, a certified instructor of Gyrotonic® (www.mafstudio.com). |
