Increase Satisfaction with Your Next Event
Creating a transformative event is an art –
and the ideal balance of elements shifts with the nature of the exploration at hand.
Whether it's chair massage for the workplace or promotional event, or table massage for longer retreats, one event option that is universally appreciated, regardless of topic or focus, is access to nurturing touch.
"I have worked with Katia on several design projects as well as hired her for massage therapy and would highly recommend her skills in both areas.
Katia is an extremely thorough and detail oriented person who has spent years mastering her skills. She works with great clarity and can easily assess needs to proved spot-on services. Katia is dependable, highly intuitive and superbly talented. I would be honored to work with Katia on any project as well as trust her as a healer."
-Lisa Jones, Woerner and Jones, Inc
At the office, chair massage wins favor from employees and employers alike by:
• decreasing stress
• decreasing pain and relieving specific tensions, including repetitive stress injuries.
• boosting morale, energy and productivity
• decreasing absenteeism
At promotional events, chair massage creates curiosity and "buzz", attracting customers who might not have considered you. It helps them to:
• relax, allowing them to in be open to new ideas and lifestyle changes
• associate you with a generous, caring, positive experience
• trust and like you, (the basis for all good business relationships) which increases sales
At retreats and seminars, professional, caring touch can:
• Provide welcome relief from discomfort that may arise from unaccustomed exertion, stillness, activity level, diet, solitude, social contact, mental/emotional challenge, etc.;
• Support growth, healing, and learning by helping to focus awareness;
• Gently encourage inclusion of the body’s process into the integration of material that has been learned or that has arisen;
• Create dedicated time for rest, pleasure, and receiving;
• Enhance relaxation on a deep level, so that new and/or challenging material can be more easily held;
• Increase participants’ satisfaction with their workshop, retreat, conference, or seminar experience.
"As a retreat manager, I found that it wasn't necessary to oversee the massage aspect of the retreat. Katia worked within the parameters of the schedule so that retreatants could still attend all the meditation and teaching sessions. Bodywork is so complementary and beneficial to the practice of meditation. It helps release all the areas in our body that habitually hold tension, allowing for relaxation of body and mind."
- Mary Ann Chubb, retreat organizer

I welcome working with groups locally, nationally, and internationally, in connection with events lasting hours or days. Rates are variable, based on the nature and number of services provided.
If you’d like to include supportive massage and touch services in a workshop, retreat, or event, please email or call 510-292-5503. I look forward to contributing to the success of your next group event.
"I have been sitting [at meditation retreats] for over 20 years and consistently on day 2 and
3, I have a lot of physical plus mental pain. We gathered on Friday
and I had the massage on Sunday. I was amazed at how painless the
retreat was for me....Was it because of the massage with Katia? Who
knows but I truly think it had a tremendous influence on the ease in
which I experienced on this retreat. I guess the bottom line is: Would
I do it again? YES! YES! YES!"

"I had the privilege of receiving a treatment from Katia during a five day silent retreat. Katia had set over an hour aside for me and her hands are gentle and kind. The experience of the treatment with Katia deepened the mediation retreat for me, and had an immediate and uplifting effect on my ability to continue sitting. I am looking forward to working with her again, she is a masterful massage technician and our session was an absolute highlight for me."
- Feli Funke-Riehle, retreat participant
