Imagine your body as a comfortable, pain free companion

rather than a collection of overburdened parts calling out for your attention...

By receiving a massage session using one or more of these techniques,

you could start greeting each day with, "Ahhh," instead of "Ow."

Have you had an injury?

Do you suffer with a long term issue or repetitive movement that is causing you strain and pain?

Have you been feeling overwhelmed?

“I had severe, chronic sciatica for 18 years, and now, after seeing Katia, it’s completely gone. And that’s just the sciatica... what it does for the mind - wonderful!”

- Lori Ward, business owner

Massage can be soothing and effective, relaxing and results-oriented. I offer sessions of non-invasive yet specific massage to help relieve back, neck, shoulder, hip, knee, and foot pain related to muscular tension and/or spasms. My office is located in North Berkeley close to the Solano area and is easily reached by public transportation (bus) lines. Years of experience, coupled with advanced training in a variety of techniques, allow me to help you leave our bodywork sessions renewed, refreshed, and relieved of stress, pain, or soreness.

"Katia’s knowledge of the body, skill as a massage therapist, and caring countenance are outstanding. I have more to give to others after receiving Katia’s care.”

- Martha Dolben, poet and educator
