Katie Kruse, LMT

Katie has passionately been a licensed massage therapist since 2002. Beginning in Portland, OR at Oregon School of massage and continuing her studies at East West College. She continues to learn through her travels to Thailand in 2004 and living in the Hawaiian Islands until staring her private practice in 2007.

Massage is the medicine of the future. Through touch we stimulate the body’s own ability to heal itself.  “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of the cure.” Integrative approach combining modalities from all corners of the world, she offers a style that is unique to each individual.

With massage, we allow the time and space to discover a sense of peace and balance. We have more to offer our life when we are replenished.
