e’re expanding our offerings!

At Movement in Science, we believe in honoring every layer of the body. While we often focus on physical movement, we are so excited to bring Kathy Rivera—LMT, Energy Medicine, and Yoga practitioner—to host her first workshop this April, a brand-new, transformative experience: Heart Alchemy: Breathwork & Energy Healing

Kathy's workshop invites us into the expansive realm of the heart. This is a sacred container designed to help you release the emotional and energetic debris that accumulates in our fast-paced world.

No prior experience with breathwork or energy medicine is necessary. Simply come dressed comfortably and with an open mind and heart.

Join Kathy and the MIS community for this courageous journey inward. Secure your spot for April. Visit our website to register or the link in the B-I-O~

Please welcome Kathy to the team!!! 🤩🎉🙌🏾

Kathy (Kat) Rivera (she/they/ella) is a Licensed Massage Therapist based in VA, bringing a deep, six-year foundation in the healing arts to her practice. As a first-generation daughter of Salvadorean immigrants, their work is deeply informed by her ancestral lineage and roots of resilience.

For the past six years, Kathy has held intentional space, guiding clients to return home to themselves through therapeutic yoga and energy medicine. After a significant career shift from the corporate and healthcare fields, she dedicated years to deep personal healing and reclaiming her ancestral wisdom.

Now, as a licensed bodyworker, she powerfully integrates that somatic wisdom with targeted, therapeutic touch.

Kathy's work weaves together clinical massage therapy with trauma-informed somatic practices and energy medicine. Their approach provides bodywork that not only addresses chronic tension and muscle pain but also prioritizes nervous system regulation and client agency. By blending massage techniques with the transformative wisdom of somatic work, ancestral traditions, and energy healing, she ensures to build trust so the body feels safe enough to release the deepest physical and emotional burdens of stress and lived experiences.

Kathy is passionate about connecting clients to their inherent wisdom within and supporting the body's innate capacity for self-healing.

Be sure to book with Kathy today! And be on the lookout for Yoga classes and other workshop led by our new amazing team member!
