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!
