KATHERINE'S BACKGROUND & TRAINING

Katherine became a certified Rosen Method Bodywork Practitioner through the Berkeley Center Rosen Method school in Berkeley, CA. She has been in private practice for five years, focusing on work with highly sensitive people, intermodal artists, women, and femmes of all genders. 

Katherine earned a Master's Degree from Goddard College. Her thesis focused on how systems of social hierarchy affect the neurophysiological substrates of one’s ability to know what they know, feel what they feel, and to express that within a democracy. At the heart of this study was recognition of the revolutionary power of love as a neurophysiological state that can shift both social and intellectual habits that aren’t in line with our ideals of equality across gender, race, class and all our beautiful subdivisions as folks. Her thesis advisor was the wonderful neurophilosopher and artist Ellie Epp. 

Katherine has also completed a year of postgraduate training in Somatic Counseling through the California Institute of Integral Studies, and in Therapeutic Expressive Arts Facilitation through the European Graduate School, where she trained with the field's groundbreaking founder, Paolo Knill. She is currently pursuing a degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling through Antioch University.

Katherine has taught workshops on intersectionality  as a micro-fusion dance instructor and as a choral director through Recess Productions. Outside of the Rosen office she focuses on the creation and implementation of therapeutic Expressive Arts programming for seniors.

Raised in rural New Hampshire, Katherine was surrounded and enriched by nature throughout childhood, but challenged by the intergenerational and structural traumas that go along with rural poverty. She has worked with dedication against great odds to excel in each phase of her professional training. This hard work has come to fruition in her inspiredly intersectional approach as a Rosen practitioner. The diverse path of trainings and life experiences that she has traveled to build her private practice have burned into her a blunt and heartfelt awareness of how intersectional experiences of privilege and oppression enter the body-mind as chronic muscular tension, and how to heal effectively at these edges.
