About Katherine

I am a certified Rosen Method Bodywork Practitioner through The Berkeley Center Rosen Method, and have been in private practice since 2018, focused on work with highly sensitive people, intermodal artists, women, and femmes of all genders. 

 

I earned a Master's Degree from Goddard College. My 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.  

 

I've integrated postgraduate training in Somatic Counseling through the California Institute of Integral Studies, and in Therapeutic Expressive Arts Facilitation through the European Graduate School, where I trained with the field's groundbreaking founder, Paolo Knill. I am currently pursuing a degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling through Antioch University, seeing clients as an Intern Therapist, and working as a research assistant for Pilgrimage Studies through a psychological lens. 

 

I've taught workshops on intersectionality  as a micro-fusion dance instructor and as a choral director through Recess Productions. Outside of the Rosen office, you can find me at choir rehearsal, partner dances, or creating and implementing therapeutic Expressive Arts and psycho-social programming for senior communities.

Raised in rural New Hampshire, I was surrounded and enriched by nature throughout childhood, and challenged by the realities of rural poverty. I've worked against great odds to excel in each phase of my professional training. This work has come to fruition in my inspiredly intersectional approach as a Rosen practitioner. The diverse path of trainings and life experiences that I've traveled have burned into me 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.
