"When I have a fibromyalgia flare I call Kate. She has the perfect healing touch that calms my pain and helps me feel better sooner." ~ Kathy, Nurse

"Kate is much more than a highly skilled massage therapist; she is an intuitive healer who conveys warmth and caring through her touch." ~ Amy, Physician

"Kate massaged my neck & shoulders where I have had problems for many years. Not only was she thorough and professional, but my range of head mobility increased as she completely freed those knots in a few sessions." ~ Mike, Playwright

"Kate Boyd uses conscientious guidance techniques to help her patients reach inside themselves to touch and explore their feelings. For me, I am learning to identify how my body holds feelings, how to pull them out through healthy methods, and to no longer be my own victim. She is wonderful and helping me recognize that I am wonderful too." ~ D., Student

"I have been increasingly troubled by plantar fasciitis for about a year. After treatment with Kate there was a marked improvement and a feeling of well-being. I would thoroughly recommend Kate and feel completely confident in her hands." ~ Freda, Retired

"My experience with Kate Boyd was great from start to finish. She identified problem areas in my back and shoulder that have bothered me for ages. I left pain free and feeling 2 ft. taller!" ~ Simon, Neuroscientist

“I found my work with Kate to be very helpful. Trauma Touch Therapy helped me to understand and resolve difficult issues from my past that traditional talk therapy and self help efforts had not been able to address. Kate is an excellent guide on the journey of understanding how the body holds trauma and how such experiences can be released."
~ Val, Psychotherapist
