I blend therapeutic massage & energy work to support your body's innate knowledge of what it needs to be healthy.

I see clients with chronic & acute conditions of pain & discomfort, as well as past trauma, depression, anxiety & low vitality. My practice is an ever-evolving meditation and I am so grateful to offer it to our Nashville community. Massage therapy found and claimed me nine years ago and its presence in my life changed the way I engage with the world physically and mentally. At its heart, my practice is a blend of therapeutic massage and energy work that supports your body's innate knowledge of what it needs to be healthy. I have a deep understanding of anatomy that I draw upon in each session. I strive to listen to your body as it communicates what it needs to find balance and ease. I see clients with chronic and acute conditions of pain and discomfort, as well as past trauma, depression, anxiety, and low vitality.

**Licensed in both Tennessee and New York State, Katie began practicing massage 9 years ago in New York City, studying SourcePoint Therapy® with Bob Schrei and Donna Thomson, visceral manipulation with Liz Gaggini and Alyssa Dodson, bodywork techniques with George Russell of Getting Better Bodywork and David Lobenstine of Full Breath Massage, as well as an array of continuing education classes focusing on the healing properties of the breath and the use of imagery in healing our minds and our bodies. She is a member of Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals and a graduate of The Swedish Institute College of Health and Sciences in Manhattan. She moved with her husband and son to Nashville in 2018. In addition to this work, Katie leads child-led nature play classes, called Tinkergarten, at Shelby Bottoms Greenway and Nature Center.**

Think about most days. You work too much, you don’t sleep enough, or maybe your body is changing because you are pregnant or just gave birth. You worry about being late, or your job, or your family. You are on your feet all day, or you sit in front of a computer for long periods of time. Our culture promotes the importance of pushing through pain, letting your stress fuel you, and bragging about your over-committed schedule instead of taking the time to actually listen to what your body is telling you. I encourage my clients to choose a different path: To maintain a healthy communication with their bodies through massage. To listen, to acknowledge, to create space for positive change. I strive to demonstrate this through our work together on the massage table.

Need a place to land this fall? There is still space in the small group container I am offering on Thursdays, called The Ground of Our Being. September 25 - October 23 from 6 -7:15 pm.

What is a ground? It’s a foundation, a structure. It is something to return to, again and again, for support.

SourcePoint Therapy serves to help people experience the esoteric in practical, tangible ways. Are you interested in exploring your relationship to and as energy? If so, you would be right at home in this group.

We’ll meet 4 times in person, and once on Zoom. One week you will receive a group distanced session to help integrate our practice.

Everything you learn here, you can take into the world to support you. For those in our group who would like to deepen their experience with an individual session with me, I am offering one 90-minute session at a reduced rate ($175) through the end of November to all participants.

Sliding Scale Available, please inquire!

May all beings be happy, peaceful, and free of suffering.

Yes, it’s happening again! Nashville’s next SourcePoint Therapy training is April 25-27, 2025.

My teacher Bob Schrei and I are co-teaching this Module One training, which is the first of three modules that are required to become certified as a practitioner. For those of you who have been wanting to learn how to practice SourcePoint Therapy for others, to explore the inherent health within you and all humans be-ing, now is the time to sign up.

I have been studying with Bob Schrei & Donna Thomson since 2015. Bob is a Certified Advanced Rolfer™ with 38 years experience, a biodynamic craniosacral therapist, an artist, a former Zen teacher, and the co-originator of SourcePoint Therapy with his wife and partner in healing work Donna, an intuitive, meditation guide, MSW, and author.

In this training, you will learn to work with points in the human energy field that connect the physical body directly to the universal Blueprint of health, as well as body scanning techniques to locate energetic blockages in the body that obstruct the information of health from manifesting in the physical body. Many of you are familiar with this from my integrative bodywork practice.

Healthcare professionals from a wide range of backgrounds study SourcePoint Therapy to enhance their therapeutic work. Artists find the work stimulates and enhances their creativity. Dancers and yoga teachers regularly integrate it into their work and teaching. People who have received the work come to workshops to enhance their practice of self-care. There is no end to the possibilities inherent in deepening and strengthening our grounding in the Blueprint of Health. These trainings are often attended by a diverse group of practitioners, as well as people who are interested in learning it for themselves and for their families.

It is powerful and precise work, and I urge you to join.

The training will be 3 full days, and we will gather each day in a spacious and modern cabin that backs right up to, as many of you know, my favorite place in Nashville – beautiful Beaman Park!

Questions? Ready to join? Want to connect? Let’s talk.

May all beings be happy, peaceful, & free of suffering!

Free Community Offering! For those of us feeling overwhelmed or shut down this week, SourcePoint Therapy invites us to find a middle way — an opportunity to remember the ground of our being, our fundamental health, that is ALWAYS there. When we focus on health and bring it into our awareness, this is where transformation begins. When many people come together to remember, our connection strengthens and ripples out to our families, communities, and our world.

Please join me for a brief meditation on the morning of Thursday, November 7. It is absolutely free, on Zoom, and is here for anyone needing support. I will lead a 15-20 minute meditation that will be recorded so that you can return to it as often as you’d like. Please share this with anyone who might resonate with the need to feel a steady ground amidst the chaos.

Again, it’s open to all and free. Sign up at www.katieparkermassage.com. Or, type “health” in the comments below, and I’ll send you the link.

This view will never get old. May the light of Awareness shine within all of us, and may all beings be happy, peaceful, and free of suffering. Eternally grateful for all of you, the glorious .studio, and the boundless container of Source from which all of this emerges.

Books are open through September for Integrative Bodywork Sessions. New humans are welcome! Together, let’s remember health and allow our inherent connection to it grow stronger.

Link to my calendar is in my profile!

Weekend Openings for you, or perhaps someone you care about, are currently available on my calendar!

If you are seeking a deeper relationship with your body, a deeper relationship with health, some intentional time to slow down, to receive your own presence, to tend to yourself, to relieve pain and reorganize patterns — you are welcome here.

If now is not the right time to come in, would you please share my practice with someone who might resonate?

✨🫶✨

I hear this a lot, that people come to see me for a specific issue and then experience change throughout the different systems of their body.

It’s not that the repetitive stress injury and digestion are related. They might be, but we wouldn’t approach a session that way.

The beauty of SourcePoint Therapy is that by supporting you in connecting to your fullest expression of health, your health is not limited in that expression!

I have a background in visceral manipulation, which allows us to explore the relationship your organs are in with soft tissue.

Our sessions support health at all levels: physically and structurally, of course, but also emotionally, in your belief systems, experiences of trauma, and ancestral lineage.

We allow for a deeper relationship to health in all of these ways.

Consistent care is transformative care.

Would you like to share how our sessions have benefited you? I’d love to hear!

I am often amazed at how consistent care can support you in unexpected ways. We often think of receiving bodywork when something is wrong – an injury, a pulled muscle, a seized-up back – or as a treat, for self-care.

The truth is that while our sessions will absolutely support you in those moments, the transformations that can take place when you receive consistently are potent and life-changing.

The beauty of SourcePoint Therapy is that it supports health at all levels: physically and structurally, of course, but also emotionally, in your belief systems, experiences of trauma, and ancestral lineage.

So in our sessions, we allow for a deeper relationship to health in all of these ways.

My particular skill set includes an array of modalities: myofascial release, visceral manipulation, craniosacral therapy techniques, deep-tissue massage, mobilization & stretching movements, and breathwork. A session can use any of these to support you, within the framework of connecting to health, honoring your system exactly as it is.

When scheduling, remember that consistency can mean bi-weekly, every 4-6 weeks, once a season, etc. There is no formula.

It is a joy and an honor to share my practice with all of you and I look forward to seeing you this spring! If you’d like to share my practice with those who might resonate, I am welcoming in new faces this spring.

Would you like to share how our sessions are impacting you? I’d love to hear.

Something really beautiful emerged last fall, after the first SourcePoint Therapy training in Nashville. Our group continued to gather, continuing the practice of connecting to health. SourcePoint Therapy is, at its heart, a practice of awareness, and of listening. We pay attention to the pattern of health, both in ourselves and in others, and recognizing that connection, that relationship with a field of energy we cannot see, but are very much a part of.

It’s a real joy to offer space where embodied community – full of curiosity, engaged discussion, and openness – thrives!

We gather again this weekend for the second module of training with Bob Schrei!

So grateful for all of this community, whether you’re learning SourcePoint Therapy for yourself, for others, receiving sessions, sharing about them with people you care about, or following along here.

03/08/2024

For years, I have desired to provide more opportunities to those with limited time and resources to access SourcePoint Therapy more regularly, or at all.

This special offering on Wednesday, March 27 is an opportunity for you to receive a 30-minute SourcePoint Therapy session in a potent small group setting! You will receive focused and specific care, with time to integrate and rest at points throughout the session, as we attune to the inherent health not only in your system, but in the Blueprint of Health for all human beings.

The flow of these group sessions feels so good, and the feedback I’ve received in practicing them shines a light on how powerful and important receiving care in a group setting can be. We are not separate isolated beings in a sea of other separated and isolated beings, and opportunities for care should reflect that.

The shorter length of these sessions does not mean that they are less helpful. There is no end to the possibilities inherent in deepening and strengthening our grounding in the Blueprint of Health. Even if it’s been a while, I hope you’ll join. Space is limited, and is available to anyone who has received a session from me before.

Sign up link is in my bio ✨ May all beings be happy, peaceful, and free of suffering.

✨ Studio Appreciation Post ✨

Have you been to the .studio yet?

This is where we meet for bodywork and group offerings! I am certain I've never offered sessions in a more gorgeous space.

After moving my practice completely outdoors in 2020 & some of 2021, I began a long search, seeking a space that would allow us to maintain a connection to the natural world, to bring the outdoors in. SourcePoint Therapy is always working to strengthen our connection to universal energy, no matter where it is practiced, but I deeply appreciate that these giant windows and sliding door provide a visual reminder that what is happening within us is also occurring all around us.

Here are some of my favorite moments in the studio this year.

There are still a few openings to visit before the year ends. You may not have time to go out and sit by yourself in a forest, but you can lie down here, let go of your ideas, and relax into what’s happening. It’s very similar.
