2025 has predictions, I have a wish.
To focus on community, relationships, resourcing with soul.
The secret to life lays in the resilience of community.
The only way through is forward.
May the greatest good come to pass.

One morning in November, I was out in the woods with my dogs, contemplating the divided state of our world when my Dad whispered, “nothing is set in stone, everything is evolving, always.” I perked up. It gave me hope, just for a moment.

I arrive at the office. Work flows and the layers peel back. Shifts arise. And it fills me again; with hope. It just keeps happening, session after session, day after day.

The cup keeps filling, teaching my eyes to witness the body as a beautiful spectrum of possibility.

So that’s the vibe I’m taking with me, rolling into the new year. Every practitioner shines a specific torch into the art of healing. For me, I live on the avenue of hope. My 9th grade health teacher once consoled me with the wisdom, “the cream always rises to the top.”

And you know, when I believe that, she’s always right. See you soon.

Happy New Moon & New Year.

With love & warm wishes,
Kat & Nahla

Holding a sacrum this week
“There is only one arrival and one departure. What you live is the journey. There are many made milestones but it’s all the same river. Let go of the destination, the real one will come soon enough. Be in the unfolding.”

On the first few mornings of my training with my Dad whispered,

“You are going to be given the keys to the human body.
What are you going to do with them?”

Stick around and find out!

P.S. Moss Man is certified, too!

The Myth, The Legend, The Anatomy Trains 12 Series Journey

When I started the Anatomy Trains Structural Integration training, I was sitting by the dock when my Dad whispered, “You are going to be given the keys to the human body, what are you going to do with them?”

“We’re on holy ground” he would say as we drove through Hopkington, the starting place of the Boston Marathon.

Holy ground, a place of beginning.

Twenty years later, I walk the stairs of the campus library. I turn, as I did back then, and look for him.

“I’m going to Tufts,” I said. It was a gut feeling. And he took it in, real like scripture.

“Go dumbos!!!”

It was the Jumbos but we’d work on that. Many times.

I wander the campus today, roll my hands in my coat pocket. They’ve spent the last two days feeling kidneys and livers, intestines, duodenums. Learning to feel skin, fat, rib, spleen. They are learning to trust their gut.

I remember these are the same hands that clung around his neck, the sudden gust of fear when move in day finally arrived. They are the ones that will keep seasoning, deepening, refining.

The ghosts of my past, my future, all here with me.

I just think it’s so beautiful when life shows you all that the viscera knows. The starting ground is holy. Just remember, trust your gut.

I woke up this morning feeling inspired to write about Why Bodywork Matters. Folks in Portland, Maine, if you're looking to unpack pain patterns and settle your nervous system, I invite you to check out my various offerings. The ferocious kitten is here because we all need this kitten in our life.

So clearly I have a biased opinion about this subject, but in a heartfelt post, I’d like to ramble on a bit about why bodywork matters. First, I’ll share the funny story about my first professional massage around the age of 27. I was in Huanchacho, Peru, a small beach town outside of Trujillo. M...
