Trauma-sensitive and body positive massage. Therapeutic and relaxing work for pain relief and stress relief. My intuitive, committed touch heals and comforts.

I''m Katrina Koleto, Licensed Massage Practitioner, and it's my deepest Joy to be a facilitator of health and wellness. A lifetime of kinesthetic interest has led me to many pursuits, including a dance minor in college, a year as a group fitness instructor, and several years as a Physical Therapy aide. But no path has ever been made my spirit soar as much as massage therapy. In massage, my interes

t in movement & structure combines with my desire to help my community reach for higher levels of wellness. When I give massage, not only do I see my client’s mood transform each time they are on the table, but also I see their bodies transform over time as we work together on chronic issues. The smiling faces and repeat bookings just reinforce what I already know-- when I do this work, I am living inside my Dharma. In addition to massage, movement therapy has been a longtime passion of mine. I have a background in dance choreography, fitness instruction, and PT assisting; those experiences blend with my education in a variety of movement practices, from Tai Chi to Zumba to Yoga, to support my current movement classes and workshops. More than just a teacher, I am a gentle guide, helping my clients and students reconnect with their bodies in profound ways that lead to better health, greater satisfaction, and deeper self-expression. I offer treatment-focused and relaxation massages, tailoring my work to suit the needs of each individual. Types of massage/healing I offer:
Swedish
Myofascial release
Deep tissue
Neuromuscular Re-education
Intuitive massage
Sports massage
Reiki
Energy work

I bring with me a history of education in a variety of movement/healing modalities, including but not limited to:
Anatomical Kinesiology
Structural Integration
Feldenkrais
The Alexander Technique
Aikido
Karate
Tae Kwon Do
Tai Chi
Yoga
Modern Dance
Ballet
Jazz Dance
Tap Dance
Ecstatic Dance

Happy Equinox (a couple days late)! I truly love Fall. Planting bulbs, Rosh Hashanah, back to school-- it truly feels like a time of new beginnings.

Anyway, if you are needing a massage, and you have managed to avoid the viral crud that's going around, I have a few unexpected openings this week!

Despite the warm weather, the nip of fall is in the air, so I got a new doormat at home to celebrate the autumnal equinox. :) I love this time of year: planting bulbs, Rosh Hashanah, back to school-- Fall is a time of so many new beginnings!

It's one of those brief moments when I have some space for new clients, which means it's a good time to come in yourself if you have been meaning to, or recommend me to someone you love. Happy Solstice! ☀️

I took my friend Saara out for a tasty vegan lunch at Cafe Flora, to celebrate her graduation this past weekend. She was delighted at the way my glasses matched the strawberry on my beautiful drink.

"When your vehicle is also your home and safe place, the stakes are much higher when a repair is needed. A car that won’t start can mean missing work and potentially losing your employment; it can mean not being able to move from an unsafe location. Not being able to afford basic safety repairs can mean putting off a brake job that could lead to an accident and losing your shelter. Transportation is often overlooked when discussing equality, access, and basic needs. Together, we can ensure that the conversation about equity includes access to reliable transportation. " -Eli Allison of Auto Repair Transformation

The mission of Auto Repair Transformation is to close the equity gap in the automotive repair industry by removing barriers to access, inspiring marginalized people to enter and thrive in the industry, and advocating for inclusive and equitable environments. We primarily serve and address the needs....

Our Story

I'm Katrina Koleto, Licensed Massage Therapist, and it's my deepest Joy to be a facilitator of health and wellness. A lifetime of kinesthetic interest has led me to many body-focused pursuits throughout the years, including a dance minor in college, a year as a group fitness instructor, and several years as a Physical Therapy aide.

Eventually, I was working as a caregiver for a man who was partially paralyzed by a spinal cord injury. His Physical & Occupational Therapists and Massage Therapists taught me several bodywork techniques that I used with this client daily, to improve his function. Eventually, it dawned on me that doing this bodywork with my client was my favorite part of the day, and that with a little training, I could make bodywork my primary occupation.

Unfortunately at that time, I was diagnosed with Stage I breast cancer, and in the midst of receiving treatments for that, I also broke my wrist in a scooter accident. The wrist was so painful I had to quit my caregiving work, and I took on a couple of part time jobs that were easier on my wrist. I spent the next two years trying to figure out what to do with my life if I wasn't going to be a massage therapist.

Then, one day, it dawned on me that I was sitting there cancer-free with a healed wrist, and that there was nothing stopping me from going to massage school. Within a year, I was enrolled at the Cortiva Institute, and in 2013 I became a Licensed Massage Practitioner in the state of Washington. I began working right away, both in a supervised setting with others and in a part-time private practice, and in 2017, I left my position as an employee and transitioned to a thriving full-time private practice.

Since 2016, I have also been a co-facilitator for a dance at a dance I founded for women and nonbinary folks, called Moondance: A Gender-Intentional Dance, though we only met one time in 2019, due to my struggles with adenomyosis (which eventually led to a hysterectomy in November). I hope to lead more Moondance events in 2020. I bring with me a history of education in a variety of movement/healing modalities, including but not limited to: Anatomical Kinesiology Structural Integration Feldenkrais The Alexander Technique Aikido Karate Tae Kwon Do Tai Chi Yoga Modern Dance Ballet Jazz Dance Tap Dance Ecstatic Dance African Dance Ballroom Dance Nia Zumba Bodypump/Weight lifting

I LOVE MY WORK! That's the bottom line, and the main thing you need to know about how I approach massage: I love what I do. Massage is a powerful healing modality that I feel honored to be able to practice. It's fascinating and rewarding and fun! And my love for the work shines through in every session.

My clients know I truly care about what they're going through and that I will do everything I can to help them relax, reduce pain, reduce stress, and just feel more comfortable and at ease in their bodies. I am an empath who can sense subtle shifts in each client's tissues and moods while they are on that table, and I use that information to tailor the massage to the needs of the moment. I have training in caring for folks with PTSD (and as someone who has experienced my own various traumas, I have direct experience with some of the ways PTSD can feel & manifest).

Because I offer non-judgmental, open-hearted care, I end up with a lot of repeat clients who aren't as comfortable with other practitioners. I have a gentle and accepting philosophy that there is no wrong way to have a body, which means I adore bringing health and healing to folks who have any shyness around their bodies-- from clients who identify as fat, to folx who are trans, to persons with disabilities. I've seen it all, and your body is beautiful and sacred to me, exactly as it is. I value a body-positive, trans-inclusive, non-ableist approach to life and to my work.

My massage approach uses a blend of many different styles of massage, including slow deep-tissue and myofascial work (to really get the knots out), and soothing, nourishing Swedish massage and gentle Craniosacral holds (designed to calm the nervous system). I want you to feel good on the table AND for several days afterwards! With clients' consent, I also occasionally employ tools such as cupping, gua sha, essential oils, and CHABA. And as we go, I always encourage feedback-- I want you to tell me what works for you and what doesn't, so together we can create the perfect experience.
