Welcome!
If you are someone who’s yearning to shift OUT of the stress and overwhelm mode you frequently find yourself in and INTO feeling more grounded and resilient in your actual day to day life… then I’m so glad you’re here!
My name is Katrina Piehler. I am a Wellness Coach, Massage Therapist and founder of Living from Center.
I help busy people like you discover how to build and sustain do-able self care practices and healthy habits that work for you.
If you’re curious about how working with a coach can help you transform how you live and love your life, I invite you to sign up for a complimentary discovery session with me.
If you’re interested in learning about how I can help you address the ways stress is showing up in your body - click here for info about my in person massage therapy or my virtual self care massage lessons.
I also teach online wellness and self care workshops. Check the events tab here for upcoming classes. And feel free to reach out to me anytime if you’re interested in having me offer a wellness workshop/talk for your group or organization.
I look forward to connecting with you more here. Feel free to reach out with questions anytime.
I love people.
That’s how I came to be doing this work.
You see, I’m completely inspired by the human spirit, and the human body — our ability to adapt, heal, change, create and grow our selves.
In 2003 I opened Centering Touch ~ Massage Therapy & Bodywork and began helping people find rejuvenation and renewal amidst the stresses of life … and relief from the pains that showed up in their bodies because of that stress.
Over the years, I’ve found that this kind of support has become increasingly important and has become more than just a need for relief. We no longer simply yearn to have someone help us feel better. We’re discovering that we can shift and re-new how our bodies and lives are. And we want to feel more empowered to do so!
I can say it’s truly been an honor to witness and facilitate journeys of unfolding health, joy and balance for my clients.
My goal is for you to think of me as someone who’s ‘got your back’ (figuratively and literally) so that you can feel empowered to love the life you’re living.
Here’s more about my training and credentials:

I am also a Massachusetts licensed and certified massage therapist and a member of the Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals. I received my initial training and certification in holistically therapeutic massage & reflexology from the Polarity Realization Institute (now SpaTech Institute) in 2003.
