Katie Hopkins
Massage Therapist License #14546
A graduate of Asheville’s Center for Massage and Natural Health, Katie has perfected her Swedish massage and integrated it with Myofascial Release and other intuitive approaches to create a deeply relaxing, rejuvenating, and restorative experience. Katie works carefully and effectively with the fascia (the body’s emotion-storing web of connective tissue) to release painful tension and help identify postural holding patterns that cause chronic pain. Her aim in each session is to enhance somatic awareness, address root-cause areas of chronic pain, and create a safe space for the recipient to feel at ease.
Since completion of her massage and bodywork therapy training, Katie has taken continuing education courses in deep tissue modalities, Thai Massage, and Myofascial Release. She considers herself a life-long student, and embraces every opportunity to learn. She enjoys reading anatomy books and engaging in meditative physical practices such as yoga, dance, and twirling to broaden her understanding of the body both intellectually and kinesthetically.
