A Healer’s Hand + The Nest Massage Therapists, Physical Therapists & Esthetician

I am an upbeat, compassionate, solution-oriented massage therapist practicing for over 6 years, with a hunger to keep getting better. I am here to serve people, to massage them, to motivate them and focus their knowledge. I am an educator that pulls from the strengths of many modalities but can deliver it all with a directed simplicity. My 200 hr. certified alignment yoga training collaborates beautifully with treating people on the table and educating them for life off the table. As an energy worker, I consider every massage an “energy enhancement” session that has the potential to shift everything in their life. What an honor it is to work with vehicle of the body to touch not only the muscles but the mind and the spirit of a person. My specialties and interests are in deep therapeutic massage, myofascial release, pre & postnatal, Lomi Lomi, Reiki, Reflexology, hot stone and fire cupping.

Kathleen has been practicing physical therapy for more than 30 years.  After graduating from Boston University, she worked with a wide variety of patients in multiple settings in Northern Illinois.  Early on, she discovered an affinity for patients with complex issues, which continued after a move to the Madison area.  Kathleen enjoys the challenge of setting patients on the path toward an active and pain-free life.  Using an eclectic approach, combining treatment techniques from several manual therapy disciplines with corrective exercise, she loves to solve a good puzzle and delights in the human body’s ability to adapt, repair, and perform.  Kathleen works with her patients to find the root cause of symptoms, following lines of tension and strain through the body.

She has taken courses in Myofascial Release with Barnes Seminars, Craniosacral Therapy through the Upledger Institute, Visceral Manipulation with The Barral Institute, treatment of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction from Herman & Wallace, and advanced Manual Therapy Techniques though the Institute of Physical Arts.

After growing up in Wisconsin, I decided to get out of the cold and move to the sunny Santa Monica, California. After settling down in So Cal, I started going after my life long dream of working in the beauty industry. Where I could help woman to look and feel their best. I began doing makeup for weddings, special occasions, and auditions. But after getting my Esthetician’s license, I found myself in the middle of the lash extension phenomenon. I’ve always had a thing for lashes. I carry mascara like some woman carry lipstick. One day after seeing a photo of lashes that were so incredible, I literally had chills—I had found my passion!

For the last two years I’ve been helping clients to love how they look from the moment they wake up, until they brush their teeth and smile at their lashes in the mirror, before heading to bed. I create a unique lash look around each client’s desires to assure everyone leaves feeling beautiful! So Cal was great, but the Midwest called me home. Now I’m ready to share everything I learned in a city where woman take their looks very seriously, even on camera.
