Very grateful to have been connected with Katie! I appreciate the in depth knowledge she provides to help address chronic issues. I was initially referred in relation to TMJ issues but she was thorough in discussing my history of back/neck issues to holistically treat my chronic pain. I look forward to continuing to visit her practice!
Katie is an amazing font of wisdom.. She is also calm, funny, and reasonably priced. After a few sessions of jaw massage, I had almost full recovery, therefore, avoiding invasive procedures and oral surgery. I appreciate her model of starting with psycho-education (video and reading) which jump started the relief for my very sore jaw. I can also refer to the handouts when my jaw gets a little sore again. I look forward to working with her to maximize my health. I also want to pursue some of her other services such as the non-surgical face-lift massage.
Katie is amazing! I have chronic migraines, neck tension and TMJ and she helps me with all these issues. She is extremely knowledgeable and I recommend her to everyone. My mother, sister and husband are all clients of hers. I cannot recommend her enough!!
Katie knows her stuff! She’s truly the best massage therapist—both physically and intellectually. There’s nothing she doesn’t understand about the body and how everything connects. Her deep knowledge translates into real, lasting relief. I can’t recommend her highly enough!
Highly recommend Katie! She has magical hands, especially for face/neck tension! I had a non surgical facelift buccal massage by her and I could totally feel/see the difference ☺️
Katie is a miracle worker - She has treated my TMJ and jaw and neck pain better than any other practitioner I've seen (and I've tried everything). I have lasting relief, and she's taught me stretches and self-massage to maintain it.
Katie saved me from a life of daily headaches and jaw pain! Despite Botox in my masseters I had such severe jaw/head and neck pain. I had basically given up on a pain free lifestyle. After only two visits with Katie I am headache free. I am Forever in debt to her and her skill set.
Highly recommend. Katie was able to work on areas that no massage therapist had ever been able to target. Her knowledge of the neck, jaw and entire head muscles is beyond even any doctor I have seen.
If you're struggling with neck or jaw tension, I highly recommend seeing Katie. I was referred to her by my dentist, and it's no surprise that so many dentists in the Austin area trust and recommend her. I’ve never found anyone who can melt away tension like Katie—she truly knows how to target the problem areas. On top of that, she’s incredibly kind and easy to talk to, making every session both comfortable and enjoyable.
Katie has been a tremendous help in relieving my jaw pain. She listens to my concerns and tailors each session to address my specific needs. Her skill and knowledge of the body have made a noticeable difference, and I’m so grateful for her care. I highly recommend her to anyone dealing with jaw tension or discomfort.
