Hello, I’m Katie.
I’m a Holistic Therapist with over 18 years of experience helping people move better and live pain-free. Based at the Fernwood Therapy Room in Weston, North Hertfordshire, I specialise in Myofascial Release (John F Barnes Method), a transformative therapy that addresses the fascial system to ease chronic pain, tension, and emotional stress.
My practice is shaped by global training and working with diverse groups of clients. I qualified in Holistic Massage therapy in 2007, however Myofascial Release has been the missing piece in my practice, enabling me to truly address the root cause of pain and create lasting change.
As a keen hiker and runner, MFR transformed my own life when scoliosis and lower back pain stopped me from training. After just a few sessions, I was able to get back to doing what I love again, without a niggle! I am passionate about this work, and committed to ongoing education and providing exceptional care for my clients.
