Catherine Holland

massage therapist

I have been a Licensed Massage Therapist for over two decades. My understanding of human physiology and movement is adept; initially working as an Occupational Therapy Assistant in rehabilitation, hospital and school settings including Burke Rehabilitation and Blythedale Children’s Hospitals. Massage therapy training at Swedish Institute in NYC exposed me to an alternative world of ancient modalities, teachers, healers and practitioners.

I believe in the body’s innate ability to heal and thrive; that optimal health and wellness can be achieved through functional care, including massage therapy. Touch is healing. I work intuitively. Each of my sessions will address your specific needs. I will integrate different modalities to get the best results; reduce stress, ease pain, facilitate movement and restore harmony in the body.

We are the experts of our own bodies. An advocate for relationship vs management in care, I believe that birthing experiences should be guided with information, choice, safety and autonomy. During fertility struggles in my early twenties, I channeled all of my energy (and grief) into studying Bodywork for the Childbearing Cycle. It was at this moment that the fire was ignited in me about what undisturbed physiological birth could look like. I was in awe.

I completed the Holistic Doula Program with The Matrona Foundation and continue to broaden my skill set with courses and workshops. With bodywork and movement as the framework of my care, you can come to birth feeling empowered and attuned to your body. My role is to be your companion; to listen, educate, advocate and support you as you emerge into motherhood.
