Welcome to Refinery Energetics & Massage ... Where your body’s innate intelligence leads the way.

At Refinery, I believe your body isn’t a project to be solved or a machine to be fixed; it is a brilliant, living system with its own deep intelligence. This isn't just about managing symptoms; it’s about moving beyond the "static" of a stressed-out life to help you reclaim your energy and live into the wonder of who you actually are. My approach is grounded in my own journey through chronic illness and anxiety, which taught me that true transformation happens when we stop fighting our bodies and start listening to them. Whether you are here for the physical relief of bodywork or the profound nervous system shift of energy healing, the goal is the same: to return your energy to your own system so you can move through the world with more adaptability, less tension, and a deeper connection to yourself.

ABOUT SOMATIC ENERGY HEALING

We can't always think our way out of stress. It's time to come home to the body.

This methodology is a gentle-touch somatic spinal energywork designed to support nervous system repatterning for ease and restoration. By focusing on specific energetic points along the spine, we move away from being stuck in the mind and use the body itself as the tool for change. The objective of a session is to utilize the strategies in your energetic systems that are working well to bring incoherent strategies into alignment. These benefits can look like experiencing a new baseline of rest and relaxation and feeling more at home in your body. These sessions are only 30 minutes long, clothed, and are offered as part of a care plan to deliver long-term results.

Benefits Include:

• brings the nervous system out of fight-or-flight state
• feeling more regulated
• reduced physical tension
• improved connection to sense of embodiment
• easier breath
• more energy and vitality

ABOUT INTEGRATIVE BODYWORK

Because sometimes, you just need your neck to move again.

I know that most of the time, you aren’t looking for a "wellness journey"—you’re looking for relief from that nagging shoulder blade pain or the tension headache that won’t quit. At Refinery, Integrative Bodywork is designed to address those specific physical complaints head-on. This isn't a "one-size-fits-all" routine where every client gets the same strokes in the same order. Instead, I use a multi-disciplinary approach to get to the root of your discomfort. Whether we’re working through a layer of clothes (because you want to stay comfortable) or using traditional manual therapy, the goal is to engage the tension patterns that keep you feeling stuck. It's not a routine massage - it's bodywork that follows you.

Benefits Include:

• promote relaxation
• improve circulation
• improve muscular pain and tension
• restore mobility
• more energy

The Benefits of Massage 

First Session: What to  Expect

ABOUT KATE

My journey started in 2014 with a mysterious chronic illness that Western medicine couldn't name, let alone solve. All the while, also struggling with lifelong mental health challenges, I couldn’t get a grasp on improving. I spent years on the healthcare and wellness treadmills, being told my labs were normal while my skin was on fire and was allergic to everything. Eventually, I doubled down on the mind-body connection like my life depended on it—because, at the time, it felt like it did. Along the way, I kept hearing scientists and New Age practitioners repeat the same phrase: "Everything is energy." I remember thinking…Okay, I get it…but what does that actually mean for me? How does that change my life today? That’s where my path has led. To befriending my nervous system, finding healing, connection, and experiencing the energetic and innate wisdom of my body. When I’m not in the studio or finishing massage school, you can typically find me outside, tending to plants and goofing around with my partner and dog, a white boxer named Brutus.
