Welcome to
Form & Function
The physical body is amazing! It adapts to whatever stress you put it under. It will compensate for a weak muscle by strengthening another. It will protect injured joints with edema and inflammation. It will create scar tissue to knit together damaged tissue. The good news is that the body can also be encouraged to heal and retore. It can be trained to meet new physical demands. It can be realigned to perform more efficiently.
Form and Function is a space I have created to help you to realize your best self. It is an opportunity to prepare your body to show up for the life you want to live. The dance you want to learn, the garden you want to grow, the marathon you want to finish. I am here to help you to achieve the goals you set for yourself, and have the freedom to do it with a greater sense of functional wellbeing.

``I have been seeing Kata for massages since 2017. Not only does Kata help me relax, her care has been life changing. I’m an aging person with a physical job, and regular massage with Kata has relieved sore muscles and kept me on the move. Additionally, as a migraine sufferer, Kata has significantly helped in reducing the frequency and severity of my migraines. Go see Kata!``

``Kata’s skilled hands have made a huge difference in my life. Kata gave me a session with a goal to shift my years long journey with infertility. Her clarity and wisdom was so potent during that session. Two weeks later I was pregnant and I definitely think Kata played a role in bringing my baby to me. Kata’s presence affirms and communicates trust in change and healing. I can’t wait to get on her table again.``
BECKA
``I was recommended to see Kata by my daughter. I am a 73 year old man and I have upper shoulder and neck muscle tightness. Kata is able to eliminate the pain and I visit her every few months. She also helped with cramping and stiffness in my right arm. She is very knowledgeable and advised me how to relieve sciatic pain with exercises I can do at home.``

``I have had the honor to be treated by Kata since she began her journey as a massage practitioner. From day one she's provided skilled, intuitive, thoughtful, therapy for my body. She's treated me during periods of injury, post surgery, and change and saw me through each one to recovery while helping me address root causes of body habits that can lead to injury. She has helped treat chronic issues and bring balance to my body. She is an incredible therapist and healer, there's a reason I refer all of my family to her!``

``Kata has been my massage therapist for a couple of years. Throughout this time Kata has been caring, thoughtful, and supportive of my health goals. Kata took the time to understand my history and limitations while also pushing me to feel better and be healthier. I have multiple previous injuries that cause pain and Kata's deep understanding of human bodies helps me discover and overcome the root causes of pain and stiffness. Kata has been willing to take the time to teach me stretches and techniques to keep being better between visits. Every interaction I have with Kata improves my day. While working with Kata I feel comfortable, listened to, and supported. I recommend Kata to anyone who wants help understanding their body and improving how they feel``
