Kate Oliver, CMT & AA, is a California Certified Massage Therapist (CMTC), with an Associates of Arts in Anthropology. Encouraged by her mother’s experience as a massage therapist, she completed her basic training in 1999. The program incorporated over 1,000 hours of training, including: Anatomy & Physiology, Kinesiology, Swedish, Deep Tissue, Neuromuscular Therapy, and Anma (Traditional Japanese massage - source of modern Shiatsu). Over the years she has continued to study additional modalities that range from the subtle and nurturing, to the penetrative and invigorating, such as CranioSacral Therapy and Structural Integration (akin to Rolfing).
After 20 years of practicing in Los Angeles, Kate and her husband moved to Petaluma, CA., to start anew in a cooler, rural setting. Inspired by her relocation, she is building her practice with an emphasis upon clinical focus, to effectively and efficiently produce more long term results with clients.
