When you are anxious, you get stuck in a cycle of worry. This anxious worry can cause you to second-guess yourself and spawn more worry, leaving you feeling at a disadvantage in work and social situations. Chronic anxiety can show up physically as headaches, shortness of breath, body aches, and digestive problems.
Anxiety can be particularly frustrating when it prevents you from falling asleep at night. Instead of being able to drift off into a peaceful sleep, you find yourself replaying experiences that didn’t go your way or anticipating what you have to do tomorrow. You know you could handle these pressures better if you could just go to sleep. But your anxiety won’t let you.
Regular weekly, bimonthly or even monthly massage can help shift the emotional, physical and thought patterns associated with anxiety and insomnia. Acupressure has been proven extremely effective in helping reduce anxiety and improving sleep so you can better face the challenges of your day. I'll help you carry the positive effects of your acupressure session home, by giving you self-acupressure techniques you can practice in stressful situations.

Breaking Out of Hopelessness
I came to Katharine with chronic pain from a shoulder injury. Almost worse than the pain was the worry that it would never go away.
Katharine has helped decrease my pain and I have broken out of the cycle of hopelessness. Now if I feel pain, I know it can go away.
This skill transfers into other parts of my life and I am better able to manage my anxiety.
