Katie Barclay, LMT
708-477-1916 |
Katie is a licensed massage therapist that graduated from the College of DuPage in 2023. Although she has only been performing massage for almost two-years, her experience has evolved into utilizing deep tissue, trigger point, myofascial techniques, and more to provide a complete and quality massage. Her passion for massage came from experience and curiosity of her own health. During all the months of COVID-19, she did not include much movement in her daily life, which led to her experiencing a serious case of piriformis-syndrome. Massage and movement became an essential part of her improved health and wellbeing. Katie knew she wanted to continue to expand this aspect of her life by becoming a massage therapist.
Her approach to massage is not singular, but quite plural. Not only in the sense that more than one modality would be employed throughout the session, but that care extends outside massage through reasoning for posture and at-home exercises, to even better aid the concerns. Katie strives to understand the body’s puzzled tensegrity to provide relief and improvement. She believes pain relief begins through dedication to self health and hopes to assist in that journey.
