ᐧ Chi Nei Tsang ᐧ
Chi Nei Tsang is an ancient Taoist practice of abdominal organ massage — working to restore the flow of chi through the vital organs, release what has accumulated, and return the body to its own natural order. The touch is slow and intentional: gentle on the surface, profound in what it reaches.
In an in-person session, we work directly with the abdomen to release chronic tension, support circulation, and tend the digestive and reproductive systems. As the belly softens, a deep relaxation often follows — and it is not uncommon for emotional or energetic releases to arise naturally as part of the process. The belly holds more than we typically acknowledge, and this work creates the conditions for it to let go.
— five session packages available —
This work is especially supportive for those experiencing chronic belly tension, digestive difficulties, or reproductive imbalances — and for anyone longing to feel more at home in their body. Clients often leave with a sense of deeper connection to their belly, greater ease in digestion and breath, and most importantly, more like themselves.
Katherine is trained and certified in Chi Nei Tsang through the Universal Healing Tao system under Grandmaster Mantak Chia — a lineage that draws from Taoist medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and centuries of accumulated wisdom about the body as a living energetic system.

ᐧ Mentorship ᐧ
The belly holds more than we realize — tension, emotion, memory, and an intelligence all its own. This mentorship is an invitation into deep, personalized belly listening — a one-on-one container shaped entirely around you and what you are here to tend.
Through Chi Nei Tsang self-massage, Taoist inner alchemy, feminine alchemy, and gentle somatic inquiry, we map your body's particular landscape together. What you carry, how you hold it, what wants to move — this work is customized to meet you exactly where you are, and to grow with you over time. Layer by layer, session by session, we soften what's been gripped, meet what's been stored, and cultivate the aliveness that lives beneath the noise of daily life.
— monthly containers available —
This container is for those seeking deeper personal support, and for practitioners and healers who want to bring this work more fully into their own bodies and offerings. Whether you are new to these practices or already walking this path, the mentorship meets you there.
You'll leave with a practice that is truly yours — rituals and tools drawn from our work together that keep you connected long after our container closes, and a lasting shift in how you inhabit yourself.
This work is for those ready to build a real, loving relationship with their body — and who sense that the belly is exactly where that journey begins.

ᐧ Group Practice ᐧ
Katherine regularly offers group practice containers for women — intimate, evolving spaces rooted in Chi Nei Tsang self-massage and Taoist inner alchemy and feminine alchemy practice. Each container is its own shape: some span several weeks, some gather around a single theme or season, all of them held in a spirit of shared tending, practice, and deep listening.
Taoism understands the body as nature — moved by the same rhythms as water, soil, and sky. These practices work with that understanding directly, using touch, breath, and attention to tend the belly and the organs, to soften what has hardened, and to return the body to its own quiet intelligence.
To practice together in this way is to remember something ancient about how women have always gathered: in circle, in care, in reciprocity with the living world.
We meet on Zoom, with sessions recorded for those who cannot join live. Participants are welcomed into a private WhatsApp group for ongoing connection and support throughout the container.
These offerings are for those longing to feel more at home in their bodies, to reconnect with their inner rhythms, and to nourish the body through consistent, embodied care.

Womb health, Taoist feminine practice, postpartum, anxiety, stress, burnout, sleep, and digestive issues are my specialty.

The space I work in is part of the medicine — beauty itself is settling, and the body relaxes differently when it feels held by something carefully tended. I bring the same attentiveness to my presence: quiet, unhurried, open.
For those who want to take the work home with them, I also teach — in person and online. I guide people in applying Chi Nei Tsang practices to their own bellies, and lead women in Taoist feminine practices rooted in the same tradition. The intention is the same whether I am teaching or practicing: to help people develop a living, tended relationship with their own center.
People leave feeling more at home in their bodies. More spacious. Over time, the changes accumulate: better digestion, deeper sleep, less chronic tension in the abdomen, a greater capacity to meet life without bracing against it. A returning, as one client put it, to themselves.

Sessions with Katherine are slow. Slower than you might expect. She works with rather than against, trusting that given time and safety, the body finds its own way toward ease.
