History
Established in 2010.
Kate has been providing massage therapy since 2005, when she started her career in Alabama. "Be" evolved in 2015 when she transferred her practice to Ice House Studios in downtown Harrisonburg. The intention of
"be" is to provide clients with a high-quality service experience, allowing them to fully relax and be present in their bodies.
Meet the Business Owner: Kate M.
Kate is passionate about healthy living and functional health care. She is a Board Certified Massage Therapist, practicing a client-based approach to bodywork. Kate's integrative style of massage incorporates techniques from various modalities, including acupressure, reflexology (feet/facial), hot stones, trigger point work, CranioSacral Therapy, NMT, Swedish, and Myofascial Release.
In addition to bodywork, Kate greatly enjoys the movement arts, especially yoga and dance (Nia). Her other interests include nutrition, herbal medicine, local foods, gardening, Spanish, creative community-building, and green living. She named her business "be" to challenge herself and clients to take time to pause and recharge; to relinquish the pressure of doing; to sink in and be fully present.
