Integrated Healing Studio

I discovered Kate, and Bowen Therapy, a few months ago. Bowen treatments are gentle, and designed to let the body do its own healing, at its own speed. My body has been through a lot, and appreciates this approach.
Kate is a delight! She has lots of experience and a wide range of skills. She’s friendly, caring, and funny. I’ve always felt like she was 100% focused on me during my sessions, doing everything from making sure I was warm enough, patiently adjusting the face cradle on the therapy table until I was comfortable, and changing the protocols she used based on how my body was responding.
Just today I did a private Yin Yoga session with Kate! It was wonderful! She adjusted my alignment and used bolsters and pillows to help me get the maximum benefit from the poses, and let me take the lead for how much time my body wanted to be in each posture. At one point I told Kate that I wished we could do Yin Yoga all day together. That’s how good it felt and how much I was enjoying working with her.
During the yoga session, Kate takes notes on which poses her client does, so she can send them instructions for continuing the practice at home.
If you’re looking for gentle forms of bodywork from someone who is easy to work with and has a wicked knowledge of human anatomy, Kate is your person!

Kate was super sweet and referred my friend to the perfect person.
MOST people would have simply taken her money, and not helped her.
Thanks Kate!

Kate Deriso is a wonderful practioner. She is very knowledgeable and compassionate. Her ability to get to the root cause of a problem is exceptional. I have been collaborating with her to help individuals find the true meaning of wellness for years. When I refer patients to her, I know they will be in the most caring and experienced of hands.
Overall Kate gives people what they need and she has developed several skills that have been woven into her practice. She is not a massage therapist. She does a full evaluation of your condition and based on this, she decides her course of treatment for your condition. She uses Bowen, RockTape, aroma therapy and more. She is also a talented writer and sends out short newsletters that have very useful information. She is a gem in the holistic world and her talents have helped me and my patients feel fantastic.

I found Kate via a friend at work who told me about the amazing work she does. I had never heard of Bowen and was intrigued by what it had to offer. I had been fighting a nagging bicep pain issue and thought this might be the answer. At my first appointment I found Kate to be extremely friendly, energetic and eager to figure out what was causing my issues. She got to work testing function and applying the Bowen technique. At follow on sessions she utilized Rock Tape in support of the Bowen work. I can say I really feel improvement over all. Right after the sessions I’m extremely relaxed, like you would feel from a massage. The other thing I really like about Kate is her dedication to my issues. I feel she’s actively utilizing all her resources to figure out the solution to my problems. She always is looking at her anatomy charts, calling mentors and researching to get to the root cause. I would highly recommend Kate to anyone who is looking to improve their quality of life or fix an issue they might be having. If you don’t know much about Bowen I’d recommend her website as a start. I hope this helps and wish you good health.

If you want to get your machine (i.e. body) running smoothly and perform injury-​free, you need to add Kate to your care team. Over the last 6 months, Kate has helped me recover from back surgery and her care has given me the confidence I need to start my triathlon season strong this year. Her neuro-​kinetic assessment has also helped me hone in on areas of my body that need improvement, so that my time spent in the gym is the most efficient possible. I’ve also learned that rest and passive care are as important to my performance as the hard hours in the gym, at the track, on the bike, in the pool, on my mat, etc. Beyond her knowledge and skill, it is Kate’s sincere care for the well-​being of others that makes her extremely special.

Kate is amazing!
I visited her looking for help with recurrent migraines and neck pain. I felt better after my first visit — it was incredible! I wasn’t quite sure what to expect during my first visit but I just relaxed and let Kate do her thing and WOW. relief!

Kate is a warm compassionate knowledgeable healer. I highly recommend her for all your healing. She kept me from getting knee surgery which the physical therapist I was seeing recommend after my last session. I have also gone to Kate when the stress of life is overwhelming and I always feel much better! Kate listens, am awesome quality that many healers lack. I highly recommend a visit to Integrated Healing Studio! You will be better off for it.

I really can’t say enough good things about Kate and her business. She is an amazing healer. My first encounter with Kate was several weeks ago after I threw my back out during a ridiculous Crossfit workout. I had never had a back injury in my life and was completely unprepared for the immense pain I felt over the next 24 hours. I felt at the time (and still maintain) that it absolutely approached labor pain. I was crushed by the pain and perplexed about what to do but vaguely remembered the work that Kate did. I knew very little about Bowen work at the time but trusted Kate (whom I knew through yoga) and was in such immense pain that I was willing to have faith. Kate was able to see me the next morning and within minutes of seeing me, Kate correctly assessed me as having an issue with my psoas not my low back directly. During her treatment, I was amazed at how relaxed I felt in spite of my pain and at the adjustments she made throughout. I left the table feeling so much better and the pain never returned. I was literally in awe of the work.
Earlier this week I decided to start running again. The next morning I started to feel my low back lock up and, sure enough, that familiar agony made itself known. I immediately contacted Kate who fit me into her tight schedule. Thankfully, I went in that afternoon and after one treatment walked out completely changed. While the pain had somewhat dissipated it was still there however it went away completely by evening, just as Kate had predicted. It is such an immense relief to have a tried and true holistic remedy to go to during these times. I feel so very fortunate.
I recently mentioned to Kate that she is to me a «divine medicine woman.» She is a healer in every sense of the word. You can tell she is genuinely passionate about the work that she does, about really going deep and figuring out what’s going on beyond the presenting symptoms. She has such a vast amount of knowledge about wellness and the human body that I learn so much during my time with her. I have recommended Kate to many of my friends and ALL of my local family members. I trust her implicitly and truly adore having her as one of my caretakers in this unpredictable life. She is a blessing. :)

When I made my appointment with Kate, I didn’t know much about Bowen therapy. What I did know was that Kate seemed to be more in tune to my body than my primary physician. The week leading up to spending 50 minutes at Integrated Healing Studio I was having trouble walking from a hamstring injury. My knee felt like it would give out after walking for a short 15 minutes. Kate encouraged me to be mildly active after the therapy session. My fiancé and I walked around the mall, ran some errands, and went for a nice walk outside… no pain! No freeze ups! No problems!
Not only is Kate warm and welcoming, she’s also informative. You know exactly what she’s going to do before going into the treatment room. AND she is thrilled to help work out the problem! From this point on, Integrated Healing Studio will be my first stop when I have an injury. Her solution is better than any medicinal mask!

Kate is the best! I was having trouble with an old knee injury last spring and I was back to running again within a few weeks and I’m now running faster and farther than I was before! I’ve since seen Kate for a few other minor issues and I always leave feeling better and super relaxed. She is warm and welcoming and I always recommend her to friends and family.
