License # 4059, year licensed 2011.

I was trained at Advanced Massage Therapeutics in Louisville, Kentucky, receiving my state licensure in massage therapy in 2011. My foundational studies included Injury Assessment and Treatment, Anatomy and Physiology, Pain Management, Kinesiology, Trigger Point Therapy, Swedish massage techniques and Deep Tissue techniques with a focus on myofascial work. Since graduating I have completed the required coursework in the Usui program to become a Reiki Master, and will be completing my Thai Massage certification in 2024. I take continuing education seriously and regularly exceed the state's minimum requirements to maintain my licensure. Past courses include integrated reflexology, Indian head face and foot massage (an ayurvedic technique), the science of fascia, introductions to aromatherapy and craniosacral therapy, and multiple Jin Shin Jyutsu classes. Currently, I am working towards completing the required seminars to be considered a student practitioner of Jin Shin Jyutsu, and am in the process of completing the second of two courses to further my understanding of and treatment options for headaches and migraines. After 2024 I hope to finally pursue my dream of becoming a yoga teacher which I have been practicing and incorporating into my work for just over a year with an eventual goal to pursue aromatherapy and herbalism. Other future dreams include completing the Manual lymph drainage certification, more craniosacral coursework, and Lomi Lomi classes.

I have a deep interest in environmental improvement and sustainability that extends into my business practices. My passion for natural living and understanding what the body can do on its own have guided me on my path to using the least-invasive, most natural methods possible first when working with clients- believing that you can always work up the ladder to more invasive methods as needed. I love to share what I have learned so far with anyone willing to listen, and I practice non-judgment for all. 

“My name is Katie Morris. I am a licensed massage therapist. My goal is to promote health and wellness through massage. Many people see massage as a luxury-which isn't false, but it also isn't correct. Massage helps keep your body in balance assisting it in functioning to the best of its ability. People who receive regular massage experience benefits like increased circulation, better immune system function (getting sick less often), reduced or eliminated aches and pains, fewer injuries, improved sleep, reduced stress (physically and mentally), and in general, feel healthier and more at-home in their bodies. Athletes who receive regular massage also experience these benefits, with the added bonuses of shorter recovery times after events and increased performance. Regular massage is a lifestyle choice similar to that of choosing to go to the gym regularly, seeing a chiropractor, or switching to an organic diet.”
