Rebel Bodywork

In today’s episode of type 2 wellness:

Your nervous system needs more than a massage. Sometimes it needs you to go outside.

This weekend, “outside” happened to be 14,196 feet on Mt. Yale. But regulating your nervous system doesn’t require climbing a mountain.

Time outdoors—especially when paired with movement—can help reduce perceived stress, improve mood and attention, and give your brain a break from the constant stream of stimulation we live in every day.

And I think there’s an important connection to bodywork here.

When we’re chronically stressed, we often see it show up physically: guarded muscles, shallow breathing, clenched jaws, elevated shoulders, poor sleep, and that general feeling of never quite being able to turn off.

Massage can provide an environment where your body gets an opportunity to downshift. But what you do between appointments matters too.

Walk the dog.
Sit outside with your coffee.
Take the trail.
Garden.
Feel the sun on your face.
Put your phone away for twenty minutes.

You don’t have to summit a 14er.

Sometimes your nervous system just needs you to go touch grass. 🤘🏼(Mine just happens to prefer its wellness with 4,000 feet of elevation gain and a questionable amount of Type 2 fun.⛰️)

Hi friends! 👋🏼

I’ve had quite a few new faces pop up around here lately, so I thought it was time to introduce the person behind Rebel Bodywork.

I’m Katie, the owner and operator, and I’ve been a licensed massage therapist for 17 years. One of my favorite parts of this work is helping people reconnect with their bodies—understanding where they’re holding tension and what their body may be trying to tell them.

Outside of the office, I’m usually spending time with family and adventurous friends, or making the questionable decision to hike as far as possible before I have to turn around for the day. 😂🥾 As an avid backpacker, I love a good plan, and I bring that same mindset to my work with clients.

While I can’t diagnose or prescribe, I can help identify movement patterns and muscular imbalances that may be contributing to discomfort. When needed, I’m also happy to refer clients to trusted professionals in my network so we can build a more complete plan for their success.

Sometimes that includes a little “homework” based on what we noticed during your session. There’s no extra charge for that—it’s simply follow-up to help you get more from the work we’ve already done together.

Massage can reveal a lot about how we move through daily life. Maybe one quad is working harder than the other, or you realize you’ve been leaning to one side at your desk and wondering why your hip and shoulder keep complaining. I genuinely love those moments when clients start noticing those connections for themselves.

If you’re new here, welcome! And if you’ve been following Rebel Bodywork for a while, thank you for being here and supporting my little corner of the internet. I’ve recently opened up additional appointment availability and would love to help you feel more connected, capable, and comfortable in your body.
