About
Katie Bortle
Katie has practiced massage therapy since 2010 and was trained at the Arizona School of Integrative Studies in Flagstaff, where she completed a 750-hour intensive course.
​
Since graduating, she has taken numerous continuing education courses to expand her massage repertoire. Highlights include myofascial, fascial stretch therapy, structural integration, craniosacral, neural manipulation and neuromuscular reeducation therapy.
Katie loves how massage therapy helps her connect with people more profoundly. Whether physically or energetically, she especially enjoys aiding in the progress of individuals with specific needs, alleviating chronic or acute pain, and helping them achieve an overall better well-being.
Katie holds an Arizona massage therapy license and is a board certified therapist through NCBTMB.
Katie's desire to help others, combined with her love of the plant world, inspired her to attend the Herbal Wisdom Institute in Prescott Valley Arizona, where she completed a certification in Western Herbalism in 2019. This course gave Katie the knowledge to help others discover how to incorporate herbs into their lives.
Katie became a qualified level two hypopressive trainer through Hypopressives Canada. She is excited to bring this complete core training system to her clients and help them reach optimal core and pelvic health.
​
She is deeply grateful for all the training she's received thus far and is honored to bring massage therapy, herbalism and hypopressives to Flagstaff.​
