Katie Chambo, LMBT #17521, ERYT, AHC,
Growing up as a competitive gymnast and diver; body mechanics, movement and healing have always been a part of my life. In 2004, I received a Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science, became a Certified Yoga teacher, Pilates teacher and Personal Trainer. After college, I traveled to many places around the world teaching yoga and pilates. From 2011-2018, I went on to became a Thai Yoga Bodyworker, a Licensed Massage Therapist, Farmer, and Ayurvedic Health Counselor. I love movement, healing, health and touch and enjoy combining a variety of knowledge, skills and training with intuition to create individualized experiences and healing sessions.
I have a lot of experience working with people of all ages; whether you sit at a desk all day for work, are an athlete or a mama needing some rejuvenation. I specialize in helping to decrease muscular tension and tightness, stress reduction, increasing flexibility, helping with injury prevention and rehabilitation, sciatica, back and neck pain, IT band syndrome, Tennis Elbow, anxiety, depression, headaches, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances and fatigue. It is a passion of mine to help others to figure out the root cause of their pain, and encourage people to look at habitual patterns that may be creating postural imbalances. At the end of your Massage or Thai Yoga Bodywork session, I love teaching you stretches, exercises and self-care practices to do at home to help increase the benefits of your massage.
Additionally, I love to help people feel better throughout their pregnancy, postnatal period and beyond using massage, thai yoga bodywork and individualized food plans based on Ayurvedic Medicine.
I am a lover of all things plants! I specialize in teaching classes on organic veggie gardening, native plants, growing medicinal herbs, and natural pest management. I also co-own an herbal apothecary, Wild Indigo Herbs, where we sell herbal medicines and remedies.
In my free time, I love rock climbing, dancing, yoga, swimming in rivers, mountain biking, gardening, creating herbal medicines, hiking and spending time with my husband, son, dog and cat.
