Some comments from participants in previous classes:
'Thank you again for a wonderful massage workshop.  It has inspired both my husband and I to continue giving each other massages.  It is a great bonding tool for couples. The environment felt safe and supportive.  We loved the dimmed lights, candles, and soft music.  It created an ambience of peacefulness away from our hectic daily lives'. Alvina L. and Huy L.
'We completely enjoyed the session on Tuesday.  The soft, lovely and caring space that you created made the evening really nourishing.  I especially loved how you spoke - so knowledgeably about the strokes and the body, but also really from your heart.  It made it clear that the massage is for so much more than just the body, especially when coming from/given to our partners.  We enjoyed learning from you, and for the opportunity to be together is such a fresh way.' Angela H.
'The couples massage training opened up a beautiful way for us to be with each others body's yet have a structure which actually supports healing. I was suprised that the giving felt just as good as the receiving.  Thank you Katharine for your kind instructions. I enjoyed the atmosphere and seeing all those couples starting to glow'. Johannes W.
