Hi, my name is Kate Wetzel. I'm a licensed massage therapist (TX135100) who believes trauma-informed presence and touch is healing and necessary.

 

Through my bodywork business Unbound Massage + Bodywork, I currently serve the greater Austin area, the occasional Austin guest, and anyone willing to visit my studio located inside Heal in south-central Austin.

 

As is a long-time special education teacher with a master's degree in acupuncture and Chinese medicine, I combine my curiosity for neurodivergence and studies in ancient healing traditions with unwavering dedication to helping others lead more fulfilled lives, grounded in the present moment through compassionate human touch. My  practice is rooted in a passion for anatomy and physiology, in exploring how we can arrest the "fight or flight" status quo of the modern world, and in believing somatic bodywork can increase our capacity to draw innate power from emotional and rational reserves in moments of stress.  I believe healing touch is an essential part of holistic self and community care.

 

I work with many ​clients who are negotiating significant mental and physical health challenges, juggling work responsibilities and family, survivors of trauma and accidents, athletes, and others living day-to-day lives with the somatic imprints of stress that trickle into everything we do.

​

In my space, people cry, laugh, snore, and take silent well-deserved naps. Please join me.
