Kate and Bree founded Meta Massage & Bodywork in 2020. As two medical professionals with a passion for massage therapy, they use their education and expertise to target your specific health care needs. They don’t view massage as simply a road to relaxation -- although this is often still an outcome. Bree and Kate speak the language of your primary care physician, your chiropractor, your physical therapist, and they will collaborate your care with them to provide you with the most effective and individualized treatment plan.
About Meta
Bree and Kate have sought out massage therapy as an extension of their medical field careers because they believe in bodywork as a part of healthcare.
