Katie Singleton, CMT:

Hi, my name is Katie Singleton, I am a certified massage therapist and graduate of the Boulder College of Massage Therapy in Colorado. After first pursuing a career in business with my degree from the University of Colorado and working at a company in the outdoor industry, I decided to switch gears. Rather than focus on improving the equipment and apparel people use, I wanted to help them to improve and focus on their bodies.

In massage school, I received extensive training in a wide variety of modalities coupled with a strong education in anatomy, physiology, and kinesiology. I went on to further specialize in Swedish, Deep Tissue, Prenatal, Postpartum, and infant massage.

I recently moved to Alameda in the summer of 2009, and when I am not at Body Techniques you’ll often find me fly fishing, skiing, golfing, or enjoying the great outdoors with my Labrador-sidekick, Daisy.
