Kathy began her professional practice of Zen Shiatsu in San Francisco at the San Francisco Chiropractic Clinic in 1984 after studying at the Acupressure Institute in Berkeley, CA, and then receiving private tutoring from Zen Shiatsu master Ping Lee. Ten years later in 1994, she opened a second office in Marin County and that same year relocated her San Francisco office to the marina district to the Ultimate Sports Medicine Clinic working with Dr. Leonard Stein and Allen Wood, DC. Currently, she maintains both offices. She has given seminars, created an instructional manual of the Zen Shiatsu Routine, and has lectured for many events including the Commonwealth Club and the Professional Business Women’s Conference highlighting the benefits of Zen Shiatsu massage and assisting the public to broaden itʼs vista of alternative healing choices. Kathy started teaching the basic and advanced Zen Shiatsu courses at the Acupressure Institute in 1996 and occasionally is a guest teacher at other schools in the bay area. Currently, she continues to privately mentor Zen Shiatsu students from around the world. Her experience in the medical and chiropractic field lends to her knowledge as a teacher and a practitioner. Her passion and devotion for Shiatsu have afforded her the joy of continued success with her practice and classes.
