About Cate Clark

With a history in pharmacy, optical, and dentistry, people sometimes ask why I went on to choose a career in Massage Therapy. Lol! I felt my way through it! Not only did massage feel great, it made sense to me!  Receiving my first professional massage in 1990, I knew instantly that I recognized the tactile and nuanced language of Massage and Bodywork.

I have attended several schools and taken several basic courses in Manual Lymph Drainage Therapy. In 2010, I received Certification (CMLDT) through Klose Training and Consulting.

Currently, my full time practice consists primarily of regular repeat clients. Some have standing weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly appointments. I also welcome new clients. My practice is gender-inclusive and I accommodate people with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity.

Holy Fire Reiki
Basic Reiki was a unit within my original 750 hour Massage Therapy training in 1990. Applied as self-care, or shared within a small group experience, Reiki can be a clear and palpable channel of Love and well being. I received my Ignitions to Holy Fire Reiki, the work of William Rand, in 2022.

Craniosacral
Upledger courses CST1 and CST2 were followed up with regular participation in Upledger-based peer study group with Eric Moya at Ripple Effect in Albuquerque, NM 2005 - 2010. Zen Cranio courses with Etienne Piersman through the former NMAHA in Santa Fe, NM 2010-2011, offered another, bio-dynamic perspective. Etienne's ZenCranio broadened my understanding of craniosacral and its applications.

Manual Lymph Drainage Therapy
In 2010, I completed the certification course CMLDT through Klose Training and Consulting, LLC.

 
 

Massage Therapy since 1991

I consider Continuing Education a very important part of being a good massage therapist. Throughout each two-year license renewal period, I accumulate over 70 hours of CEU, well beyond the 16 hours required by State of New Mexico.

Training has included Ten Thousand Waves mentorship program, New Mexico Academy of Healing Arts, and Scherer Institute in Santa Fe, New Mexico; Higher Knead Apprenticeship, Crystal Mountain, and New Mexico School of Natural Therapeutics in Albuquerque, New Mexico; Big Sky Somatic Institute in Helena, and Stone Spirits in Kalispell, Montana; as well as classes and courses through  Cross Country Seminars; Qi Revolution, Upledger Institute, and Klose Training & Consulting.

Since graduating from basic massage therapy training in January 1992, I have worked in a variety of public and private settings. The more I learn about bodywork and massage, the more my interest grows. With each new level, deeper inquiries bring heightened awareness for every nuance and increased appreciation for the depth of massage and bodywork. My own fascination for scope and potential of this work keeps me inspired to continue to cultivate and refine my knowledge and skills, and offer a signature massage style that is exceptionally gentle and deep.
