Kate is the owner of Collective Good Integrative Health, having expanded her one-person practice into a community of skilled practitioners. Following her foundational massage education at the Dayton School of Medical Massage, her practice has evolved into specializing in support for those navigating grief or loss and for those seeking palliative relief from a serious or terminal illness. She has taken Grief Massage coursework with the Institute for Grief Massage and has studied oncology massage through Healwell.

Kate enjoys slow work with massage: slow hands, pauses, chances for the body to receive, process, and absorb into itself. Chances to stretch into the long arc of time. Her practice is guided by the use of “friendly” hands (rather than painful techniques) to soothe the nervous system, relieve bodies from pain, provide a space to drop into deep rest, and contribute to the relationship clients have with themselves — and in turn, the world. She enjoys tuning into the person she is working with and providing a flow that taps into their deep well of being.

Her practice is inclusive and affirming; she is experienced and comfortable working with a diverse clientele: a mosaic of shapes, sizes, ages, abilities, ethnicities, races, and genders. Please note the massage table Kate uses is ADA compliant, 32” wide, and has a 600 lb weight capacity. She enjoys seeing clients who come from different walks of life with varying reasons for seeking massage therapy.

Kate is interested in working with clients seeking a gentle approach to massage, and clients seeking massage for palliative care or bereavement support. She also enjoys working with people of all abilities. Contact Kate if you are open to gentle touch, a sense of curiosity, and an opportunity to rest.

While not at Collective Good, Kate enjoys hiking with her dogs, gardening, cooking colorful meals, reading and writing, staying active, and spending time with her husband.

Appointment & Rescheduling Policies

I ask that you give at least 48 hours of notice as a courtesy if you are needing to reschedule your appointment. To do so, you may call 937-545-7839 or email katethomas.lmt.collectivegood@gmail.com. 

If an appointment is missed, or cancelled or rescheduled with less than 48 hours of notice, the client will be charged a cancellation fee of 100% of the service charge. Timely arrival to your appointment respects the time of the practitioner and other clients. Appointments will be cancelled and charged the cancellation fee if a client is 15 minutes late.

Thank you!
