Kate Pentz

I found massage in 2007 and fell in love with the nurturing practice of taking care of others in this meaningful way. I feel so honored each time I am trusted to put my hands on a client’s body and offer my healing touch. I spent 3 years working at a spa and decided that I would like to have my own private practice where I could honor my own boundaries and provide better care to each person. I started my practice in 2011 on Bend’s westside.

I believe so strongly that our bodies want to be pain-free, and that bone-crushing pressure is not the way to reduce pain. Massage should not be suffering, it should be restorative to the nervous system. I look forward to having you on my table and helping you let go of the stress your body is carrying for you.
