Kathryn M. Barker

Owner/ Massage Therapist

​Born and raised in Santa Barbara County, Kathryn attended Cabrillo High School and graduated in 2012. During her childhood and young adult years she competed in a variety of equestrian events, swam on her high school's swimming team, and was an avid hiker. Kathryn started to develop chronic pain in her hips, low back, and neck which in time prevented her from continuing her active lifestyle. Introduced to massage therapy at a young age by her grandmother, Kathryn's first massage therapist, she started seeking different therapies to help alleviate the pain and start the healing process. In 2015 Kathryn enrolled at California Holistic Institute where she met her mentor David Goldeen; A well known Myofacial Release Therapist and teacher at California Holistic Institute. Though massage therapy has its proven benefits, Myofascial Release Therapy was the most effective treatment Kathryn has experienced personally and with her clients in the treatment room. After graduating the Massage Therapist program in 2017 and working with David in his office, treatment room, and assisting in his classes at CHI, Kathryn has opened the doors to her Myofascial Release and Massage Therapy business. Still working with David, attending courses, following new studies, and collaborating with other therapists, It is Kathryn's goal to provide therapeutic healing, insight on body awareness, and educate her clients about effective selfcare so their healing can continue to take place outside of the treatment room.
