Katherine Pearce C.H.P

Katherine Pearce, Certified Advanced Hellerwork Structural Integration Practitioner, trained in Australia, has been practicing Hellerwork for over 20 years in Victoria, B.C. . With a background in Modern Dance performance and kinetic movement studies, from a young age, Katherine has held a life-long interest in the human form and it’s many ways of expression.

Well into her former career as a Sign Language Interpreter for the Deaf, Katherine developed Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, a debilitating repetitive strain injury and was facing major surgery. Through her search to alleviate the severe pain, she discovered Hellerwork, which not only restored the health and use of her right arm, negating the need for surgery, but changed her life significantly, propelling her into a new career she loves immensely!

‍Katherine brings to her sessions, a deep curiosity in her clients’ individual and unique physical and emotional landscape, while offering space and support for what needs to shift. Using acquired knowledge of the human structure, combined with finely tuned intuition, she tailors each session to address her clients’ various challenges

Her work continues to be influenced by past trainings/current studies such as The Rosen Method, Aston Kinetics, Hannah Somatics, Visceral Manipulation, Hakomi Method, Tom Myers Anatomy Trains, and the trauma work of Peter Levine, Gabor Mate, and Pat Ogden.
