Meet Katie.

Massage therapist and online educator.

Welcome! I'm Katie Pudhorodsky, a structural massage therapist of 22 years. My speciality is relaxing deep tissue, prenatal massage, and Neuromuscular Therapy. The niche that I am most passionate about is structural work for the head, neck and jaw.  Clients work with me to address the muscular component of their headaches or TMJ pain. This has also branched into facelift massage / buccal massage integrating Celluma LED.

I believe that through communication we can create the session you need for the day. I compare it to ordering at your favorite taco joint, a coffee at Starbucks, or at a top rated Michelin restaurant. Read that blog post here.

My new clients are mainly through dentist, doctor, or client referrals.

In order to help more people experiencing headaches, neck or jaw pain I developed two online, learn-at-your-own-pace video courses with my second business of Help Head Pain. For my hands on headache and TMJD clients I reference it for your homework to achieve and maintain muscular relief. Try a free teaching video by signing up below.

“Highly recommend. Katie was able to work on areas that no massage therapist had ever been able to target. Her knowledge of the neck, jaw and entire head muscles is beyond even any doctor I have seen.”

    I actually buy and test pillows so I can confidently refer them to clients and online learners. If I wouldn’t use it myself, I won’t suggest it to you. This foam pillow? Not it. ❌ It triggered a full-day neck-driven headache, and to make it better… I’m learning their return policy only applies if the pillow is unused. So apparently you’re supposed to know it won’t hurt you before sleeping on it? Cool cool cool. This is exactly why I don’t preach “the perfect pillow.” Neck position, muscle tension, and sleeping habits matter far more than the product. In my courses, I teach you how to: • support your neck & spine with what you already own • calm irritated muscles when sleep goes wrong • stop headaches before they snowball • adjust habits that quietly cause pain Because you deserve solutions that don’t come with ridiculous fine print.

    Valentine’s Day reminder: Your jaw and neck are part of intimacy too. If clenching, tightness, jaw pain, or headaches are stealing the moment… that’s not “just stress.” It’s muscular tension—and it’s something you can actually address at home. In my learn-at-your-own-pace online courses, I teach: ❤️‍🔥 Jaw, neck, and face self-massage ❤️‍🔥 Intraoral (inside-the-mouth) massage ❤️‍🔥 Stretching + stabilization for better jaw movement ❤️‍🔥 How to stop clenching before it kills the vibe ❤️‍🔥 Perpetuating factors to adjust to keep the pain from coming back (like sleeping positions) Better movement. Less pain. More comfort—for kissing, talking, laughing, eating, and everything that comes after 😉 Start with my free video lesson and see how much relief is possible when you address the muscular side of jaw pain. 💘 Because making out shouldn’t hurt. . #TMJRelief #JawPainRelief #intimacymatters #valentinesdayideas #ValentinesDayWellness

    This is what I love when someone actually experiments with their habits. A client and course learner adjusted a sleeping position that was irritating their neck. Relief showed up. Then life happened, they slipped back into the old habit… and their neck got angry again—fast. That’s not coincidence. That’s cause and effect. Muscles respond to what we repeatedly ask them to do—especially for 6–8 hours every night. When you remove what’s irritating them, relief can actually hold. This is exactly the kind of pattern we identify inside my online video courses: • what’s aggravating your neck or jaw • what to change (not everything—just the right things) • and how to support the muscles so they calm down instead of flare up If you want a place to start, my free video lesson includes a piece of sleeping-position guidance—plus jaw self-massage—to help you feel the difference yourself.
