Meet Katie Girompini Aller, a Licensed Massage Therapist and the Owner of Revive Bodywork, a holistic self-care center providing massage, yoga, and fitness programs for all. With a zest for life and purity in her intentions, Katie wants to make this world a better place through personal interactions, embodiment experience whether through bodywork or yoga , a signature smile, or a warm hug. Katie is deeply connected to and inspired by Nature and the Universal Life Force Energy which resides in all things and the absence of space.
Among kind, community-based support figures and an endless desire to immerse myself in sports and extracurricular activities like Jazz Band, Horseback Riding, Gymnastics, and Yoga, I grew up diverse, capable and strong. Though an impeccable student with study skills and aptitude, Katie fell distant in meaningful connection with the surface level relationships of the early college experience and hit a fork in the road.
She suddenly yearned for a passion besides writing a good paper, basketball, or a date. It was while learning to make pizza that she discovered the love and familiar genetic gift of working with her hands. I had found my passion.
The success of Revive Bodywork came with challenges of its own. Within 2 years of running the practice, Katie was booked solid 6. Figuring out what to do with her hours outside the treatment room was a task for her, and on an emotional level, she was caught in the never-ending loop of self-doubt and perfectionism.
Today, time management skills, habit-hacking, taking a breath before reacting as a parent to two young souls, and allowing herself more and more grace in the resting knowing that she is doing the best she can are her constant challenges, but with a belief that she is enough, her relinquishing control, and leading with conviction, Katie always gives all of her energy and heart to her job because she cares about the people experiencing healing and inspiration.
